![Starting off its bizarre entry into fitness history is the vibrating belt—and no, it isn’t what you think it is (although, I’m sure someone found a way to use it like one). These machines first entered the burgeoning fitness scene during the 1920s, when Americans were experiencing a period of prosperity, finding themselves with more time to worry about their appearance. The concept behind this machine is simple. Women would place the belt around whatever “problem” area they wanted to get thinner—calf, thigh, or even the butt—and the machine would rapidly shake the belt, jiggling the fat away.Throughout the 1940s women were encouraged to lose weight, which was then called “reducing,” by joining reducing parlors to be hooked up to these strange devices. According to Harper’s Bazaar, the most popular of these reducing parlors was called “Slenderella” and claimed “to slim women in all the right places without the “toil and suffering,” according to Elizabeth Matelski, PhD and author of?Reducing Bodies: Mass Culture and the Female Figure in Postwar America.Yes, fitness culture was incredibly new when these machines first came out, but there are reports of these devices being seen in gyms up until the 1960s. Why anyone ever believed this could possibly work is still a mystery. Other torture, ahem, fitness machines from this era are the "streamliner," which was sold to women as a device to flatten their problem areas.??If you’re feeling so inclined, you can actually purchase one of these bad boys on eBay. A Buzzfeed writer even bought one and documented her experience.?Buyer be warned, these devices are pretty massive, and most online sellers can only arrange for them to be picked up, not shipped.]({"default":"//img-s-www.3ly15.cn.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBV3NrH.img?h=174&w=300&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg&x=231&y=429"} "The Vibrating Belt (and Other Horrors of the 1940s) - AMI")
