How It Works
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.

About Whole Body Vibration
Vibration technology is relatively new to the fitness industry but the technology was developed in the 1960s for Russian cosmonauts to prevent muscle atrophy and loss of bone density due to the lack of gravity in space. This proven technology is now used by elite athletes, those rehabilitating from an injury, and those interested in expanding their exercise regiment to take advantage of the health benefits achieved by using whole body vibration.

I love this vibration trainer. I use it mostly to ease sciatica. I walk into the room where it is set up with one hip riding several inches higher than the other. I walk out 10 minutes later ready to conquer the world. Even my mother in law loves this machine. She cannot exercise at all but will sit on the vibration plate and it relieves her back and hip pain. I am considering buying her one for her birthday.

FIRST OF ALL: WEIGHT LIMIT FOR THIS VIBRATION PLATFORM IS 220 LBS!!!
Shippment on this item wa svery fast. I received the vibration platform within 4 days. Packaging was very good. Nothing was missing , broke or damaged.
In the box was next to the parts of my virbation platform also a DVD and a softcover book. Both with the instruction manual and plenty of excercise suggestions for the platform.
Assembling was really easy, you have to put in and tighten 7 screws (included) and thats basicly it.
It has a timer that runs from 1 to 10 minutes. There are several settings for the speed of the vibrations, from slow (mild) to fast (strong). I am an activ person and used to workout, but not a gymoholic. And I stick so far to the lower levels of speed. The higher ones feel so far too strong for me.
The vibration is better than I expected, it does definetely "shake" you. I was actually surprised for the good quality I got for that little money. The whole machine makes a decent and strong impression.
There are two rolls at the bottom of the "stem", so moving around is easy. The flexbands are sturdy and I like the way they are attached to the platform. They are easy to remove and easy to store, just click them in.
I use a folded baby blanket when I am working on it with bare feets or hands, but I guess, I will get used to do it without after a while.
You can workout on it or do some relaxation, both works great. I feel actually already better after 3 times using it. But I will work on it some more and give than another review on the effectiness. So far I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to a friend,actually did already.

This thing couldn't shake a baby.

Seriously though, this platform is inexpensive, reasonably well made for the price, but in the end you also get what you pay for. It would be great for older folks or people out of shape...but to a person serious about fitness this thing has nothing to offer. It has *NO* settings for intensity (not to be confused with frequency). The vibrations didn't penetrate much above my knees-- which a massager could have done just fine at a fifth the price.

Once again--this platform might be good for the elderly or weak, but not much else.
