Short answer is.....you don't. It's all marketing hype.....having said that they can have a legitimate place in physiotherapy.

Over exaggerated claims by seller. You can get STRONGER by using them with compound exercises according to a study done awhile back, but the vibroplate they used was the size of a like a small dining room table and not the ones that are no larger than a 18x18 plate.

Yeah these things have come back for some reason, although they're slightly different that the ones your grandparents owned. A friend of mine recently spent $300+ on one. I had a really hard time not smacking her upside the head with it because that's really all it's good for.

So far the internet is telling me 100 cals/hr. BUT also that the thingy can be very good for bone density.

We have them here at our Wellness center (2 of them) and yes because of a big senior membership, we use them to improve bone density for those who are still having problems with doing physical exercise.
