Whole Body Vibration Quotes

“Progressive Training Plan I recommend progressively phasing in the following elements to increase the difficulty of your workout. As your body adapts and grows stronger, you can continue to challenge yourself with these methods. 1. Extend the time of each exercise. 2.  Reduce the rest period between exercises. 3. Increase the number of sets per exercise. 4. Perform exercise statically (standing still) then dynamically (moving). 5. Add more challenging exercises. 6.  Increase the frequency (Hz). 7.  Incorporate unilateral exercises (perform exercise on one leg). 8. Incorporate holding increasing amounts of additional weight.”

“Advanced Program After you have acclimated to WBV and built up your tolerance and strength, you can maximize the health and wellness workout benefits by following these training tips. Whole body vibration exercise is much more intense than conventional exercises. Workout times can be drastically shortened; you can accomplish the same results in ten minutes that would take you sixty minutes with conventional exercise. This is true because WBV requires your body to constantly respond to the rapidly moving platform beneath you. Four factors determine how effective and challenging your training sessions are: 1. the frequency (rate of vibration) 2. the position or posture you assume 3. the amount of time you spend holding a given position 4. the amount of weight you are supporting on the plate (if you want a more challenging workout, hold additional exercise weights)”

“EACH FOLLOWING DAY (or every two to three days): Increase the time by thirty to sixty seconds, up to ten minutes, without increasing the speed. ♦ When you get to ten minutes, drop the time down to three to four minutes and increase the speed one setting. Increase the time at this new speed following the same guidelines as above. ♦ As you gradually increase the speed, one setting at a time, follow this same pattern of increasing the amount of time day by day. Continue to drop the time back down when you increase the speed setting. Troubleshooting ♦ If you feel worse in the twenty-four hours after your vibration session, try less time and/or frequency the next time. You can even rest a day and only vibrate two to three times per week. Another good way to slow down is to just sit next to the machine and put only your feet on the vibrating plate. ♦ It is common to experience itching in some areas of the body, such as ears, nose, or feet, while vibrating. This may be due to increased circulation in that area, a release of toxins, or possibly some energy phenomenon. While this itching can be irritating, as long as it stops shortly after vibrating, it is harmless—a minor inconvenience in the process of healing. ♦ It is also highly recommended to incorporate a healthy diet and natural supplements to help lower inflammation levels in your body. See the detoxification section in chapter 7 and the troubleshooting section in chapter 2.”

“Becky’s Slow and Gentle Beginner’s Program DAY 1: Stand on your vibration machine (make sure you are using the proper type of machine) for thirty to sixty seconds at the lowest frequency or speed setting. WBV has very powerful effects on every part of your body, so I recommend starting with a very small amount of vibration on the first day to see how you respond. Watch and wait for twenty-four hours before trying any more vibration. As long as you feel the same or better the next day, you can increase the intensity of your next vibration session. Some people will be able to increase the amount of WBV much faster than other people. If you find that you are feeling better following the beginner’s program, you can try increasing your time and speed more rapidly. DAY 2: Increase the time by thirty to sixty seconds, staying at the same low speed. More sensitive people should do the same amount of time for two to three days before increasing, and increase the time by only thirty seconds each session thereafter.”

“Whole Body Vibration Training Basics Goals ♦ Minimum recommended usage (but work up to this slowly): five to ten minutes of vibration at mid-level frequency each day, but it is not a problem if you miss some days. It is great if you can work up to doing twenty minutes per day. ♦ Maximum recommended usage: twenty to thirty minutes of vibration per day. Basics ♦​To target different muscle groups, choose different positions from the pictures in this book or from the poster found on my website. ♦​Do each exercise position for thirty seconds to one minute, either holding the position (static, or isometric) or moving in and out of it (dynamic, or kinetic). ♦​Many benefits are achieved even if you only stand on the machine. In fact, standing upright on the plate is a great position for increasing bone density, as it helps to transmit the vibration throughout your body. So, even if you are too tired to work out, do stand or sit on your plate—relax and vibrate! ♦​Mid-level speed settings are optimal for muscle strengthening exercises. Higher speed settings are better for stretching and massage. The most important thing is just to do some vibration! Remember that all vibration works for strengthening, stretching and massage, lymphatic drainage, and other health benefits.”

“The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, nodes, and organs that removes waste products and toxins from our bodies, and it is part of your immune system, which protects you against infection and disease. This system relies on passive circulation. In other words, unlike the blood vessels (which require a heart to pump the blood around the body), there is no pump for the lymph system. The lymph system relies on your muscles tightening and relaxing around the lymph vessels to move the lymph, a process called lymph drainage. To keep this system working well, it is important to be using your muscles regularly—another benefit of WBV!”

“The development and use of vibration in the 1970s allowed Russian cosmonauts to be in space twice as long as their nonvibrating American counterparts (approximately two hundred days versus one hundred days). More recently, a NASA website cited the effects of vibration on turkeys, sheep, and rats as “profound . . . promoting near-normal rates of bone formation”[21] under laboratory conditions simulating the zero gravity conditions of space flight.”

“One hundred percent of your muscles will be working, while in traditional exercises, only some of your muscles are engaged. For example, in a nonvibrating squat, only about 40 percent of your leg muscles are working, but if you are vibrating, 100 percent of your leg muscles will be firing.”

“But what if exercising was so quick, enjoyable, relaxing, and conveniently located in your own home (or nearby) that it was the highlight of your day? If every day you could hardly wait to get to it, and you had to restrain yourself from doing too much? It is possible. Whole body vibration has arrived—and just in time! We are a nation and world in desperate need of the many life-changing benefits of WBV.”

“WBV has such a powerful effect on the lymphatic system, causing so much detoxification, that I suggest caution; start slow, with just a minute or two, and increase slowly. In this case, truly, less is more—but can you imagine an exercise system where the biggest problem is not to do too much?!”

“Feeling a lack of energy and zest? WBV may be just what you need. Chapter 5 looks at the numerous physiological effects of WBV that increase energy, including rising levels of testosterone (linked to both men’s and women’s sexual libidos and energy levels). WBV also increases circulation, bringing nutrients and oxygen to all cells, and the antidepressant effect also sends new energy through your mind and body.”
