Shaking trainer. Vibroplatform for weight loss: an athletic body without a bit of work? The muscles of the legs and waist are involved

A person has to look for methods that will help keep the body in good shape without effort. This is exactly what the useful biomechanical vibration machine offers, which is created for body shaping and maintaining an athletic physique. What are the benefits and harms of the vibration platform?

This article will help you understand the principle of the simulator, functional features, properties and will reveal negative points.

Description of the vibration platform

The complete set of a useful vibration platform exactly reflects the name and properties. This is a small area that, under the influence of current, begins to vibrate.

The process has useful properties. The amplitude of such vibration can reach 10 mm.

Vibroplatforms can be equipped with a special one, thanks to which you can successfully and profitably (without harm to the body) do fitness.

On the shelves of stores you can see two types of vibration platforms:

A compact model that consists solely of one useful vibrating platform. It can be easily put on a shelf or put in a closet, it does not take up much space, which is convenient for people with a small living space.
A more bulky option, as it has special handrails, a pen stand and even a computer. The model is more convenient for training, it has more diverse functions and even has special programs. A vibroplatform of such a useful configuration is much more expensive and requires more space.

Comment! From which one more benefit- a rhetorical question. Beneficial features devices are the same, and the result depends only on the regularity of training.

Why do you need a vibration platform

Before purchasing a vibration platform, it is necessary to thoroughly understand its purpose in order to understand whether a purchase is necessary and whether the state of health allows its use. Otherwise, exercises can bring not benefit, but harm - such a property of the vibration platform.

When a person stands on a useful vibration platform and starts a specific weight loss program, vibrations begin that spread throughout the body. Vibrations effectively affect all organs. Thanks to them muscle fibers tend to start working more actively and shrink (the same happens when sports loads). A person does not have to do a lot of exhausting exercises, while the result is the same as with a fairly long power load.

If we talk about the structure of cartilage, then it also tends to improve under the influence of vibrations. During training, the state of blood vessels improves: they expand. Thanks to such fluctuations, blood circulation is normalized, and tissues are actively enriched with oxygen, which has a great effect on the state of the cardiovascular system and, of course, benefits for weight loss.

If you combine the positive aspects, you get a picture of effective useful influence on the well-being of a person, and hence his psychological health will improve. The benefits are obvious.

Commercials promise that in a month of the course on a useful vibration platform, you can already lose several tens of kilograms. It is worthwhile to figure out whether such promises are true, and the properties of the apparatus are miraculous.

Benefits of vibrating platform for health

If we talk about the benefits of exposure to vibration, then it really is the cause of the destruction of fat cells. But in order to successfully remove them from the body, a special oxidizing agent is needed, the release of which cannot be achieved in a course on a vibration platform. Therefore, when classes are over, fat cells are successfully restored.

A useful vibration platform can become only a part of a workout, but cannot replace it completely.

Important! If you want to achieve a permanent result, you need to combine the simulator with physical education, then the effect will be fixed.

Advertising says that training should take no more than 10 minutes, but for weight loss this is incredible enough. The duration of classes should increase every day. You can start with 10 minutes and gradually increase the time to start the process of losing weight.

Another important nuance course on the vibration platform: daily exhausting exercises do not bring benefits. In this mode, they only cause harm. Vibrations can cause resonant vibrations in all internal organs person. Too long exercises not without harm affect the body and lead to visual impairment, negatively affect the functioning of the nervous system and blood circulation. There may also be problems with the spine and gastrointestinal tract, metabolism and sleep cycle.

Attention! To get the benefit, it is worth rationally and moderately approaching physical activity on the simulator so as not to cause irreparable harm to health.

Damage to the vibration platform

Even a harmless one can cause significant harm, classes should be approached moderately and reasonably.

Even if a person is completely healthy, there are factors that can negatively affect well-being when exercising on a vibrating machine. For example, if a woman is experiencing painful periods, during this period it is more useful to protect yourself from such activities, as this can be harmful.

The property of vibration, useful for losing weight and bringing the body into tone, can be harmful after recent fractures or surgeries, with open wounds.

Those who have disorders of the vestibular apparatus, a tendency to dizziness should be exercised with extreme caution on the vibration platform.

Contraindications for exercising on a vibration platform

The vibration platform also has contraindications.

The high-risk group also includes:

There are many tips on how to get slim figure. In most cases, you have to exhaust yourself with hard training, malnutrition, or tasteless and expensive food. Recently, a fitness simulator - a vibroplatform - has gained popularity. Manufacturers claim miraculous effects with minimal effort to work with it.

Let's figure out how this device works, whether weight loss is possible, find out how others think about it and what are the contraindications.

Variants of vibration platforms and activities

The essence of the simulator is the frequent vibration of the base on which the person stands. As a result, the muscles reflexively contract and relax repeatedly, which leads to burning excess fat and losing weight. More than 1800 contractions occur every minute of training, shortness of breath and heart palpitations are not caused.

Vibration platform POWER-PLATE-MY7 - for home use

The vibration platform has additional devices that help to influence individual parts of the body for weight loss. By combining them with an increased frequency of vibrations, the effectiveness of training increases.

Vibratory platform control panel

The vibration platform is suitable for those people who value their time, strive for physical health and beauty. To achieve a positive result, the simulator is used 3 times a week for 15 minutes.

Positive and negative factors

Like any type of physical activity, long-term benefits will only be with a certain mode. If you deal with the projectile daily, the work of the body and organs may be disrupted. Therefore, you should carefully consider the instructions. After a certain time of exercise, bones are strengthened and muscle mass is built up.

The body's response to vibration

Although the main message of advertising is to lose weight, the vibration platform machine is focused on something else. It normalizes the condition of the fatty layer, so you can get rid of cellulite. To reach positive effect you will need to accurately perform all the exercises, otherwise you can get injured.

Before and after classes on the vibration platform - a period of 1 month

After working with the simulator, there is a feeling of fatigue, as after any physical activity.

But unlike classic exercises the amount of fatigue is much lower. The only downside is the lack deep breathing during the procedure.

Reviews

Reading reviews on specialized sites and forums, you can see that people are divided into two camps: those who have a positive opinion and those who do not like the device. And this is normal, because when working with any object, you cannot expect approval from all users.
