Vibration Trainers
Vibration Trainers also known as 'Power Plates', work on the principle of vibrations being transferred to muscles in the body, which cause them to contract in a reflex action. Depending on the selected frequency, a vibration trainer can result in muscles quickly contracting 25 to 50 times per second. Different parts of the body are put in contact with the platform in various exercise positions ranging from squats, lunges and push-ups to abdominal crunches, tricep dips or bicep curls. A pose is held for between 30 and 60 seconds at a time activating multiple muscle groups simultaneously to stretch, tone and strengthen. Exercises can be performed standing, sitting or lying down and the equivalent of 60 minutes of conventional strenuous exercise can be achieved in just 20 minutes and training sessions need to be performed no more than 3 to 4 times per week. This is due to exercise causing the body to tire then rest allowing the body to recover. By repeating this process the body adjusts to the level of effort, resulting in an increase in physical fitness. Vibration Plates are a multi-purpose apparatus, which can be used in many different ways, such as: • For strength, agility and power by increasing muscle growth • For treating injuries and injury prevention • Improve blood flow and treat peripheral circulation disorders • In the treatment of muscle decrease and muscle weakness • For the treatment of disorders such as MS, osteoporosis, various muscle and nervous disorders • For general relaxation and increased flexibility in the neck and shoulders • Vibration Trainers help to fight cellulite or fluid retention If interested in Vibration Training you may also wish to find out more about Cardio Exercise with our simple to read fitness guide as a vibration trainer by itself will not boost your stamina.

Vibration Trainer Suggestions
The best way to start training is by increasing the frequency of the trainer slowly. Beginners are advised to start with around nine minutes of the resistance programme, followed by nine minutes of the stretch, massage and relaxation programme, both on the lower frequency and amplitude settings. It is essential to adopt a position that puts tension on the muscles in order to develop strength, power, muscle tone and definition. E.G. if you're doing the squat position, have your knees bent and lean from the hips, as if you are about to sit down on a chair. It is usually enough to start with no more than 30 to 60 seconds of each exercise. This will reduce the duration of the workout, which is a real bonus for people who are short on time but want results. Try to choose a combination of exercises which use more than one muscle group and exercises that use only one. You will get a better training response, as well as burning more calories. It is important to keep your knees slightly bent to avoid the jarring through the joints you may recieve from vibration training as it stimulates the contraction of the muscle spindles. Your muscles will be contracting 30 to 50 times more quickly, thereby generating a lot of internal heat, so even if you don't feel thirsty, always keep hydrated and drink water while you're working out.
