LifeSpan Fitness VP-1000 Vibration Plate

Enjoy the benefits of whole body vibration using the LifeSpan VP1000 Vibration Plate. Its dual-motion design encompasses an up/down pivoting system and a secondary front/back pivot. The result is a multi-dimensional platform movement that enhances the benefits you'll receive from whole body vibration, including improved muscle strength, balance and flexibility. In addition to standing in an upright position, there are many other uses of the vibration plate to increase your physical activity and improve your strength, including calf stretches, lunges, squats, pushups, sit-up twists and tricep dips. Assembly is required.

How It Works
Whole body vibration is achieved by being on a platform that vibrates at a high frequency, causing your muscles to contract and stretch to maintain balance without your brain being actively involved. The rapid involuntary reflex intensifies even the simplest exercises. This fast repetition of your muscles reacting along with the controlled low impact to the bones creates the growth and strength.

The platform's design provides multi-directional vibration, with movement up and down, side to side, and front to back.

Enhance your workout routine with the VP-1000.

The primary use of a vibration plate requires that you simply stand on the vibration plate in proper position while the vibration plate moves. Duration and frequency are important elements to consider in using a vibration plate. If you're physically fit, vibration exercise sessions should last no more than 15 minutes. If you're just beginning an exercise program, limit your time to 10 minutes per session. Whole body vibration should be used 2-3 times a week to supplement your cardiovascular workouts, with adequate time in-between sessions to recuperate.

About Whole Body Vibration
Vibration technology is relatively new to the fitness industry but the technology was developed in the 1960s for Russian cosmonauts to prevent muscle atrophy and loss of bone density due to the lack of gravity in space. This proven technology is now used by elite athletes, those rehabilitating from an injury, and those interested in expanding their exercise regiment to take advantage of the health benefits achieved by using whole body vibration.

User Reviews about LifeSpan Fitness VP-1000 Vibration Plate

I purchased this Vibration Plate about a month ago and so far I am pretty happy with it. It is big enough to be sturdy, and small enough so it doesn't fill the entire room. It provides a very good complement to my work-out, and it is extremely easy to use.
The only bad thing I have to say about it is that the assembly instructions were HORRIBLE. Very important steps in the assembling process were missing from the manual, so I had to call customer support to find out how to continue. Even so, I assembled it by myself in about 2 hours. So, do not trust the manual and you will be just fine. -- LifeSpan Fitness VP-1000 Vibration Plate

I like the machine but I have nothing to compare it to. However, I wrote the company about a small problem; a section of the top pad was not glued down: THEY DID NOT ANSWER. I could not find a local machine to try first. All of the gyms in my area did not know what I was talking about. A natural health "expert" is recommending an expensive power plate in a newsletter I get. People who have tried mine are either impressed (exercisers) or confused (non-exercisers). -- Lifespan Fitness VP-1000 Vibration Plate

I waited a year to purchase this vibration plate and finally decided to go ahead after recent studies concluded the effectiveness of such training. Frankly, it's been a great incentive to exercise simply because it just feels so good! I start out my sessions just standing on it and it literally wakes up my body and I go through my routine with enthusiasm. I can't tell if it's given me extra muscle and bone mass, but the fact that I WANT to exercise with it may be meeting my goals anyway. Sadly, the cellulite seems to stick around and enjoy the workout, too, but I'm ever hopeful that it may eventually give up and go away. Anyway, after over two months of use, I'm still enthusiastic about this purchase. -- Great Incentive to Exercise

This a a very good product. I gave it a four star because the directions are not very good and I had extra parts that were not on the parts list or needed to be use. It will do the job. It came well packed and it is compact, but it has a big platform. I am trying to work on bone density. -- A very good product
