    I had to quote the website.

    "Simply put, Vibration training can do something for everybody."

    LMAO!!! I'm sure it does!!!

    I wish it was that feeling. But it really makes you feel like your muscles burn, and not that muscle.:wink:

    I found this website from the Mayo Clinic. Hope it helps.

    I'm confused. Are we still talking about a traditional workout or ways to relieve stress and burn calories at the same time

    I can't find any definite information on it. Most people are skeptical that it even works.

    Thanks for the link. At the place I go to, they do have before and after pics. I guess if you are sticking within your calorie range and making sure you do your cardio as well, it could work? LOL I'm going to do a month trial and see how I get on.

    Hey at least some got a wee smile today!

    45 calories burned for 15 minutes of use. that seems to be the consensus on the internet. also, keep in mind it is not recommened to vibro train/use power plates for more than 25 minutes at a time, nor more than 3 times a week. so i would try something else, unless you get something else out of it. in no way have i intended for this post to sound "dirty".

    Do not let the word "vibration" get in the way of what is really going on. If any vibration did it for you, all truck drivers would be skinny...

    Calories burned ? Anyone saying they know are just guessing. The fact is it is anaerobic so no way of scientifically testing it. Any figure bandied around , be it high or low, is still just a guess.

    .Perceived Exertion is still the gold standard for any workout. So you are best to try it for yourself and matching it up to something anaerobic you have done before ( like weights ) then make a judgement.

    If you don't feel anything, it did nothing. If you are buggered afterward. It was a workout.

    It is only smart to be skeptical. Especially when you see adverts on TV with people just wobbling side to side. That is not Vibration Training. It is Therapy for people with mobility issues. That stuff is aimed directly at lazy people who want to believe no pain = some gain.

    A lot of "top" academics and fitness pros have had to do a backflip on their previous public opinions on this subject. And every one of them had one thing in common. No actual experience. Be careful of people protecting their own lack of comprehension of an idea. They are as bad, if not worse than the dodgy marketers.

    Vibration Training is like any form of exercise. You have to experience it yourself before any info you may have read or been told makes sense.

    Oh yea. And some people hate it even when they do try it.
