How It Works Whole body vibration is achieved by being on a platform that vibrates at a high frequency, causing your muscles to contract and stretch to maintain balance without your brain being actively involved. The rapid involuntary reflex intensifies even the simplest exercises. This fast repetition of your muscles reacting along with the controlled low impact to the bones creates the growth and strength. The primary use of a vibration plate requires that you simply stand on the vibration plate in proper position while the vibration plate moves. Duration and frequency are important elements to consider in using a vibration plate. If you're physically fit, vibration exercise sessions should last no more than 15 minutes. If you're just beginning an exercise program, limit your time to 10 minutes per session. Whole body vibration should be used 2-3 times a week to supplement your cardiovascular workouts, with adequate time in-between sessions to recuperate. About Whole Body Vibration Vibration technology is relatively new to the fitness industry but the technology was developed in the 1960s for Russian cosmonauts to prevent muscle atrophy and loss of bone density due to the lack of gravity in space. This proven technology is now used by elite athletes, those rehabilitating from an injury, and those interested in expanding their exercise regiment to take advantage of the health benefits achieved by using whole body vibration.

Customer Reviews

Best thing since sliced gluten free bread.5 I love this vibration trainer. I use it mostly to ease sciatica. I walk into the room where it is set up with one hip riding several inches higher than the other. I walk out 10 minutes later ready to conquer the world. Even my mother in law loves this machine. She cannot exercise at all but will sit on the vibration plate and it relieves her back and hip pain. I am considering buying her one for her birthday. Dangerous?2 Not real sure if this works or not because the second day I used it (following the video with the elderly lady), I ruptured several blood vessels in my knee and thigh. I have been on crutches for the last 5 weeks. I nor my orthopedic dr. can state for sure this was a result of using the machine but if it is not, it was quite a coincidence. I would love to try it again but at this point I am afraid. For the price is good.3 Sorry... I only speak Spanish. Esta muy bueno el aparato por el precio, pero, es muy ruidoso que parece que se va a deshacer. Y, las ligas no son de buena calidad, la segunda vez que lo use se rompio una y la siguiente semana la segunda. Pero esta bueno en general. For the price is good. Very noisy. And the bands are not good.
