Helpful Hints for Your Vibration Trainer Workout

Vibration training is the latest in strength training. Working out on a vibration plate offers quick and effective strengthening that can be accomplished by anyone. Vibration training is the ideal complement to traditional training it does not replace it. Up to 95% of the body’s muscle groups are worked when training on a vibration plate. It especially stimulates the core muscles and smaller muscles groups. Vibration training is easy to integrate into the normal workout routine. It is for example a great complement to cardio training on a crosstrainer. Vibration training offers a multitude of positive effects, which however can only be achieved if the training is carried out correctly.

Using the Correct Training Technique

• When working out on your vibration plate bear in mind to always keep the joints of the muscle group, which is being worked, slightly bent. Never stand on the plate with the knees completely extended, they should always be slightly bent. When doing push ups or triceps dips your elbows should be bent and your back straight.
• If necessary use the hand grips to avoid loosing your balance.
• Keep the trunk muscles tense during the exercises. Pull in your belly button and tense the buttocks.
• Put your weight on the balls of your feet, this will allow the vibration to reach the highest effectiveness.
• During the exercises “chest hold” and “abdominal bridge” your head should be kept as close as possible to the upright tube.
• You can find more important information in the user manual.
  

Vibration Plate Workout Suggestions

Vibration Training is a special type of strength training. The exercise positions are for the most part static, isometric strength training is being carried out. Therefore, the most important principals of traditional strength training regarding such things as intensity, duration, and frequency also apply here.
Some additional points to consider during vibration training:

• Check your posture while training, make sure the back is kept straight.
• Never extend your joints completely always keep them slightly bent.
• Keep to the recommended exercise periods and do not overdo it.
• Keep to the recommended pauses between exercises, because vibration training often is an unusual form of stress for the body.
• Breathe calmly and evenly
• Increase the intensity slowly. The slogan „more is better“ does not apply here.
• Do not forget to warm up prior to the workout, and add some mild strengthening to your endurance training (e. g. muscle toning before or relaxation after jogging on your treadmill)

Keep in mind to position yourself correctly on the plate and carry out the exercise cleanly to avoid the common mistakes using a vibration plate. Your body and muscles will thank you for it.
