Next Level Vibration Training

Even if it doesn’t look that way at first glance, vibration plates are designed for high-intensity workouts. These wonder machines date back to the 1960s, when Russian scientists were looking for a way to prevent muscle loss and osteoporosis in their cosmonauts.

Thanks to its success, vibration plate training has gone from being a secret tip among fitness gurus and elite athletes to a lifestyle workout for celebrities and recreational athletes. But what should you look for in a vibration plate for home workouts?

Before buying, think about which design you want for your vibration plate. You can choose between models with a support column and vibration plates without one. Vibration plates with a support column take up more space and are considerably heavier. However, they are particularly stable and are often suitable for people weighing up to 150 kilograms.

A vibration plate without a support column is generally designed for a maximum weight of 100 kilograms. With a maximum user weight of 120 kg, SPORTSTECH vibration plates offer considerably more leeway. At the same time, their design doesn’t restrict your training and gives you maximum freedom of movement. Vibration plates without a support column are also lightweight and easy to transport. Integrated transport wheels make moving vibration plates even more convenient and, above all, easier on your back.

The different types of vibration plates are just one factor to consider. Just as important are factors such as the type of vibration, the number of speed levels, features like oscillation technology, and Bluetooth connectivity for music during your workout.

Vibration plates differ not only in their basic design, but also in the type of vibration they produce. Vertical, side-alternating and three-dimensional vibrations all activate the muscles in different ways.

• Side-alternating vibration: On vibration plates that produce side-alternating vibrations, the sides of the device rise and lower in quick succession. This creates alternating strain on the muscles and gives you a very natural movement pattern during your exercises.
• Vertical vibration: On vibration plates with vertical vibration, the sometimes enormous surface moves only up and down during your workout. However, this only allows for effective training of muscles aligned along the longitudinal axis.
• 3D vibration: As the name suggests, the vibrations move in three dimensions. Vibration plates such as SPORTSTECH models VP300 and VP400 also feature 3D vibration with 3D Spiral Vibration Technology to activate as many muscles as possible.

Speed levels: The number of speed levels determines how precisely you can adjust your workout intensity and how high the intensity can be.

The more, the better.

Training surface: The larger the training surface, the better. After all, it not only makes your workout safer, but also gives you more room for a wider variety of exercises.

Powerful motors: The more powerful the motors, the stronger the vibration. While some models have just one motor, vibration plates with 3-D vibration are powered by two separate motors.

Touchscreen & controls: A touchscreen makes vibration plates especially easy to use. Even with sweaty hands, you’ll stay in control throughout your workout. Some models also come with a handy remote control for even easier operation, letting you adjust the speed levels and more.

Multimedia: Training is only half as much fun without music. That’s why vibration plates with built-in speakers are so convenient. You can bring your stereo system along to every workout. Models with a multimedia interface usually also have a Bluetooth interface, so you can stream music directly from your smartphone or computer to the speakers. Nothing stands in the way of enjoying your workout to driving beats.

Why vibration training? This is easy to answer, as the list of benefits is long. The main one is the effectiveness of this versatile workout. After all, a session often takes less than 20 minutes - a huge time saver compared to traditional training. But that’s not all.

Coordination: Since the body actively counteracts the vibrations of the exercise machine, training actively improves balance and coordination. Reaction time also improves.

Circulation: Vibrations that penetrate deep into the tissue stimulate not only muscle fibers but also the tiniest blood vessels in the muscles. This stimulates circulation, supplying the tissue with more oxygen and essential nutrients.

Muscle strength: Performing exercises on a vibration plate engages up to 98 percent of all muscle fibers. This is a higher proportion of activated muscle fibers than with many other conventional forms of training. This promotes strength and muscular endurance.

Lymph flow: In addition to stimulating circulation, vibration also activates lymph flow, helping metabolic waste products to be carried away from the tissue effectively.

Connective tissue: Firm connective tissue is a dream for many female athletes. Luckily, vibration training also activates and tones connective tissue.

Bone density: Training on vibration plates can activate bone-forming cells and help strengthen bone tissue. This means the machines can even help prevent osteoporosis.

Body fat percentage: A combination of a balanced diet and exercise can help optimize body fat percentage. Training on the Vibration Plate activates the metabolism, supports muscle growth and, through increased calorie consumption, also makes a significant contribution to optimizing body fat percentage.

Muscle relaxation: Vibration plates are also suitable for post-workout massages or a massage in between workouts. The vibrations penetrate deep into the muscles and can help relieve stubborn tension.

You should never underestimate your workout on the vibration plate. Before things really get going, start with a short warm-up. A few squats, jumping jacks and some light stretching are all you need. Then it’s time to get on the vibration plate.

There, you can make the most of the large training surface and perform almost any fitness exercise. Whether it’s crunches for your abs, push-ups for your chest, shoulders and triceps, or various squat variations for your glutes and thighs, the possibilities are endless. The Power Ropes included with SPORTSTECH vibration plates add even more variety to your workout.

The vibration plate is especially well suited to a full-body circuit workout. For example, do a set of squats, push-ups, crunches and dips one after another. Once you’ve completed a circuit, start again and keep going until your workout time is up

Tip: You can also do classic weight exercises on the vibration plate, such as rows for your back, kettlebell swings or biceps curls for your upper arms. And if you’re looking for an especially intense workout, combine

The included Power Ropes connect the large surface of the vibration plate to your upper body. They enable a comprehensive upper-body workout during vibration training. Holding one in each hand, you can do exercises for your shoulders, arms, and even your back. You can make squats even more challenging with the added resistance of the Power Ropes. For even more inspiration, all SPORTSTECH vibration plates come with a workout poster.

The duration of a workout depends on its intensity and your training experience. Beginners in particular should start with just 5 minutes. Once your body has adjusted to the strain, you can increase the workout duration to 10, 15, and 20 minutes. You should not exceed 20 minutes due to the high level of exertion.

When it comes to workout frequency, less is more here too. Your body needs time to recover after training so your muscles can grow and your connective tissue and metabolism can adapt. You should leave at least 48 hours between workouts targeting the same muscle group. After intense workouts, leave 72 hours.

Tip: The more effort you put in on the vibration plate, the more intense and effective the vibration-based workout will be.
