Many people think that vibration exercise equipment is a new thing, with the invention of the power plate and such.
But, if you think back to those interesting vibrating belts that ladies used to put around their butts in the hope of vibrating the fat away, you will see that this concept has in fact been around for many, many years.
The difference is that with scientific research and various studies the concept of vibration exercise equipment has been developed, refined and much improved.
One of the most important things that experts have identified and that the public must learn is that it is impossible to just stand there while any machine vibrates your fat away.
This is highlighted when using the newly popular Power Plate machines.
These show that by doing various exercises and actually engaging your muscles whilst at the same time using vibrations, you are doing twice the workout.
For example, by doing a simple exercise like a squat, whilst standing on a vibrating plate, you are engaging and working the muscles and at the same time asking them to do extra work due to the involuntary contractions caused by the vibrations.
Vibrating plates also cause a sense of unbalance, you will therefore need to contract your abs and keep your core tight to stabilize yourself.
This is making you work harder than you would just standing on the floor.
Vibration machines force your muscles to think in a whole different way and force them to react to the vibrations, making them work.
Depending on the type of machine, you can stand, sit or lye on the platform, targeting the exercise and vibrations to a specific muscle group.
Not only do the vibrations cause your muscles to contract but they also make your tendons strength and increase blood and oxygen flow through the body.
The important thing to remember is that whilst these new and improved machines certainly will help you reach your goal they should not be your sole resource.
As with any machine or trend, they need to be combined with a healthy diet and exercise routine.
It is also essential to get expert advice when you first start using these machines.
Injuries can occur if you use them incorrectly or misuse them.
Another fantastic use for these machines is in rehabilitation situations, helping people regain use of their muscles after accidents or disease.
Studies have shown positive feedback in this area.
