Apparently little happens when training on the vibration plate. But think wrong, because under the surface of a seemingly token training hides an effective method to strengthen your muscles. This has not been unknown for a long time and many fitness studios, rehabilitation centres or even private individuals are convinced of exercises with vibration plates for weight loss or strength training.
How does the vibration plate work?
The vibrations force the body to compensate for the tiny vibrations with numerous, short muscle contractions . However, constantly fighting the stability of the muscles against the vibrations is extremely demanding and requires an extra input of energy. As a result, the vibration plate helps you lose weight.
This effect is enhanced by adopting different positions on the vibration plate and the supportive addition of movements. Especially the latter are made even more difficult by the vibrations and the exercises can thus cause a stronger adaptive reaction of the body. The vibration plate can therefore accelerate weight loss.
In addition, other muscles are addressed, which are not addressed at all or only insufficiently with these exercises in the conventional way. With a vibration plate, the same amount of training time results in more contractions in more places of the body.
In addition, a stabilization of the body should be achieved in this way, which is not possible without a vibration plate. Many parts of the musculature are inaccessible to voluntary tension.

Who is the vibration plate suitable for?
As a form of muscle training, the vibration plate is suitable for various objectives. It can help to strengthen the muscles of the trunk, posture and back to prevent or alleviate pain, as well as to reduce weight. The vibration plate can also be helpful for purely aesthetic purposes.
The vibration plate is not limited to users of a certain age or fitness level. Provided there are no particular health problems that make a workout impossible, the vibration plate is suitable for everyone.
