Exercise: Passive Stress-Free in Kaimuki "Toning Tables" were invented back in the 1930s by a physiotherapist, Dr. Bernard H. Stauffer M.D., for his polio-stricken wife. Toning tables allow the clients to exercise muscles in a semi-passive state called continuous passive motion. Six machines work through repetitive isokinetic exercises to isolated muscle groups. The slow, continuous, smooth controlled movements of the tables improve mobility, flexibility and localized blood and lymphatic circulation. Stauffer noticed that with regular use of these tables muscles were gently toning and firming figures into shape, helping to trim away inches. While the tables are contouring a new figure, the relaxing movement alleviates tension and generates a feeling of well-being. Fantasy Fitness Salon, located in Kaimuki, is offering this type of passive stress-free exercise with the hard work taken out; and it requires minimal effort from the user. This is a wonderful approach to exercise and figure-forming fun. Toning tables are designed to support a person's weight while they resist the movement of the machine. Accordingly, this dismisses the usual exertion caused by traditional exercise, allowing clients to exercise longer and burn more calories. A sixty-minute workout includes 6 different passive movement tables. It is no surprise therefore, that the muscles are toned and tightened quickly and effectively with regular use. Some clients can feel some difference in as little as four sessions. As with all exercises, you should consult your doctor and establish a regiment because you do need to make sure you do not have long spells of absence from your program, for inch loss. It shouldn't be hard to find time even in the busiest of schedules to fit in a visit to the Fantasy Fitness Salon. Also, the good news is that you do not sweat so you can continue your day feeling as fresh as when you arrived. This is a wonderful approach to exercise and figure-forming fun. Toning tables can help men, women and seniors achieve their personal fitness goals. With the Fantasy Fitness Salon's toning tables, a client lies down and does 300 side bends in seven minutes through resistance. That's more repetitions than you would ever do in a gym. Psychologists acknowledge that when we look our best we tend to feel our best; therefore, toning the body is a great way to achieve optimum self-confidence. Fantasy Fitness Salon's toning equipment basically works on the trunk area where people begin to gain weight. The toning tables are user-friendly and low impact to the degree that overweight and physically limited patrons can participate as equally as anyone else. The first impression was a lasting one.
