How Do Vibration Plates Work?

Whilst still a fairly new addition to fitness, vibration technology is soaring in popularity. Vibration plates have the power to completely transform a workout, provided they’re used correctly. But how do vibration plates work? How can simply standing on a vibrating plate help tone muscle and boost fat loss? Well, your answers are here! 

In this blog, we’ll be discussing all things power plates. Outlining exactly how they work and how your workout results could be boosted, here’s all you need to know.

How Do Vibration Plates Work?

Utilising cutting-edge technology, vibrating plates (also known as power plates) do exactly what their name suggests. They produce intense vibrations, specifically designed to make your muscles contract and work harder. In fact, power plates can make your muscles contract up to 50 times per second!

Simply standing on a vibration plate produces a lot of reactions within your body. To merely stay standing and balanced, your muscles must compensate somehow. In order to do this, they involuntarily ‘twitch’ and contract at an incredibly fast rate. This can aid weight loss, boost muscle toning, and even help reduce cellulite! 

The more advanced the plate, the more features you’ll experience. Models like our 4D plate provide a range of different vibration patterns and speeds, with three separate motors! But if you’re looking for something a little simpler, our Ultra Slim model is super easy to use with 5 built-in programs. 

Get on your Vibration Plate

Whilst we’d love to say simply standing on a plate for 10 minutes a day will help sculpt your dream body, that’s not the case. Just standing on a vibrating plate will do very little to achieve your fitness goals. 

Instead, they must be incorporated into existing workouts. This can help transform virtually any routine into a full-body session, boosting calories burnt and enhancing overall results as time progresses. 

But this definitely isn’t as challenging as it sounds! Plenty of fun, easy exercises can be achieved with a vibration plate. Provided your feet don’t have to move too much, you can create entire fitness routines using a power plate.

Vibration Plate Exercises

Moves such as squats, lunges, push-ups and even sit-ups can be easily done with a vibrating plate. And you certainly don’t need to be a fitness pro either! 

All abilities can use a vibration plate, even if you’ve never properly exercised before. For easy workout inspiration, check out our handy 10-minute guide specifically designed for beginners.
