Vibration training on a PowerPlate can generate anywhere from 30 to 50 muscle reflexes per second. As a result, vibration training can recruit up to 100% of your muscles’ fibers. This is in contrast to traditional resistance training exercises that engage only 40% to 60% of your muscles’ capacity.

​

Ultimately, vibration plates intensify workouts so that you can get more done in less time during your strength training sessions. 

 

STRENGTHENS AND TONES MUSCLES

Vibration plates cause the muscles to contract and relax at a great rate per second than what they normally would during normal forms of exercises. Therefore, performing dynamic strength training exercises like lunges, squats, tricep dips, and push-ups on a vibrating plate will help build and tone muscles. By sending vibrations to the body at varying degrees of intensity, the body uses up muscle tissue to generate strength. This stimulates muscle growth to meet energy demands, which then causes your muscles to become dense with time. This is why vibration plates are used in rehabilitation therapy to build damaged muscle without the need for weight bearing exercises. 

​

BUILDS STRONGER BONES

It has been found that the vibrations generated by a vibration plate can help increase bone mineral density. Having stronger bones does have its own advantages, especially for people who suffer from certain diseases. For instance, ensuring that the body has adequate bone density helps to stave off osteoporosis. 

​

IMPROVES FLEXIBILITY, BALANCE AND COORDINATION

Vibration plate movements increase your range of motion beyond what can be achieved with static stretching. As you stand or perform dynamic workouts on a vibration plate, this engages your core and hip flexors to stabilize your entire body. Hence, your balance, coordination, and stability improve with time. In addition, the vibrations sent to your body strengthen the muscles that stabilize your joints. This in turn helps to improve flexibility and joint function.

​

RAISES METABOLISM AND BOOSTS FAT BURNING POTENTIAL

Whole body vibration training raises your metabolism just like any other form of exercise. As your muscles use more fuel and get stronger, you’ll have more energy. An increased metabolism also increases your weight loss potential in addition to helping your body burn fat more efficiently.

​

STIMULATES PRODUCTION OF HELPFUL HORMONES

Because whole body vibrations use up muscle tissues, they encourage your body to produce increased levels of human growth hormone (HGH) to repair and regenerate damaged muscles and bone tissue. Your body will also reduce production of cortisol (the hormone responsible for stress) and produce more serotonin (the hormone that induces feelings of happiness and well-being).

​

IMPROVES IMMUNE FUNCTION AND BLOOD CIRCULATION

The high levels at which muscles contract during vibration plate training causes the blood to circulate more around your body while at the same time stimulate the lymph glands. Increased flow of lymph fluid through the body will help to strength your immune function. On the other hand, better blood circulation will ensure that every cell in your body receives adequate oxygen and nutrients.

Other benefits of whole body vibration training include reliving spinal pain, improving posture and reducing cellulite by stimulating collagen production. With all of these benefits, it’s easy to see why so many people are taking the plunge into vibration plate training.
