In today's age of fast food, automation, and convenience, as a society we are becoming increasingly inactive and overweight. The team at Hypervibe Whole Body Vibration, are working to promote a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise and movement. Hypervibe uses Whole Body Vibration Technology, and is designed for people who want to make exercise a part of their lifestyle, but may be limited by their time, equipment or ability to do so using conventional exercise. Others may want use the machine to compliment their regular exercise routine, and/or to accelerate and maximize results.
The fundamental principle of Whole Body Vibration training is to create a response from the mechanical movement of a vibrating platform. The platform creates vibration by pivoting from a centre tilting axis. When a user places their weight on the platform, their own body weight acts as resistance to the forces caused by the vibrating platform. This action induces voluntary muscle contractions, but also induces involuntary muscle contractions such as those within the digestive system. When training on a vibrating platform using frequencies from 22 up to 28Hz, over 80% of muscle fibers may be contracted, in comparison using conventional weight training that number is closer to 50%. When we train in the gym using conventional training, we do this by contracting our muscles and relaxing them over and over again with some sort of load for resistance. That load can be created with weights, hydraulic machines or by simply using your own body weight to create a load e.g. push up's. When using the HyperVibe vibrating platform you can induce muscle contractions up to 28 times per second.

This is why a full workout on a vibration platform can be achieved in a very short period of time, and also one reason why you should not exceed the recommended vibration trainng workout durations. Of course, HyperVibe machines are not only designed for working out, but also have numerous therapeutic uses also. At low speeds, the gentle rocking action of the platform improves your balance and stability. Rather than induce involuntary muscle reflexes, at lower speeds a user is forced to user their voluntary muscles to counter act the rocking action of the platform. At speeds slightly higher, the soothing vibrations can be excellent for massage, circulation and injury rehabilitation. Because of the numerous applications and benefits of vibration training and the Hypervibe Whole Body Vibration machine, it makes an invaluable addition to your home gym, studio or practice, which cannot be matched by conventional training apparatus.
