Vibrating machines ...

So far the internet is telling me 100 cals/hr. BUT also that the thingy can be very good for bone density.0

But you just stand there, right? And that burns calories how?
The vibration causes the fat molecules to crash into each other creating internal heat and thus magically burns calories and causes the fat to melt off.
But wait, there's more, for a limited time only you can get two for the price of one...

Passive exercise doesn't burn many calories.......http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/passive-exercise-whole-body-vibration0

No, in a word. Power plates (the bigger brother) can be found in many gyms, they are an alternative form of exercise, but you dont just sit there and have to do some pretty serious exercise whilst using them. They have veen shown to be beneficial in certain circumstances.0

It doesn't and actually can't count calories - the "estimates" the machine is giving you are frankly ludicrous.
Please don't set yourself up for failure by believing them.
The only way to “work muscles” is to lift heavy stuff. Vibrating the crap out of them might be a nice massage, but that’s about it.

There was one in the exercise room at my grandma's apartment building. My sister and I would sneak in to use it because we thought it was funny to try to talk while getting jiggled. My grandma would yell at us "don't break the exercise machine!"0 -

Intense cardio also works muscles. Just in a different way.0 -

Would muscles that are being vibrated (given energy to) by an outside source actually expend any energy in order to burn calories?
It doesn't make any sense to me.0 -
Well I guess time will tell I don't count the calories my legs are still tired from my 1/2 hr session so if it works .... Bonus to me0

This is a good point! OP, knock yourself out, and do report your results.

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.Tamar197712 wrote: »any body use these ive got one but don't know if they make a difference can't see how I burn 300 cals in 15 mins just stood there ?

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.

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