Hilarious. Not exercise. Go take a mile walk.

I presume, I don't know for a fact, that it is similar to those balance boards which look so easy until you have to do it for two or three mins. I am in PT for post knee surgery recovery and that thing makes my entire upper leg "burn" into my hip flexors. So, I assume something happens on this board. Not everyone can run or jog or even crawl/get down on the floor for some of those pieces of workout equipment. To each their own.

@ellaphant It reminds me of these which were declared useless.

I have one and (for me) it actually works very well! So far, so good!

I used a vibration platform in PT too, it makes you use all your muscles to keep your balance...always looked forward to my time on it & felt great afterwards. Not hilarious...needed by many & they're grateful for it.

@Kachina624 LOL! As a young kid and early teen there were a couple of Vic Tanney "gyms" in our area and it was hilarious to see people using these machines in the windows!

It's actually not that hilarious given all the health benefits of it. I'm glad that have affordable at home models because it's been very helpful with increasing bone mass, muscle and pain reduction for me

I was not familiar enough with the vibration platform to comment so off to Google I went. It sure isn't a joke and has valuable applications. Nothing like the old fashion stuff. I would have to do a lot more research, but with a quick read it's very interesting. Glad it is helping some of our posters.

The pictures of those people in the "belt machines" have nothing to do with this vibrator platform. It has been very popular in Europe for years, and in Paris there are a number of these around the city just like fitness centers. And they have been there for years and years and years. Apparently they work and are considered a very good workout..

It moves the fat around

When I was getting PT for a knee replacement, my physical therapist used it for some balance exercises. If it is being advertised for weight loss, that seems an unlikely outcome. But it can be very helpful for regaining balance and muscle training, if used correctly.

many years ago while researching osteoporosis, I ran across and article that reported that the vibration platforms had been used on the space station. The motion simulates muscle activity and thus preserves bone loss. It seems that bone loss was common among those who spent months in weightless conditions as on the space station.

It's a wonderful product, isn't it?! It's truly helping with toning & muscle mass (especially in the lower body), not to mention it's a great for metabolism, stress-relief and I feel so good post-workout. Very grateful for it, as well. Hope you have a wonderful day!

@granddi @ellaphant @HeiressIn-FL @Bookplate @MrSour I just put a lot of clothes in my washer and make sure most are on one side. That will cause my washer to get off balance and shake. Then I just sit on it.
