What is vibration exercise?
As you place yourself in various exercise positions (like a squat or a sit-up), the movement of the platform stimulates the body’s natural ‘stretch reflex.’ This is similar to having your knee tapped at a doctor’s office. Without thinking about it, your body responds with a strong involuntary muscle contraction, leading your leg ‘to kick out’. With WAVE technology, these strong contractions can be repeated at a rapid rate, up to 3000 muscle contractions per minute. Since the muscle contractions are involuntary, nearly 100 percent of your muscles are being worked. This is in contrast to conventional training, where you may only get 40 to 60 percent of your muscles engaged. Using more muscles with higher repetitions than conventional training can provide you with a whole body workout in only 15 minutes. By using only your body weight, minimal stress is placed on the joints.
