The Benefits Of Working Out On A Vibration Platform

Vibration machines offer some exceptional health benefits in only minutes a day for those who use them regularly as part of a healthy lifestyle program. Originally developed to help improve the condition of astronaut's fitness while on space missions, vibration training is now very much in mainstream use to offer the same range of benefits to home users.

Vibration trainers are based on vibration platforms and the concept behind these are very simple. Vibration platforms vary greatly in the movement direction, speed and intensity of the vibrations, but in essence, you have two main types of vibration: oscillation and linear.

An oscillating vibration platform moves side to side and offer some excellent benefits as these vibrations are great for improving your metabolism and aiding weight loss. These types of machines are most beneficial for improving your overall fitness levels.

A linear vibration platform is where both feet move up and down at the same time and is most suited to those looking to increase strength and jump height'. This type of vibration platform is considered to be the most taxing on the body, since it can feel uncomfortable.

Instead, you should look at a vibration platform which combines both oscillation and linear movements. This means the machines are more powerful and able to aid weight loss, increase flexibility, improve strength, boost metabolism and improve bone density in one go.

Not all machines are created equally though. There is another dimension which needs to be addressed which is the effect of g-forces on the body. Vibration platforms which utilize both linear and oscillation vibrations mean that they tend to have a larger g-force.

A g-force rating is based on gravitational load the amount of weight or inertia placed on the body which creates resistance and forces your muscles to work hard. G forces have a similar action to weight training on the body and are ideal to condition the muscles to give a lean and toned body.

So a machine with a high g-force rating in conjunction with a dual vibration platform means that you get a tough workout, as you literally feel as if you're having a strength training session while standing on the vibration platform. But because the vibration platform is a dual type, you get all the additional benefits such as weight loss and a boost in your metabolism as well. Constriction
