Ahh these things... I know first hand they make some difference. I was mooching about one at the gym and thought it was some BS way of making the fat knackers feel better about doing light exercise, just on a vibrating plate until I had a go at doing squats without any extra weight; thighs felt like they were on fire halfway through the second set... Something about forcing extra contractions to compensate for the movements created by the vibrations.

I was in a hotel just outside Paris in the summer and the gym they had was very basic but had one of these contraptions and like you (Scab) thought it was a thing for the fatties.

After doing the excercises daily I was well impressed it gave a full body workout when completing the circuit and I was f**ked afterwards.

all i will say is that women worldwide have sworn by a bit of vibration excercise for years.... it had to be said

Thanks for not disappointing me

Annie,
Please refrain from talking like that, these things will not fit in a handbag. They are good to watch people on if they have not used one before.

How does it actually work? I am curious now

How does it work?

I'm not physiologist but has I understand

Bone density:
The density is easy: shakes the body, the body increases calcium in the bone, the bones get stronger

Lymphatics:
Improves this secondary circulatory system you have, which feeds your lymph glands with the lymph fluid. This fluid then returns into the general blood circulation.

Therefore: Improves lymphatic drainage and general circulation.

Neuromuscular bundles:
The theory, although it is a theory, is that it fools the body by stressing these receptors into thinking your doing more exercise than you really are, more bang for your buck.

Increase muscle strength quads, arms and back.

Squats on the plate better that just standing.
Press ups on the plat better than just holding an arm position.

Females
It has been show to have a very specific beneficial effect on a females pelvic wall, which I can't express on this chauvinistic site, other that to say in those little stressful moments it stops those little accidents.

Hope this helps a little

So it does a lot more that just sit in a handbag and frighten people when it goes through the x-ray

Thank you never heard of this before and sounds a very interesting system
