New to Vibration?

This is a quick introduction to vibration exercise fitness for beginners.

History of Whole Body Vibration

Vibration Exercise technology is supported by decades of scientific research, originating with the Soviet Space Program, which pioneered the technology now applied in the fields of health and fitness. Russian scientists discovered that cosmonauts that spent extended amounts of time in space experienced significant loss in bone density and muscle tissue due to the lack of gravity. Russian researchers were led to experiment with Vibration Exercise technology, finding that by using this equipment they could not only stopped the loss, but amazingly increase bone density and strengthen muscle tissue.

Using Vibration Exercise technology the Russians were able to set a record of more than 420 days in outer space. Our American astronauts, training on conventional fitness equipment, were forced to return after just 120 days due to bone and muscle degeneration. It wasn’t until after the fall of the Iron Curtain, that Vibration Exercise technology found its way to other countries. Today NASA fully embraces Vibration Exercise technology with much success.

People that use Vibration Exercise Equipment love the sensation and the quick workout results. Workout times are reduced to 10 or 15 minutes, which appeals to busy professionals, mothers of young children and just about anyone who dislikes exercise.

Effects of Vibration Plate Technology

Whole-body vibration therapy is used in the medical field for the treatment and prevention of a variety of illnesses, injuries, and adverse health conditions. Osteoporosis: Millions of Americans, especially women, are at risk of developing this disease, which results from the decalcification of the bones due to hormonal imbalances. The bones become fragile with a tendency to break easily. Vibration Therapy increases bone density, usually reversing the effects of osteoporosis.

No matter what your physical condition, the subconscious stretch reflexes will tighten almost all your muscles at once with vibration exercise. That compares with just 45 per cent of muscle fibers used during conventional training. Traditional training increases muscle strength because your body reacts to the extra resistance created by the weights over and above regular gravity. With Vibration Training your body reacts to acceleration rather than extra weight, which is many times greater than standard training stimuli. And one repeated 30 or 50 times a second. Your body has to adapt even more to overcome this greater load, and so achieve your training targets faster.

Further, the vibrations increase the production of regenerative and repair hormones, improve blood circulation in skin and muscles, strengthen bone tissue, improve lymph drainage and increase the basal metabolic rate. All this results in more strength, more speed, more stamina, rapid recovery of muscles and tissue, increased flexibility, mobility and coordination, anticellulitis, collagen improvement, and fat reduction. The “more is better” principle does not apply to vibration training. You look and feel fitter, but you do not have to train more intensively. The added value of the Vibration Plate is improved training quality and effectiveness, so you can shorten your sessions and recover faster.

Reduces Excess Body Fat
Vibration Fitness works several ways to dissolve excess body fat; it increases metabolism which burns calories more rapidly; increases blood circulation and lymphatic drainage thereby removing toxins faster. Further, Human Growth Hormone secretion increases dramatically (up to 460%) causing excess body fat melts away effortlessly.

Regular exercise with this tool helps to detoxify the body. It also burns out the accumulative fat leaving the user with a thinner waistline. In the intonation of the skin and the bringing back of a natural complexion, relying on the vibration exercise store reduces pathogens underneath the skin and increases collagen formation. This is the pigment for healthier, tighter skin. Its multi dimensional health benefits are innumerable and include that of building a bigger bone capacity. This is from the fact that bones grow better under vibration fitness. The person frequently using the vibration machine generally feels better than before, and has a good metabolism which gives them an energetic feeling. Believe it or not, research has shown that vibration exercise helps in the increment of the human growth hormone by a margin as high as 350 percent.

What is the best Name Brand to buy?

I always answer this question the same way – VibraSlim. They have been the major innovator in the industry, they have always stayed ahead of everyone in education, quality of machines and in price point. VibraSlim has by far the best warranty and more importantly, best customer service before and after the purchase. If you ever have a problem they take care of everything with no hassles for you. They have a LIFETIME MOTOR  WARRANTY and a Money Back Guarantee! That is how much confidence they have in their product and I like that. I wish more companies backed their products like this. You can see why I am so quick with my recommendation.
