Workout Training that Help You Use Vibration Machines or Plates Effectively

You can lose weight and burn body fat by merely standing on a vibration machine or plate. However, you would not lose as much as you can by just standing on its platform.

You need to optimize the machine’s ability to help with weight and fat reduction by performing exercises using its platform. This is the only way you get to lose so much weight in a month. Some exercise training that can help in this regard includes:

Push Ups

You can do all varieties of push-ups with your feet right on the vibration machine or plate’s platform. Just for the record, push-ups require that your entire body weight rests on your hands and feet as you push your body up and go low intermittently.

Shoulder Extension

You would need to stand right on the vibration machine or plate’s platform with two dumbbell weights. With your hands by your side, there are two variations of this exercise that you can do. You can bring your wrist upwards to meet your shoulder. The other option is to move your hands sideways, rather than forward.

Thankfully, some of the best kinds of vibration machines or plates come with resistance bands. Some do not come with resistance bands but allow for them to be attached. You could as well use a resistance band, instead of two dumbbells as the same effects will be produced.

The aforementioned two exercises are just a few of the workout training you can perform even as you make good use of the vibration machine or plate. But it is also important that you get the best kind of this fitness equipment. You may want to pay attention to getting something that:

  • Allow for the use of remote features – For example, you should be able to turn on and off the power button remotely
  • Frequency control – Control over the vibrations should be possible. This way, different people can use it at their pace
  • Full accessories – It would help if yours came with helpful accessories like resistance bands
