Enjoy the benefits of whole body vibration using the LifeSpan
VP1000 Vibration Plate. Its dual-motion design encompasses an up/down pivoting
system and a secondary front/back pivot. The result is a multi-dimensional platform
movement which enhances the benefits you'll receive from whole body vibration.
Improved Hormone Levels
There is also research showing that vibration technology
can be overused if used too frequently or for too long during each session.
How it Works
Like many technologies created to solve problems in space, the solutions are
rooted in simplicity and logic. When muscles and bones are used they get stronger.
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. A simple and quick whole
body vibration workout on the LifeSpan VP1000 can be a very effective one.
In addition to standing in an upright position, there
are many other uses of the vibration plate to increase your physical activity
and improve your strength. The images that follow illustrate these uses which
include calf stretch, lunges, squats, pushups, sit-up twist and tricep dips.
