Vibration plate machines are the new kids in the street when considering domestic exercise. They have been stashed at NASA and in professional sports gyms for quite a while and have been the subject of a lot of research. But now, they have now become much more fashionable as more and more people recognise the additional benefits you may get.

The key reasons they are rising in popularity are IMHO, a lower cost and faster benefits from your exercise endeavours.

Where previously vibration plate machines were only affordable to the few, now they have come down in cost and can be bought from as low as $150 for a very basic model. While these have some benefits, you really need to spend twice that to have any significant benefit. This is because a few of the really cheap ones just are not strong enough. You may of course pay much more if you absolutely need the ?bells and whistles? or are a professional sportsman who may really benefit more, but for most, a middle range machine will probably be just fine.

Now of course, the primary feature of the machines is you get a real bonus when it comes to your time and effort. This is because for each ten minutes exercise you perform on the plates, your body thinks it has had sixty minutes! No brainer really.

Now, not everybody may use them unfortunately. For instance, for those who have recently had surgery, have a pacemaker fitted, are pregnant etc., then it?s good judgment to not use them. But you will find benefits for other conditions. In particular, research has shown that frequent use of vibration plate machines can improve bone density considerably, when assessed against control groups who did not use this form of exercise. This of course has an obvious benefit for women who may be prone to osteoporosis. Even if you find it difficult to exercise normally due to arthritis perhaps, this is an impact free method of exercise. Even though you just stand on the equipment on a low setting, your muscles will be exercised. Other studies have also shown an increase in weight reduction when included in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet. And of course, in the sports world they?ve been used for years to aid and shorten rehabilitation following some injuries.

The benefits occur because basically, your brain thinks it is standing on an unstable surface and this triggers the muscles to work to compensate. Add this to the any exercises you might perform on the plates (e.g. leg squats and knee flexes) and you have multiple benefits.

Vibration plate machines are really worth more exploration, but even though this is not an impact exercise and you will not shaken so hard you?ll fall off? if you know you are fit and healthy, please consult your medical professional to make sure you are able to benefit from them.
