A Comparison of Vibrating Exercise Machines

Vibration exercise machines help improve muscle tone.

Vibration exercise machines were invented by the Russian space program to help their astronauts exercise when in space. They are sometimes used to help accident and coma victims regain muscle strength.

HOW VIBRATION EXERCISE MACHINES WORK

The user of a vibration exercise machine stands on a platform and maintains his balance as the machine vibrates. They stress the muscles much less than do traditional workout techniques, and are designed to work specific muscle groups.

POINTS OF COMPARISON

When comparing different vibration exercise machines, see if the platform is made of steel or plastic; plastic platforms tend to break. The better machines have more vibration settings available, as well as automatic programs. Machines have weight limits as well. Also compare warranties available on different machines.

PRICE COMPARISONS

According to Vibration Exercise, the best vibration exercise machine for its price is the VibraSlim Vibration Fitness with a 5-star rating and a price range from $1,700 to $5,000. Other more expensive 5-star vibration exercise machines are the Power Plate Vibration, the TurboSonic Vibration Machine, the VibroGym Exercise Plate, and the EOS-6600 Body Master.
