Hi I saw a deal for 20 sessions of the vibration plate at a local salon. I was thinking of booking. Has anyone had results with these and how many calories do they burn. I could not find it on the exercise database.
Thanks

What is a vibration plate?!0
-
I'm all for anything that says it "vibrates" heh heh0

Hi I just took a taster session free at a local place I got a great workout. It is about twice the intensity of a normal workout because of muscle fibre activation and can improve stability. I really enjoyed it but I think it would depend on the instructor0

Why not just exercise and eat less? Sounds like a waste of time and money0

You do exercise on the plate you don't just stand there.0

I had never heard of this before. When I first read it I was thinking it was one of these.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: wow, my neighbor had one of those when I was very young and when you put that belt around me it vibrated so fast that it made me itch like a mad person! At least it increased blood flow :drinker:0 -
Mechanical snake oil.
They're a great gimmick, as they promise magic results with hardly any effort.
There's one at my gym and the PTs actively advise people against using it, as it's a waste of the clients' time to do it, in their opinion.0 -
I used this at my gym for 2 months and lost 2 inches but not sure if it was that or exercise, personally I think it was the latter0

I remember when these things were popular. My mom joined a "fitness center" when I was little (like 1968). This contraption and the "roller thing" were extremely popular. (I'll see if I can find a photo of the roller machine.0 -
cheaper and more effective to sit on an old poorly maintained bus for an hour0

These things are back. I saw an infomercial a couple weeks ago for something suspiciously similar to these old things. It just made me laugh.
Oh, I just looked up the Vibration Plate, and that's what I saw in the ad.0 -
Nevermind - How do I embed an image to appear here?0

lets work this thru together. you stand on top of a machine that vibrates. can anyone here think of any reason that would burn a ton of calories? i mean, come up with one thing you can say with a straight face and say GTFO to yourself. I certainly can't. if you can think of a logical reason this would work, spend the money, if not, i hear a moderate calorie deficit combined with moderate exercise has worked well for some people0

Make sure you wear saran wrap around your midsection when you go. It will double the effectiveness and melt off the inches!0

my thought exactly - that vibrating machine. And that roller thing was popular at "Elaine Powers". That was a women's fitness center back in the day. Way back. LOL0

I use a vibration plate machine. It is not a miracle worker, nor is it snake oil. It is a tool that can help you increase the intensity of your workout.
The vibrations makes your muscles do mini contractions while you do the actual move (ex squats/lunges/dumbell work) which simply makes your body work harder. I really like to use mine, but it's not for everyone, and results depend on how much you put into it ( just like everything else in life)
It's kind of like asking if a fitness ball will help you use weight... if all you ever do is sit on it, the ball is not going to do much more than help you engage some stability muscles. But if you perform exercises on the ball, it increases the effectiveness of the moves you do.
Most companies like to claim just standing on their vibration plates will melt away the fat, which isn't true, but it can be used to up the intensity of your workouts.0 -

There is one thing I can think of that you could do on a vibration plate that would burn calories but I'd definitely get a strike for saying..lmao!!!
And this would suck for me. I've not gotten over my vertigo 100% and I've no sense of balance as it is. I could see me tumbling off quite a bit..hahaha0
