New technology is all about encouraging faster weight loss from those stubborn fatty areas. Yes, we’re talking bums, tums and thighs – the bits that are usually last to go. A revolutionary technology that has gained popularity in recent times is Vacunaut, which works by applying pressure to the middle section of your body while you partake in a gentle jog on the treadmill. This encourages blood flow to the lower regions of your body, helping you use those fatty deposits that can be hard to shift with normal exercise. Don’t fancy the jog? Fear not, electro stimulation may be the way forward. Certain machines, such as Power Plates, can contract and relax your muscles - almost as if you’re doing exercise while you lie there. Not that we’re lazy of course…
There are also a number of weight loss treatments at your local salon, which don’t involve machines that look like they’re from a science fiction movie. The body wrap is a contouring product that can tighten, tone, and firm any area of the body by getting you sweaty and removing excess water. It’s not one to sit around the pool sipping a gin and tonic, but body wraps like the Universal Contour Wrap claim to shrink a minimum of six inches per sessions and regular treatment can result in smoother skin with less visible cellulite.
