    Not sure the correct name but if it's what I am picturing not sure how it would be considered an exercise that burns calories. It's more for stretching, correct? At least if it's the vibration machine that I have used and seen at the gym.

    its probably not there because it isn't really exercise.......

    Just look for the same exercises without the plate and log that.

    Nope lol but would love one like that :) I do not use it as such for exercise but do hop on it every other day for 10 mins so thought i should be adding it. It was alot cheaper than people may think as well I am a good bargain hunter but thanks

    I had a cheap one at home for revalidation purposes after a leg surgery. It didn't really help because it's quite weak.

    At the gym there is a professional one. It can vibrate your tooth fillings out. I use it as port of the cooling down to shake the leg muscles loose and to train a bit of balance too. It helps with recovery, but no one uses it to get a workout.

    Not really exercise, but oddly enough they are quite popular among the female population.

    We have over at home. It was recommended for my wife's grandmother to treat diabetic neuropathy.

    I use it now when my legs are sore as hell after leg day. It works ok, but I'd hardly call it exercise.
