Far too many people spend their entire lives chasing after money, wealth, power, success, pleasure and ego gratification.  They go about this pursuit sometimes 10 – 20 hours a day, 6 & 7 days a week, all year long, for decades, while in the back of their minds they are wondering, “Will I live long enough to enjoy it?”

            We should have all learned by now that as human beings we have basic physiological needs that must be met: AIR—if we do not have air, we die within minutes!  WATER—if we do not have water, we die within days!  FOOD—if we do not have food, we die within weeks!  EXERCISE—if we do not exercise, our bodies prematurely age, break down and develop numerous diseases, disabilities and dysfunctions.  In order to complete the series, many experts list SEX as a basic physiological need, but we have been unable to determine how long you can go without dying from lack of sex.  It seems scientists have a great deal of difficulty setting up the research due to a lack of experimental volunteers.

            All the wonders of our modern technology have created a plethora of “labor saving” technologies, but this is as much a curse as it is a blessing!  It is a curse because the labor saving devices have robbed us of the need for physical activity as a necessity to sustain life.  Not too many years ago, we had to hunt and farm and do heavy manual labor just to eat regularly.  Those days are gone, with highly processed, nutritionally deficient, calorie-packed foods, and short car rides to the grocery store.  Now you do not even have to get off the sofa to change channels on the TV!

            Now comes a new technology, an EXERCISE technology that can provide more benefit in less time than any exercise technology developed so far.  The TRIO 33 is a vibration plate that can activate virtually every muscle spindle in every muscle fiber in your body.  The TRIO 33 activates the “myotatic stretch reflex” (MSR) that, until now, has only been able to be activated by athletes using high intensity exercises via Plyometric Training.  Plyometrics are rarely used by the average person because of the high intensity required to activate the MSR is just too demanding, and the high risk of injury to the deconditioned athlete.  The TRIO 33 can be used by anyone, of any fitness level, and any age.

            Even better is the TRIO 33’s capability of reaching virtually every muscle in the body.  Bodybuilders, Olympic lifters, weight lifters and most resistance training or strength training athletes will typically do weight lifting exercises that affect 35 muscles in the body.  The TRIO 33 reaches virtually ALL 606 muscles and 203 bones in the body.  Athletes, coaches and personal fitness trainers have attempted to reach all 606 muscles by using exercise techniques referred to as CORE TRAINING or FUNCTIONAL TRAINING.  Unfortunately, core training or functional training requires relatively high levels of fitness and athletic conditioning to become effective.  But even at core training’s and functional training’s highest levels of effectiveness, they cannot come close to the effectiveness achieved by the TRIO 33.  The TRIO 33 vibrating at high speed creates significantly higher and faster myotatic stretch reflex response that can’t possibly be achieved by even the world’s fastest, most powerful athletes.

            Arguably the greatest impact of the TRIO 33 may be its ability to maximize all 10 Components of Fitness, to a far greater degree than virtually any other exercise modality.  In core and functional training techniques, there is always a trade-off between components of fitness.  In core and functional training, you increase the ability to work agility, balance and coordination, the main components of the core and functionality, but you sacrifice maximal strength, speed, power, and the lean tissue (muscle) gains so necessary to improve body composition.  Research clearly shows that core and functional training can decrease primary & targeted muscle activation by 70%.  Put another way: a stable chest press can provide 100% activation of the pectoral major to increase the overall strength and size (muscular hypertrophy) of the targeted or primary muscle, the pectoral major.  If you perform a core or functional exercise for the pectoral major, many more of the stabilizer muscles are activated, but the muscle activation of the pectoral major drops to 30%.  You can avoid this loss of muscle activation by performing your core or functional training on the TRIO 33.

            The benefits of utilizing the TRIO 33 are tremendous.  You can work all 10 Components of Fitness:  Strength, Speed, Power, Anaerobic Endurance, Aerobic Endurance, Agility, Balance, Coordination, Flexibility, and Body Composition far more safely and effectively than any other exercise modality ever created.  And probably the best part of the TRIO 33 is its ability to perform all these wonderful benefits, in the shortest possible time.

            Getting back to our initial dilemma, the hardworking, fast-charging, “I don’t have time for exercise!” patient and clients can get a complete, all-encompassing workout done in a very short time.  You can set up a complete 30-minute program for your patient or client that will be safer and more effective than many workouts lasting four times as long.
