Why You Need Vibration Plate Exercises
OK, so you're standing in front of your lovely new vibro plates and wondering what vibration plate exercises actually are.
Did you think you could just stand and wobble everything off? Well, maybe, but it would take longer to get the desired effects and be much less targeted than you probably need.
Basically, you need to work with the machine rather than dominate it.
Vibration plate exercises are all about condensing the time you would normally require to achieve the same level of results if exercising without using vibro plates.
But when you first get your machine out of the box, it's a bit scary! The manual (if there is one) doesn't give you a lot of help other than to tell you how to operate the machine and hopefully, some really essential safety and health precautions that you should adhere to.
Don't ever be tempted to just "go for it" for hours on end, as you just won't get the effects you are after and could do yourself some real damage in the process.
Plate exercises are all about starting off gently and spending a just a few short minutes on the vibro plates before you let your body take a rest.
Make yourself aware of just what is happening to your body.
Basically, you are trying to get your muscles to react to a greater extent than normal by fooling the brain into thinking you are on an unstable surface.
The brain reacts to this by triggering the muscles to compensate.
As the vibro plates move quickly, the muscles are almost in a permanent state of being triggered.
It is this rapid effect that tones up your muscles quickly.
The exercises you need will depend on your own requirements and desires.
If you were fortunate enough to have received a DVD from the manufacturer, this will certainly help you learn how to do the exercises properly.
That is, provided you have a means to watch it in the same location as your vibro plates! Books and manuals are tricky, as you need somewhere not only to prop them up, but to keep them open as well - hopefully, where you can still read them! Another good option is to find a vibration plate exercise chart.
These are not available everywhere and IMHO, a little pricey for what is essentially a laminated poster.
That said, they are extremely useful and can be placed on the wall just where you need it making it easy to follow.
There are two available, one showing a beginners vibration plate exercise programme and the other a more advanced routine as you progress.
Vibro plates have given a tremendous boost to sportsman and those with certain health conditions as well as aiding in weight loss (you still need to eat healthily though).
There are many studies that support their use, including well publicised research from NASA.
As they are becoming more readily available to the retail market as advances in technology reduce costs, there is now no excuse in not starting your vibration plate exercises as soon as you can.
