Vibration Platform Machine FAQ

Answer. There are countless ways to use the machine. For starters, simply stand on the platform with your knees bent 30 degrees for a few minutes. After you become comfortable with this basic workout, you can find other workouts that came with the machine.

Answer. A vibrating plate moves a certain maximum distance on either side of its stationary position. This maximum distance is known as the amplitude and is measured in inches or other similar metrics. Furthermore, the intensity of vibrations depends on this amplitude. So, the bigger the maximum distance the plate travels, the more intense the vibrations.

Answer. As the vibration platform machine vibrates, it forces your muscles to contract and relax dozens of times each second. Now, when muscles contract they produce heat. In fact, 85 percent of the heat produced by the body is due to contracting muscles. Incidentally, the energy needed to produce muscle contraction is obtained from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) that is manufactured in the muscle cells. Meanwhile, the oxidation of metabolic fuels such as carbohydrates and fatty acids in the mitochondria of muscle fibers produces ATP. In summary, contracting muscles consume body fat, which, in turn, helps you lose weight.
