Vibration plate fitness machines have many benefits and work by producing fast and controlled vibrations which cause the body's muscles to rapidly contract and release. The muscles do this involuntarily on a vibration plate fitness machine which means a larger proportion of the muscle fibres are used.

The accuracy of this vibration means the contractions and releases are equal and safer. This rapid contraction and release burns more calories in a shorter space of time, develops the core muscle strength and improves the blood circulation. It also helps strengthen the bones as bone development is governed by the shape of the muscle around it and the muscle activity that is generated increases the diameter of the bones and their strength.

As well as increasing fitness, the subtlety of the vibrations make these fitness machines a key element in rehabilitation therapy. They can be used to strengthen and build up damaged muscles by improving the core strength without the need for weight bearing exercise. This makes them suitable for users with back problems and sports injuries who are looking to increase their muscle strength without putting unnecessary strain on rehabilitating injuries.

Through the different programs vibration fitness machines offer, the benefits are suitable for the most elite athlete, through the fitness enthusiast, to the occasional user. The effects they have in toning the muscle and developing core strength are suitable for all regardless of fitness level.

With the short workouts recommended these machines benefit people who find long periods of activity difficult, such as overweight people, people with breathing trouble and people who find extensive weight training difficult. Combined with a suitable cardiovascular program they are ideal in increasing weight loss, suppleness and all round well-being.

You can perform static or dynamic movements including standing, sitting, kneeling, lying, and placing your hands on it and almost any exercise performed during a typical gym workout can be done on vibration platform thus creating an all over body fitness workout.
