In today's fast-paced world, achieving overall well-being and relaxation has become a paramount concern. People are constantly searching for effective methods to de-stress, rejuvenate, and maintain their physical and mental health. One such wellness solution that is gaining immense popularity is chromatherapy in saunas, and Vitality4Life.com.au offers a remarkable range of these therapeutic saunas that can truly transform your health and well-being.

Chromatherapy and Its Benefits

Chromatherapy, also known as color therapy, is an ancient holistic healing technique that harnesses the power of colors to balance and harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. When combined with the soothing environment of a sauna, the benefits are truly remarkable.

1. Stress Reduction

In today's hectic lifestyle, stress is an ever-present adversary. Chromatherapy saunas, available at Vitality4Life, use a spectrum of colors that are specifically designed to relax the mind and reduce stress. The calming blue and green hues promote a sense of tranquility, helping you unwind after a long day.

2. Mood Enhancement

The colors used in chromatherapy have a profound impact on our mood. Sauna sessions enhanced with color therapy can elevate your mood and combat feelings of anxiety or depression. Vibrant colors like yellow and orange can stimulate happiness and positivity, making you feel more vibrant and alive.

3. Pain Relief and Healing

Many individuals seek saunas for their potential health benefits. Chromatherapy saunas from Vitality4Life.com.au take this experience to the next level by incorporating colors that aid in pain relief and healing. Red and infrared light, for instance, can penetrate deep into tissues, providing relief

Are you looking to elevate your fitness routine and achieve a stronger, more flexible body? Look no further than the Pilates reformer. Originally developed by Joseph Pilates, this versatile fitness equipment has gained popularity for its ability to provide a low-impact, full-body workout that can be adapted to all fitness levels. If you're considering investing in your health and well-being, here are five compelling reasons why you should buy a Pilates reformer for home use:

1. Comprehensive Full-Body Workout: The Pilates reformer offers a comprehensive workout that targets every muscle group in your body. Unlike traditional exercise methods that often isolate specific muscles, the reformer exercises engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously, promoting balance, strength, and coordination. The adjustable resistance levels and various exercise options on the reformer allow you to customize your routine to match your fitness level and goals.
   
   
2. Low-Impact Exercise: One of the key advantages of using a Pilates reformer is that it provides a low-impact exercise option. The equipment's gliding carriage and adjustable springs minimize stress on your joints, making it an ideal choice for individuals with joint issues, back pain, or those recovering from injuries. Despite being gentle on the body, Pilates reformer workouts are highly effective in building strength, flexibility, and endurance.
   
   
3. Improved Flexibility and Posture: Pilates places a strong emphasis on improving flexibility and posture, and the reformer is no exception. The smooth gliding motion of the carriage helps increase your range of motion and elongates the muscles, promoting flexibility and preventing stiffness. The exercises also focus

Children's rehabilitation with pilates

Pilates is a great exercise for children that can help them improve their strength, flexibility, and balance. But did you know that Pilates can also be used for rehabilitation? One of the best tools for children's rehabilitation is the Pilates reformer. In this blog post, we'll talk about how the Pilates reformer can be used for children's rehabilitation. The Pilates reformer is a piece of equipment that looks like a bed with a sliding carriage and ropes or straps for resistance. It is an excellent tool for children's rehabilitation because it can be adjusted to accommodate different levels of strength and flexibility. The reformer is used to improve core strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, which are all essential components of rehabilitation. Here are some ways the Pilates reformer can be used for children's rehabilitation.

Strengthening the Core

The core muscles are the muscles that support the spine and help maintain good posture. Children who have back pain or spinal injuries can benefit greatly from exercises that strengthen the core muscles. The Pilates reformer can be used to perform exercises that target the core muscles and improve posture. Exercises like the Hundred, Leg Circles, and Planks can be done on the reformer to strengthen the core muscles.

Improving Flexibility

Children who have been injured may experience tight muscles that can hinder their recovery. Stretching exercises on the Pilates reformer can help to improve flexibility and reduce muscle tightness. Exercises like the Mermaid, Long Stretch, and Spine Stretch can be done on

Weight loss is the number one goal for a lot of our customers. All of the treadmills will achieve this goal so it is dependent on a few things such as your overall fitness level and ability.

For some, just being able to walk comfortably to get their daily exercise is enough. Our range of walking treadmills that reach speeds from 6km to 8km per hour are ideal. If you require a handrail to feel safe during your work out we would recommend our WS 570, Ws470 or WS770.

For those that want to both walk and run we have treadmills that reach up to 12km per hour. This way your treadmill can help you all the way on your fitness journey from walking to running as you gain greater fitness levels.

Instead of just wishing good vibes to a loved one at Christmas how about giving them a Vibroslim vibration machine.

A personal Vibration machine is the perfect way to gift the feel good vibes to people we love. We all know how hard it is to remain active around Christmas and we are really busy too. Choosing a personal fitness machine for your family member or friend as a Christmas gift can help them to stay fit and keep the weight down by jiggling all the way through Christmas.

The good thing about having personal exercise equipment at home is the opportunity to just jump on any time you have a moment. Exercising up to 30 minutes a day has huge health benefits. Taking a few minutes here and there between all the things we need to get done can balance out our holiday food challenges.

Vibration machines are gentle on joints and are a low-impact form of training, meaning VibroSlim machines are suitable for anyone, including Grandma, through to conditioned athletes who are able to adjust the settings and add extensive exercises and accessories to get a more intense workout.

Help your family or friends to jiggle their way to a healthier happier them. Even at Christmas.

The Vitality4Life WalkSlim walking treadmill is a compact, foldable motorised treadmill featuring a built-in calorie counter so you can track your results, an LED touchscreen display and a remote control.

Today there is no doubt that stress is on the rise. Our bodies and minds are pushed to the limit with busy schedules, family life, work, social activities, running around, not to mention the impact of being online and needing to keep up with our profiles there as well. It's hard getting back into exercise.

Exercise is of course an excellent way to increase our stamina and fitness and help reduce stress for our body and mind. What I often see come up today though, is the impact of different types of exercise on our bodies.

You see, each form of exercise has its own benefits and any exercise is better than none! So certainly getting back into exercise and moving in one way or another, your health depends on it.

 

There are situations though where the higher impact types of movement may not be suitable for you. Let’s say you have had an injury, an illness, a bad knee or hip, or a long break from exercise. Your walking may have even been impaired, so even getting out for this simple activity could be difficult or impossible. These are just some of the factors which could deter you from any getting back into exercise at all, let alone doing fast, high impact jumping and loaded movements.

Easy exercise at home after baby or any break from exercise..

After I had my first baby it was super tricky getting back into exercise. In fact, I couldn’t walk properly for three months, had abdominal separation and back pain.

I wanted to walk, but even going up the driveway was hard for so long!

Not only that, but the time I used to have for exercise was reduced by at least half or more. Realistically, getting in 10 minutes was a huge achievement of just some light bodyweight exercises.

Then it dawned on me.

Why was I worrying about this and stressing about getting out with the baby all the time? I love exercising at home at my own convenience, so I got a Vitality4life WalkSlim Home Treadmill.

Now, as a personal trainer who needed to get back into exercise myself I knew I needed to get my cardio up again to shed a few kilos, get fitter and build up my body again without any heavy loads or impact.

Running was out of the question due to a back injury and weakened pelvic floor, plus I much preferred walking anyway.

As soon as I got this treadmill I loved it.

Why? Because it was simple to set up and use to exercise at home.

Yep, n

Where did Pilates all begin?

Joseph Hubertus Pilates was born in Germany in 1883. As a child, Joe suffered many ailments including asthma so he turned to exercise and athletics to help. He studied various exercise routines and was transfixed with the idea of the classical Greek ideal of man with a balanced mind, body and spirit. Hence Pilates was born.

In 1912 Joe went to the U.K working as a defense instructor at Scotland Yard but at the outbreak of World War I he was interned as an “enemy alien”. Rather than wallow he refined his ideas by training other internees by rigging springs to hospital beds to enable patients to exercise against resistance. These contraptions were the innovation behind later equipment designs. 

In 1926 Joe headed to America meeting his wife Clara along the way. When they arrived they opened a studio near the New York ballet. This lead to many dancers and other athletes becoming his clients. Some of those clients then went on to open their own studios throughout the U.S.

Then Hollywood came calling and where the stars go the media follows. The pilates business boomed and entered the fitness mainstream. These days in Australia over 2.9% of the adult population participate in Pilates pra

If you are anything like me when I hear that I have to exercise only "30 minutes a day' it makes me want to go and lie down. Half an hour can sometimes seem like an eternity especially when you are working out. So if I am going to do it I want to do it right and get the most out of my walking treadmill. I am sure you would too.

These tips may seem obvious to some but they weren't to me so I thought I would share them with other like minded souls. Good luck...

Good walking posture

Apparently, this is really important. No looking down at your phone the whole time and you must let go of the walking treadmill handrails, sorry. If you have to be entertained whilst walking you will have to prop up your device so that you are looking straight ahead otherwise it can lead to back and neck pain. We want to breathe deep down into our bellies as we walk and run and bad posture will hinder that.

When you hang on to the handrails the whole time it reduces the effort you are putting in and therefore the amount of calories you might be trying to lose. Your feet and legs need to be carrying your weight to gain more from your workout.

So, before you hop on the treadmill give yourself a quick check over, roll your shoulders a few times, pull in your tummy a bit and tuck in your bum whilst tilting

One small step with your WalkSlim walking treadmill..

... a giant leap for your health. Even the politicians know this. Ex Prime Minister John Howard wasn't using a walking treadmill fifteen years ago but everyone of a certain age remembers his early morning walks in a funny tracksuit.  He started a national campaign urging Australians to take the time to walk at least 30 minutes a day. This year Malcolm Turnbull helped launch the 'One Million Steps' Campaign. Why is walking so important?

Mr Howard found out that across Australia, 1,400 deaths from heart disease and diabetes could be prevented and a total or $76 million in measurable health care costs could be saved each year if just 10% of Australian adults walked more regularly. So we do need to get walking as even now one person dies every twelve minutes in Australia from heart related diseases.

Then, as now, time is an issue so having your own small walking treadmill at home could be the answer. It's sitting right there waiting for when you have a minute to jump on and do a treadmill walking workout. It's light, it's portable, it's foldable and can fit easily under your bed, in a small room or office stored against the wall or in a cupboard.

Can't walk to work? Walk at work. Research shows that walking boosts creativity by up to 60 percent. Walk whilst watching T.V
