    They're not in MFP because they do not offer exercise benefits. Don't waste your time on them for exercise. Find a real exercise program that you enjoy and that will actually make you move.

    orly? but "cleaning, light moderate effort" and "food prep" are totally legitimate "exercises" because they're in the MFP database.

    Gotcha. :wink:

    i have one and use it every day,3 times a day for 10 minutes at a time, its the only form of exercise i am using

    If you have 30 minutes a day, why not do something like 30 day shred? You'd be getting more benefits, I'm sure.

    I was going to say log it as "other cardio", but I don't think MFP has that option....so HIIT??? \m/

    Hi i have just started"My Fitness Pal" and have just started doing "VibraTrain" vibration training. Could someone tell me how to put this on as a exercise please as it doesnt come up with anything under vibration training , thanks a lot
    This requires training? I guessed it was entirely intuitive.

    I didn't say those were legit because they are in the database. That is a completely different conversation other people are more than welcome to have. :wink:

    I don't know how the OP was using the machine. All current research leans, at best, towards "maybe" in certain, very controlled situations (and possible physical therapy applications for the elderly/frail population). Just standing on it is probably not giving the OP much of a calorie burn over normal expenditure for the same time period.

    If the OP is doing a series of exercises while on the machine (pushups or such), she should probably just log those exercises and their appropriate burn.:flowerforyou:

    Okay, innuendo aside, is the OP standing on one of those machines that virbrate under your feet and wants to count that as exercise? :laugh:
