Dry body in just ten minutes with V12, new from Mormaii –

Disclosure (/)

flew to Florianópolis, in Santa Catarina, to test, first hand, the new fitness equipment from Mormaii: the V12. From afar, it looks like a cross between a skate park and a Viking boat. Up close (or rather, on top of it), the device activates all our muscles – literally, from the feet to the neck – and accelerates our heart rate in a few minutes.

Indicated for functional circuits in gyms and studios, the V12 stands out among other devices because it can work in different angles and directions, thanks to the rotating board that moves like a pendulum and is attached to rubber bands (you can increase resistance! ). To move the platform, you need to activate ankles, knees, hips and arms, which requires a lot of musculature, especially the core (abdomen and lumbar). There are more than 250 possible variations (see the video below): one leg, sideways, plank, sitting, with elastic bands…

In the beginning, it is a little difficult to learn the technique, which requires a lot of body awareness and coordination. But once you get the hang of it, the platform moves more fluidly and you can increase speed and height. In just five minutes, breathing is already as breathless as a shot on the treadmill.

The success of the video on our social media (also below) – there were more than 80,000 views in just one day – indicates that the unusual equipment will be one of the big bets for 2017. In a fun and challenging way, you improve strength and flexibility at the same time time in which it accelerates the metabolism (to continue burning for hours after training), without putting the joints at risk, since it has no impact.
