The vibration plate may seem refreshingly different to you at first glance. But as soon as you set foot on the plate, you realize that it can be hard as nails.
To make sure you not only feel the effect of the vibration plate, but also understand it, we'll explain the principle behind the vibrations.
You against the vibration plate - this is how your muscles work with and against the plate
The effect of a vibration plate can be compared to getting into a rowing boat. Again, you quickly notice your feet struggling for balance and your muscles stiffening. Your body is working against the vibrations of the boat to keep its balance and that is exhausting.
It's no different on the vibration plate, because the shaking of the surface is purposeful work against your body. And of course your legs can't let that sit on them, but thighs and joints are specifically looking for stability and they find it in muscle work.
The most common mistakes when training with vibration plates
The versatile effect of the vibration plate
Even though you feel a session on the vibration plate (especially the first one) immediately in your legs, the effect of a vibration plate reaches much deeper into your body. Especially the stabilizing muscles around the spine have to work with every vibration. This is especially good for the prevention of herniated discs, rehabilitation or the targeted prevention of back pain.
This means that more muscles are active when exercising on a vibration plate than when exercising on a solid surface. However, it is of course not enough to just stand on the vibration plate - you can't expect results that way.
The plate is rather a specific addition to a certain training program, only in this way you can use the full efficiency and effect of the vibration plate. Also important is the technical execution of the individual exercises, there is a lot of room for error here. Especially beginners should avoid the plate at first, the muscles first need a certain basic stability to really efficiently keep up with the vibrations.
