Computerised EquipmentComputers run at the heart of modern gym equipment. With pulse rate, calorie burn and pace of exercise so monitored, as in this exercycle, overweight people reduce chances of overexertion. None of this is cheap of course. Prices of Rs 1 lakh are not uncommon.Muscle Stimulators and VibratorsMachines that tone the muscles by vibrating them, with repeated contraction and relaxation of muscles. Considered a basic body workout by some, but the experts think repeated.vibrations could mean painful mini-haemorrhages.LiposuctionSurgical method to pump out fat from the body. The obese flock to plastic surgeons for liposuction but it is not a treatment for obesity at all. It can cause swelling and infection, even blood collection in the affected region.Vacuum PumpsA machine that manages to create a vacuum in parts of the body. How does that help?

As for clinical basis: no research at all.Published By: AtMigration Published On: Dec 21, 1998--- ENDS ---
