Vibration platforms: what, how, and why?

Many people want to have a beautifully toned body without worrying about proper nutrition and going to the gym. It is on this desire that experienced advertisers and creators of various miracle simulators rely. The consumer’s task is to understand why such simulators are still needed, choose them according to their needs, and use a full body vibration machine to achieve the best effect.

The vibration platform is one of the latest innovations in exercise equipment, and it is pretty expensive. But the manufacturers promise a great effect from using this device, justifying all the buyer’s costs.

To begin with, let’s determine what a body vibration machine is and what it is needed for. And then, we will try to understand how to choose the right simulator to feel all its benefits.

Design and purpose of vibration platforms.

The vibration platform is the next generation of vibration massagers, and its appearance resembles a modernized vibration massager accordingly. The device’s design is a base (platform) on which a stand is usually located, with or without handrails. There are also models without a rack, consisting of only one platform.

A set of physical exercises is usually performed on the platform, which is either indicated in a separate brochure attached to the simulator or must be developed independently or with the help of a trainer. On vibration platforms, you can train in any position: lying, sitting, standing. Depending on the position of the body, different muscle groups are trained.

For those who want to achieve the maximum effect due to the “miracle” sports unit and lose a record number of kilograms, I would like to say right away that this sports simulator is most effective in combination with the complex of physical exercises you perform, as a vibrating exercise board.

We remind you that both the complexity of the most suitable exercises for you and the very possibility of using this device must be agreed upon with your doctor!

Vibration platforms are divided into horizontal and vertical.

Horizontal platforms have a simultaneous effect on the entire body, but they are rarely sold, and their prices are very high.

Vertical vibration platforms are much more common in stores. In them, the vibration is transmitted only to the legs, and, it would seem, the rest of the body is not involved. However, it is not so simple: through the stimulation of reflexogenic points on the feet, contact occurs with all other organs and tissues in the body.

There are also vibration platforms of narrowly directed action, which, instead, can be attributed to vibration massagers: they have a positive effect on the skin through vibration massage. Still, they are fragile enough to endure even performing exercises on them.

Before buying a vibro plate exerciser, it is still advisable to read the instructions. If you have any contraindications listed in it, it is better to slow down with the purchase. For example, migraines, diabetes, tumors, thrombosis, epilepsy, retinal dysfunction, osteoporosis, kidney stones, or gallbladder – you definitely can not train on a vibration platform with these diseases. Also, do not buy a simulator if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a birth control device installed.

If there are no contraindications, the high price does not stop you and you still decided to purchase this pleasure, then it is better to buy vibration platforms from well-known manufacturers.
