People ranging from young and old, pro athletes and celebrities to the couple next door, are discovering the benefits of vibration training.
Basically, any fitness related activities you can do using traditional methods can be done on a vibration machine - and most often with better results and in a shorter amount of time.
Strength training, stretching and massage are all possible on the 3G Cardio AVT 3.0, 5.0 and 6.0 Vibration Machines.
The fitness industry hasn't seen anything become as popular as fast as vibration training since elliptical trainers were introduced more than a decade ago.
When exercising using accelerated vibration training, also known as whole body vibration training, you hold common exercise positions, like a pushup, squat or calf raise. You can also use straps to perform some exercises.
The vibrations will cause the engaged muscles to reflexively contract. A traditional squat exercise might only activate about 30-60 percent of the leg muscles, but on a 3G Cardio® AVT 3.0, 5.0 and 6.0 Vibration Machine a person can have 90 percent or more of the muscle group engaged.
Both fast-twitch and stabilizing muscles are called into action for support as the "progression of muscle fatigue" is nearly instantaneous. This is the only way many people age 30 and over will engage both the "fast" and "slow" twitch muscles during a workout in a safe, consistent manner.
Vibration machines allow you to work the muscles to fatigue in a safer and more efficient way than traditional methods because it puts very little if any strain on ligaments and joints.
This safety factor has made vibration training popular even in hospitals and nursing homes because it allows people to exercise their muscles like never before. Even senior citizens can stand on a vibration training machine and get a basic workout in - and stronger muscles lead to stronger bones.
It's suggested that people exercise about 2-3 times a week for the first month or so in order to get used to a vibration trainer if using it for the first time. After this initial acclimation period, most trainers recommend an average person exercises 3-4 times a week on the vibration trainer for at least 10-20 minutes. Advanced athletes may work out on it for up to 30 minutes.
Vibration training works best as a complement to other types of traditional exercises, but it's so effective that many people use it as their primary way to work out.
The 3G Cardio AVT® Vibration Machine have won numerous Best Buy awards and are carried by some of the top fitness chains across the country, including At Home Fitness, Hest Fitness, Push Pedal Pull, Gym Source and Health and Fitness of Ohio.
Consult with a doctor if you have health concerns before making any kind of workout changes.
