The Vibration Platform

febe1 — Mon, 13 Sep 2021 00:20:55 GMT

I finally broke down and got the Vibration Platform. Didn't get the Q's, but got the better one on ShopHQ: it's wider and has magnetic little pea like magnets.

I'm very happy I got it and am loving using it. It has 1-99 strength vibrations, and I'm still on one. I did some research on it and hope I have some of the benefits.

I have one benefit already: you get a better nights sleep.

these apparently are very popular in Europe, they have exercise centers with only these machines to use there for at least 15 years.

I'd be afraid of loosening all my nuts, bolts, plates and screws.....maybe even my implanted teeth...

I've been into whole body vibration for at least 5 yrs now.

The local naturopath has the full size upright models to use on a drop in basis. When we were shutdown I bought the platform on Amazon. Enjoy it tremendously.

I have one on my Amazon wish list I've been considering. I've been reading about the benefits but I haven't decided yet. I'd love to hear more about it though.

My sister got one & had me try it for my bad knee. It was fun, but it was not the thing for my knee. It has been 3 weeks & my knee is still hurting!

Your Post made me laugh. I have had two Cervical Spine fusions and have screws and plates in my neck. I never thought of that until you mentioned it lol

I'm so happy with it @Snowpuppy , and so happy I got it. It's already worth the cost just for the relaxation and sleep. I just love it, thank you, and I can't stay away from it!

@GenXmuse , I'm so happy with this. This will not be set aside after a month. I love it for circulation. And I'm hoping for sttrong bone benefit.

This is a purchase I will not regret. I haven't been as happy with a new fitness and health product in a long while. I love it, and am so glad I got it. It's so well worth the money.

I got the Medic Therapeutics from ShopHQ, and it has a lifetime warranty. It comes with a booklet which shows all different things you can do with it. For instance: you can sit on it, bent over with hands touching floor, for a back relaxxer.

I review it as excellent and wish everyone could enjoy it as much as I am.

I have terrible insomnia also, @DrKelli . I slept beautifully and woke up beautifully, also the first night after using it. That's just one of the small benefits....

I bought the HSN one, Tony Little sells it. It's much wider, it has many levels and it has Bluetooth so I can listen to music or my audio books. I would never have bought the QVC one. I love mine, I use it sitting down but my niece uses it standing with the weights. I sit too much and this gets my muscles pumping. Even seated my abdomen and arm muscles vibrate.

@chrystaltree can you hear it when it's on or does the floor vibrate also?

i have the lifepro one, from amazon. They have videos that show different excercises. It has helped my back and i don't use it as often as is should. The q's model looks good too. I bought mine before they offered theirs.

mine is very quiet.

I never saw Tony's platform, but I'm loving the Medic Therapeutics. I agree on the Q's. I'd kick myself if I had gotten that one. Did Tony's have the Magnetic therapy on his?

I love the improvement you get for balance and posture. The benefits are so many for the vibration machine. I use it every day and can't stay off it.

I use it sitting and standing. It's really good for your core muscles, and I can feel my stomach tightening.

For me, this is money very well spent.

@febe1

@chrystaltree , I have mine on carpeting and there is no floor vibration. It's very surdy and you don't have to worry about it vibrating or moving at all. Mine has little wheels on one side where you can move it.

And it's easy to set up. All you have to do is plug it in and turn it on. And attach the stretch bands if you want to use them. I can pick mine up, weighing maybe 35 or 40 lbs.

@10sluvr , mine is from ShopHQ and has a book with it. To relax your back, you sit on the machine with your knees bent and lean over. Ah, feels so good.

Good news! You also burn calories while just standing on it. Supposedly, 90 calories for l5 minutes. This baby is worth it's weight in gold....

Hate to ask a stupid question, but what benefits are people seeing with vibration platform? As in, what is it supposed to do? I've watched a few of the videos and it seems like some folks turn up the vibration pretty high and I don't think I would enjoy that sensation. I am not trying to lose wgt, but I am not able to resume running for another couple of months. Curious to know if people actually feel/see any impact to muscle tone using these vibration platforms.
