Trying to shave off excess pounds is not an easy task and the results aren’t always satisfactory. While you may see success initially, maintaining consistent ideal weight requires religious dedication with your fitness regime and diet. But, there may be an easy solution in sight — The Hypoxi targeted body shaping method.

What is Hypoxi?

Considering our frenetic schedules, sticking to a fitness regimen is a daunting task. And even if you do follow a strict training programme, losing stubborn fat deposits in certain areas of your body, especially the tummy area, seems difficult. This is where the Hypoxi method of weight-loss comes to your rescue. It is the first known training concept to combine alternating high and low pressure with exercise to help target fat in those areas which just won’t budge.

Simply put, it is a low-impact exercise method that is up to three times more effective at burning stubborn fat than traditional exercise and it significantly reduces cellulite. The exercise employs vacuum and compression technology along with healthy nutrition to activate your body’s natural system to burn specific areas of fat and cellulite.

It is a smart, fuss-free way of getting in shape, especially when you are starved for time or are too spent to pump it up at the gym after a hard day’s work.

How does it work?

The Hypoxi training regime is a very comfortable, non-invasive process using air in patented vacuum chambers. It targets areas that accumulate fat the most, like the stomach, hips and thighs. The vacuuming process increases blood circulation in areas of your body where fat is stored. Fatty acids are then removed from these areas during the compression process. This is achieved by indulging in light aerobic exercise that stimulates the metabolism of fat, therefore burning calories more effectively than regular exercise.

Exercise routines take up to 30 minutes in the Hypoxi training method. The vacuum chamber provides a comfortable space for you to work out using air. The key to achieving weight loss lies is the metabolism of fat in affected areas, which is the whole basis of Hypoxi.

There are a number of Hypoxi machines that will help you achieve your desired goals of weight-loss. One of them is the Vacunaut system. This piece of equipment comprises a network of 122 integrated pressure chambers that work on your stomach and waist — the main problem areas for most people. The device is connected to the treadmill and works while you walk for 30 minutes on it.

Another highly effective equipment that Hypoxi boasts of is the Hypoxi-dermology machine. This device is a suit strapped onto your body, containing a network of 400 pressure chambers that work on your stomach, hips, and thighs stimulating blood flow in a massage-like manner. It is usually used before any of the other training devices for about 20 minutes and helps in the reduction of cellulite, purification of your skin and fixing of uneven skin tones.

Some of the other Hypoxi devices are the S120, L250 and Dermology, each designed to treat specific needs and problem areas.

Hypoxi’s weight-loss benefits have led to star-power behind it with celeb clients such as Robbie Williams, Cheryl Cole and Victoria Beckham, who is known to have a Hypoxi-equipped studio in her house.

Trainers advise 30-minutes of this workout for 12 straight days as ideal to help your body tap into stubborn fat stores while you work out and produce results.

HYPOXI versus other weight-loss methods

One of the primary reasons for the success of this concept is its feature of targeting specific fat-ridden areas of our bodies. Also it is low on the intensity meter, which means those who don’t like high-intensity workouts can easily warm up to it.

The superiority of this regime vis-à-vis other weight-loss procedures such as laser and surgeries like liposuction, lies in the fact that Hypoxi is non-invasive and a natural way to get rid of fat.

Who is this type of treatment ideal for?

Hailed as the “lunchtime body shrinker” by Cosmopolitan magazine, Hypoxi sessions are best suited for the following category of people:

1. Fit people looking to target stubborn fat deposits from the tummy, hips, buttocks and thighs
2. For those not wanting to go under the knife, Hypoxi is a perfect alternative to the steep, invasive, painful and time-consuming procedure
3. Active recovery from training sessions and athletic competitions
4. Women with localised fat deposits and cellulite
5. Women and men who suffer from fluid retention
6. People looking for an alternative low-impact exercise that gets results
7. Women and men who do not enjoy the gym but want results
8. New mums looking to shed baby fat
9. People starting a detox programme
10. Men and women wanting a firm skin tone and texture
11. Those wanting to define abs

Conclusion

Unlike a treadmill, elliptical or rowing machine, Hypoxi must be done with proper professional supervision and is not advised to be done in the confines of your home. One must go to an authorised Hypoxi centre with certified coaches to derive optimal results. However, that being said, individuals can purchase machines for home use as they receive proper training by the distributors.

Also, with a minimum of one month required to see positive results, the costs for the same tend to increase over time. Hence one needs to find a professional centre that can offer affordable options for the overall treatment.
Hypoxi offers a reliable, non-invasive, non-intense alternative for losing weight.
