Vibration Machines Review : power plate my3, Frequency 30, Power plate my5, Frequency 50

Vibration Machines Review : power plate my3, Frequency 30, Power plate my5, Frequency 50

Reviews and comparisons:

Vibration Machines! As seen on The Tyra Banks Show and The Doctors TV Show. Madonna, Claudia Schiffer, Elle Macpherson and Kylie Minogue swear by these machines!
The plate uses vibrations to make muscles contract and relax up to 50 times a second. Along with a calorie-controlled diet, the European Congress on Obesity in Amsterdam found it to be 2.7 times more successful at achieving long-term weight loss than conventional workouts.
Compare Vibration Machines
We are going to compare Vibration Machines that are available for purchase in Canada. There are two classes of Vibration Machines: Residential and Commercial / High End Residential. For each class, we will take a look at three popular brands.


Different Types of Vibration Machines
Tri-Planar Vibration
Oscillation
WHICH ONE IS BETTER?
Tri-Planar machines do not have a center fulcrum point like the oscillating machines they do not wobble from side to side. The plate of a tri-planar machine moves up and down, side to side and front to back all at the same time. This three dimensional range of movement is where the term tri-planar originates. These machines typically have lower amplitudes but higher frequencies. The differences in the two types allow the tri-planar machines to be more effective at increasing muscle strength, increasing bone density and for detoxification.

What is Vibration Training?
Vibration training has been around since the 1960’s. The actual technical term that physiologists use to explain “cyclical vibrations” that are used to better the state of human joints by improving their flexibility relatively fast is Rhythmic Neuromuscular Stimulation, or RNS.
Benefits of a Vibration Machine
Increase Energy Levels
Increase Flexibility
Raise Metabolism
Reduce Cortisol Levels (Stress Hormone)
Induce Lipolysis (breakdown of fat)
Increase Range Of Motion
Reduce Back And Joint Pain
Build Muscle Strength
Rehabilitate Injuries
Increase Blood Oxygenation
Elevate Serotonin Levels
Improve Lymphatic Flow
Improve Circulation
Build Bone Mass And Bone Mineral Density
Visibly Improve Body Tone
Strengthen Core Muscles
Elevate Human Growth Hormone Levels
Increase Balance
Increase Continence
Wash Out Lactic Acid and Acidic Waste Products
Decrease Blood Pressure
Stimulate Digestion
History of Vibration Technology
The Russian space program developed the Vibration plate to contra negative side effects after a prolonged trip in outer space. The muscle tissue of the cosmonauts had deteriorated considerably, causing a reduction in bone density (osteoporosis). The platform generates vibrations at selected Hz, which is then transferred to the body, causing the muscles to contract in a reflex, tremendously stimulating blood circulation.
Muscle Strengthening
What helps one move is the formation of our bones. The system responsible for all our muscles is the central nervous system. Vibration provides pulses which make every one of your muscles respond in a certain way to a selected frequency.
Say you choose the setting of the vibration plate that pulses at 40Hz. This means that your muscles will be forced to contract about 40 times in each second, or, in other words, 2400 times each minute! These incredibly fast movements allow your body to spend enormous amounts of heat and energy.
We all know that burning energy helps with weight loss. This fitness program also helps to increase your muscle strength and provide a clear definition for your muscles, as well as improve your overall athletic capabilities.
Increased Blood Circulation and Improves Flexibility
When muscles are trained through vibration exercise, they do not only get stronger, but also improve their flexibility and increase their mobility.
When you use vibration exercises, the muscle tissues in your body warm up and thus increase circulation of blood. This ensures that the muscles get more flexible. When your muscles receive highly oxygenated blood, the time one requires to stretch to obtain a certain level of flexibility is drastically decreased.
Having a high level of oxygen in your blood is beneficial in more than one way. It also helps detoxify your body in a very efficient way. All the negative substances that accumulate in your body and cause it to ache are more easily removed. In terms of flexibility, it means that the pain will occur at a later time when stretching, helping achieve much better results.
Performance:
In just 10 minutes a day you can greatly enhance your physical performance by training on a vibration machine. few studies were conducted and proved that just 10 minutes of effortless vibration training had similar results on athlete’s bodies as over 100 leg presses with weight load of more than twice the body mass! You could complete about 200 drop jumps from a height of over 50cm, or achieve same results from standing on a vibrating platform for about 10 minutes.
Boosts hormonal profile:
Helps boost hormone level in brain by intensifying the signals that are obtained by the central nervous system, Makes your brain stronger etc.
Rehabilitation:
Helps with Sports injuries, strengthens muscles, improves balance
Heart Conditions:
Studies had shown that vibration training could be of use to help patients rehabilitate after a stroke. Patients with heart conditions suffer from decreased mobility and balance difficulties.

What is a Kettlebell?
The kettlebell or girya (Russian: гиря) is a cast iron weight looking somewhat like a cannonball with a single looped handle on top. Although this piece of strength training equipment has been around for decades, only recently has it caught the attention of mainstream athletes. While today, there are sizes that range from 5 lbs to 175 lbs, the traditional Russian kettlebell is usually one which weighs 1 Pood (roughly 16kg / 35lbs). Kettlebells are a favorite item in many gyms, along with some other basic training items like weighted medicine balls, pull up bars, jump ropes and lots of free weights.
What's So Great About Kettlebells?
The reason for the boost in kettlebell training it that it gets back to basic training that requires functional, whole body fitness. Kettlebells require an athlete to focus on whole-body conditioning because lifting and controlling a kettlebell forces the entire body, and specifically the core, to contract as a group, building both strength and stability at the same time. Kettlebell workouts engage multiple muscle groups at once. In this way, they are a great option for getting a whole body workout in a short time.
Unlike traditional dumbbells, the kettlebell's center of mass is extended beyond the hand. This allows for swing movements not possible with traditional dumbbells. Because more muscle groups are utilized in the swinging and movement of a kettlebell than during the lifting of dumbbells, a kettlebell workout is said to be more effective, and yields better results in less time.
Because the center of mass on a kettlebell "swings", micro-muscles are needed to balance a kettlebell, more so than a dumbbell. The existence of a handle allows for "release moves" which are not available to a dumbbell.
Kettlebell Training
If you want to maximize a kettlebell workout, get a good instructional DVD such as the KettleWorx series or Kettlebell Bootcamp.

Kettlebell Safety
It's important to start slow and get some training when using kettlebells. When used incorrectly, kettlebells can cause some nasty injuries. Proper use of this cast iron weight requires strength, coordination and lots of practice with a light weight before increasing weight. Each kettlebell exercise involves multiple joints and many muscle groups working together. It takes most athletes time to adjust to these new movement patterns that are often different than traditional weight-lifting moves. To master these movement patterns requires guidance, instruction and patience. After the basics are mastered, increasing the weight provides a strength workout unmatched by machines or even dumbbells.
The biggest mistake beginners make is lifting too heavy a kettlebell before they can control it. This can result in serious injuries to the joints, and especially the neck, back and spine.

P90X Testimonials / Success Stories
Jon C. - "I've never gotten so many comments from so many people about how fit I look."
Anthony L. - "I went to the gym trying to lift weights; couldn't do it. Saw people there that were more fit than me. That was very discouraging itself, so I just went home. I end up Googling 'how to get fit,' and I see a lot of people on YouTube. Reading people's feedback when they tried P90X, not one, zero, zero negative feedback about P90X. Just watching those videos, I was like, I gotta do it. I want to do it. Just seeing them makes me want to work out. But when I first started, I couldn't do nothing. P90X, they laid it out for me and made it very simple. Here's an analogy: it's like how to work a computer for dummies. All you have to do is Push Play, follow the nutrition guides, and you're good."
Bill S. - "Before P90X, I couldn't do any pull-ups. I was out mountain biking one day and went over a ramp, and the trajectory flipped me over backwards and broke my neck. When I heard the snap, I thought I was gonna be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. After the surgery, they put titanium rods in my neck, and the insurance company told the physical therapy people that they don't cover physical therapy. And it was at that point my girlfriend Lisa, she said, 'Well, I'm doing these videos. Maybe you can just do these videos and get your strength back.' Tony, the trainer, just makes it fun, keeps you going. Once you push the play button, the workouts just fly . . . People look at me and they can't believe that this body is 56 years old. And I love it; it's great. Thank you, Tony. Thank you, P90X."
Chuck M. - "In the spring of '07, I started to have chest pains. I decided to go to see the doctor. I had a clogged artery in my left descending coronary artery. And I had stent surgery at that time. And it was just a stroke of luck . . . that I ran into Brad, and he told me about P90X. I said, 'Does it work?' And he showed me his abs, and he says, 'Yeah, it works. Check this out.' I go, 'Wow, that's pretty cool.' And then I tried it, and look, now I have abs too! I couldn't believe all the different types of exercises you could do, plus stretching and yoga, core work. I knew that this was the workout for me. First I was exhausted; I definitely had to get used to it, but it didn't take too long. If you follow the diet guide, if you follow the program, you Push Play every day, you will get results, guaranteed."
Jody B. - "Before starting the P90X program, I was extremely lazy. It really didn't dawn on me that I had a problem until I heard about a rumor that was going around about me that I must be pregnant. I of course was not pregnant, and it was a very hard blow. Right around that time is when my husband started watching the P90X infomercial . . . It's a money-back guarantee, so we went ahead and decided to order it. And I gotta tell ya, it's the best thing that we've ever done . . . I started seeing my results around the 30-day mark. My pants were about an inch to two inches too big. Then I saw greater results at 60 days, and then I was just blown away by my 90-day results. I could not believe what I was seeing, from day 1 compared to day 90 . . . It's a lifetime change for me. I'm not gonna quit. I'm gonna stick with it. I love the results, and I'm never going back to that person that I was before."
Matt B. - "I looked at some pictures one day of me and my son, out in the swimming pool and was just absolutely disgusted by what I saw. I told myself I wasn't gonna be that dad. And you know the one I'm talking about, the one that's out of shape, sitting on the sidelines at his kid's sporting events yelling at him and telling him he needs to run hard, when in fact he gets out of shape going to the refrigerator to restock his beer. At that point, I decided to make P90X the choice for me. And it was a choice that I wish I had made much, much sooner. The workouts are so fun, and you start to see your results so quickly that those 90 days, they just fly by. Another thing that really turned me on about the P90X system was the fact that I could do it in the privacy of my own house. You know, at 212 pounds and 33% body fat, the last thing I wanted to do was be huffing and puffing around the gym . . . I'd just come home from work, pop in the video, go to town. And as a result, I dropped 18 pounds in just the first 30 days with P90X. Day 1, I was 212 pounds and 33% body fat. When I finished, I was down to 173 and 7-1/2% body fat. And I know you've heard this a thousand times, but you know, it worked for me, it can work for you."
Michele R. - "I am the happy mother of seven wonderful kids. Yes, I mean, this stomach has been stretched out to here seven times. And having that many pregnancies was really hard on my body. Now I hadn't taken good care of myself in years. Sitting up that night, I came across the P90X infomercial again. I realized that I was watching the same infomercial for the third time, and I decided that if I had time to sit and do that, then I had some time to exercise. I love P90X. The workouts are so varied. Every day, I get to do something different . . . And Tony is such a great trainer. He talks you through everything. He helps you modify the moves if you're not up to them yet. He motivates you and challenges you to just do your best. I have to admit I wasn't really excited about changing my diet, but I found that following the nutrition plan was so much easier than what I thought it was gonna be. When I started working my body harder, it started asking me for better things to eat. And changing my diet really became more of a natural transition . . . Ladies, don't be afraid of muscle. If you want a youthful shape that fights gravity and burns extra calories 24/7, you need to build muscle. That's what's gonna do it for you."
Rob S. - "Five years ago when I met my wife, I was 225 and I gained a little happy weight over the first 3, 4 years of our marriage and got up to about 250, the biggest I had ever been . . . Me as a guy, the last thing ever I thought I would be doing is sitting in my living room, working out in front of a TV. It's just something I always saw my mom or my sister doing aerobics. And it's amazing. I'm sitting here working in front of the TV and I don't feel funny . . . I've got a great personal trainer, just right there, telling me what moves to do, when to do 'em, how to do 'em, and just guide me through a process. And all you have to do is just follow it . . . It's not easy by any means, but if you commit to it, the way that you feel after each workout is amazing 'cause you feel like you've just conquered the world, and you're excited to even go back and do it the next time . . . You want this, so get it done."
Tommy M. - "When you see P90X on an infomercial, you know, you're seeing guys that are reasonably healthy get really ripped, and they do it in 90 days. And when you're a fat guy, you're looking at this thing and you're thinking, there is no way. And what you don't realize is that it's ok to modify. It's ok to not keep up with the people in the video. The first time I did a video, I couldn't do 20% of what they were doing. But Tony says, 'Do your best and forget the rest.' And whatever my best was that day, whatever I was capable of, whether it was doing eight push-ups for my knees and then taking the last 30 seconds off, that's what I did. And I could struggle as much as I wanted to in my own living room; nobody's watching . . . In 30 days, I lost like 17 pounds, 60 days I'd lost 35 pounds, and after 90 days, I lost 47 pounds. That's like a pound every 2 days. Why stop? There's no reason to stop. I don't call it P90X—I call it P-Lifetime-X."
Demi B. - "I had my first child in 2002, and I was in the Marine Corps at that time. They give you about 6 weeks to get back into shape, and I was pretty much forced into getting back into shape really quick. Fast-forward 7 years later, I'm pregnant with my second child. I'm not in the Marine Corps anymore, and so I don't have that extra push, so I go back to the gym, still was not seeing any results whatsoever. I was depressed; I was just angry at myself. Things were just different. Late one night, I saw the infomercial for P90X, and I knew that from my past history of training in the Marine Corps that this would be perfect for me. My husband told me, you know, we can do this as long as we can cancel our gym memberships, and so we said sayonara to over $200 a month in gym memberships. I love the intensity that it brought. It was simple yet it had a science to it with this Muscle Confusion . . . Before I started P90X, I was about 160, 150. I am 5'4" tall, so that was a little bit 'pleasantly plump' for me . . . Now, I'm 5'4" still, and I weigh about 120 to 125 . . . And I've seriously never looked this way before, ever."

Question: Should I Wear a Weight Vest for a Better Walking Workout?Reader Susan writes: "I have come across some info on a weighted walking vest and wondered what you think. I was wondering about the pros and cons. It seems like a good idea."Answer: Of all of the weights suggested for walkers, a weighted vest is probably the least likely to cause injury. The extra weight is carried where the body naturally adds on extra weight -- the torso, at the center of mass. You don't have the risk of repetitive motion injury and unnatural stress on the feet, arms or ankles you do with ankle weights or hand weights.If you have any problems with your knees, ankles, feet, hips, it is better to weigh less when you walk, as each pound adds even more stress to those joints. If you have no aches or pains, I don't recommend against using a weighted vest, but I think there are better (or more useful) ways of achieving the same goals.Theory #1: Burn More CaloriesThe more you weigh, the more calories you burn per mile. This is true, but the difference is small for any amount of weight you could comfortably add to your body. I'd rather not mess with adding weight to my body, I'd prefer to walk an extra minute to achieve the same effect. I usually wear a hydration backpack, carrying a couple of pounds of water and a couple of pounds of backpack, cell phone, wallet, etc. I don't do this to burn more calories, I carry it to have water and essentials with me on a walk of more than 30 minutes. However, a backpack has disadvantages -- the straps may be uncomfortable, and all of the weight is on your back unless you use the chest strap and belly strap to evenly distribute the weight to your hips rather than your shoulders.Theory #2: Speed TrainingA weighted vest is used in many sports for speed training. If you train with the vest, then compete without it, you will go faster. If you have already trained fully for speed and distance and achieved the best results you can, then this may be a way to get further increases in speed. But if you still have basic training to do for speed and distance, concentrate on that without adding weight.How to Walk FasterWalking Posture and StrideAre You There Yet?For most fitness walkers, I don't see a value in buying an expensive weighted vest. I'd prefer to see you walk an extra minute or two to gain the same calorie burn, or to improve your walking form so you are walking faster and packing more miles into the same time. Again, that means burning more total calories.But You Really Want to Buy a Weight VestIf you are still convinced this is the item for you, then be sure to try before you buy. The vest should fit well, not too tight and not loose. You don't want the weights to be swinging freely, adding strange side motions to your walking form. The weights should be evenly distributed around your torso. Look for a design in mesh or a sweat-wicking fabric with good air flow-through so you won't get sweaty and miserable. You should be able to easily add or subtract weights. The design should still work well with whatever kind of water carrier you use, if you are going to use it for walks over 30 minutes.

The "basic" step involves stepping first one foot then the other on top of the step and then stepping the first foot and then the other back to the floor. A "right basic" would involve stepping right foot up, then the left, then returning to the floor alternating right then left.Many instructors of step will switch immediately between different moves, for example between a right basic and a left basic without any intervening moves, forcing people to "tap" their foot instead of shifting weight. However, one form of step is called tap-free or smooth step in which feet always alternate without the ambiguous "taps" that can make learning step difficult for beginners. This requires a bit of foresight and planning by the instructor in order to insert a transitional or switching move that maintains the natural alternating weight shift akin to walking. For example, from a series of right basics one may insert a "knee up" (which involves stepping up and lifting the knee and returning the lifted leg to the ground, thereby switching feet) and then continuing to a left basic. However, this requires planning and the extra beats required for the transition move.Common Moves include:Basic StepCorner kneeRepeater kneeT-StepOver-the-TopLungesV-StepStraddle DownL-StepSplit StepI-Step

Summary of Foam Rollers:
Foam rollers offer many of the same benefits as a sports massage, without the big price tag.The foam roller not only stretches muscles and tendons but it also breaks down soft tissue adhesions and scar tissue. By using your own body weight and a cylindrical foam roller you can perform a self-massage or myofascial release, break up trigger points, and soothe tight fascia while increasing blood flow and circulation to the soft tissues.How It WorksThe superficial fascia is a soft connective tissue located just below the skin. It wraps and connects the muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels of the body. Together, muscle and fascia make up what is called the myofascia system. For various reasons including disuse, not enough stretching, or injuries, the fascia and the underlying muscle tissue can become stuck together. This is called an adhesion and it results in restricted muscle movement. It also causes pain, soreness and reduced flexibility or range of motion.Myofascial release is a body work technique in which a practitioner uses gentle, sustained pressure on the soft tissues while applying traction to the fascia. This technique results in softening and lengthening (release) of the fascia and breaking down scar tissue or adhesions between skin, muscles and bones.Myofascial release has also been shown to relieve various muscle and joint pains such as IT band syndrome and shin splints as well as improving flexibility and range of motion.Foam rollers are inexpensive and with a bit of experimentation you can target just about any muscle group.Shop for a Foam Roller

Success stories:
So I just got out of the Army and headed back to home sweet home in the country. I was going to the gym everyday in the Army but now the nearest gym is 45 minutes away. So I seen the Tower 200 on t.v. and decided I like the price, I should give it a try. So I get it and I’m watching the dvd and I‘m laughing thinking I'll just do the whole dvd at once. You know thinking I'm a real badass and all. Yeah well I just made it through the 11 minute workout and I’m done. The tower 200 just kicked my ass. So even though I haven’t gained 10 lbs of muscle yet, I’m sure I will pretty quick. The success in this story is that I got my gym now. It’s hanging from my closet door. Thanks Body by Jake. P.S. Randy your the champ and always will be in my eyes and all my buddies!!!"Billy – McArthur, OH"Well I would tell you, the Body by Jake Tower 200 works. I've been working out for more than 25 years and tried everything (machines/weights). I will say this - you get more tension and growth faster because of the constant resistance. It is everything and more that the advertising says, and is worth the money. You have less stress on your bones and tendons, no changing plates and the 11 minute per day absolutely is a hard workout if you apply yourself. I get size, tightness, strength and cardio all at once. There’s an imitator out now by Weider…remember you get what you pay for. I'm extremely happy and will order the accessories. Thank you Body By Jake. "Robert – Macon, GA"When I work out with the Tower 200, because of the way it is designed and the flexion in the bands, I can do about anything imaginable. My most appreciated results come from the full range of motion I can achieve with appropriate resistance all thru the range of motion, with arms or legs, standing or sitting…there is more resistance than I can imagine ever needing. I would like to extend my full appreciation to Jake, the Tower 200, and others that developed the Tower 200."Terry – Russellville, AR"You see so many commercials that try an lure you into buying products that don’t work. The Tower 200 will explode your workout routine. You will be able to train harder, get faster and get stronger every day. I never had any doubts since I got it. I can’t wait to show off my body for the summer! So do yourself a favor and order one!"Casey, Canton Ohio"My challenge and workout plan was to maintain my current weight of 200 pounds but lose body fat. I was at 17% and after working out for 10 - 30 mins. a day, five days a week, for 2 months; I am down to 195 and 13% body fat – a noticeable change and my stamina has increased by leaps and bounds. If you want a product that works, is compact, and demands you to push yourself; then I fully back and endorse the Body by Jake Tower 200."Justin – Fort Bragg, NC"The Tower 200 is the best, most affordable piece of workout equipment I ever bought, and that’s saying a lot because I invested in all kinds of fitness equipment. I'm the army and I also travel a lot, so the Tower 200 is so convenient for me to use – when I get off work I get right on the Tower 200 and go to work. I used to plan hotel stays around being close to a gym but now I don’t worry bout that cuz I pack my Tower 200 in my trunk and set it up in the hotel and never lose a work out day….I love the Tower 200 and it goes wherever I go and that’s real talk."
