A vibration plate for your fitness goals?
Are you looking for an effective way to achieve your fitness goals? Then a vibration plate fitness machine might be for you. A vibration plate is a very popular and versatile fitness device that allows you to train your entire body. Whether you want to lose weight, increase your muscle strength or improve your overall fitness; the vibration plate is a great addition to your routine. Curious about what exactly a fitness vibration plate is, how to use it and what exercises you can do with it? We tell you more about it in this blog.
What is a vibrating plate and how do you use it?
You've probably heard of a vibration plate fitness machine. But what exactly is it? A vibration plate is a fitness device that produces vibrations as soon as you stand, lie or sit on it during exercises. These vibrations are absorbed by your body, causing it to become unbalanced. Your muscles are immediately alerted. The result? Your muscles tighten to regain balance. So an ideal way to train your muscles during your fitness routine! Although this doesn't sound like anything exciting, it does a lot to your body. A vibration plate is good for circulation, helps you lose weight, speeds up fat burning and reduces orange peel and cellulite.
Vibration plate good for circulation
A vibration plate good for circulation? Absolutely! A vibration plate fitness machine stimulates blood circulation, transporting more oxygen and nutrients efficiently to your muscles, tissues and organs. As a result, these function better, but better blood flow also contributes to recovery after an intense workout. Better blood flow thanks to a vibration plate fitness machine additionally contributes to:
- draining waste products and toxins from your body;
- promoting healthy skin;
- regulating body temperature;
- strengthening your immune system.
Losing weight using a vibration plate
Another reason to use a vibration plate is because it can help you lose weight. However, losing weight with a vibration plate alone is (unfortunately) not possible; you also need to watch your diet, drink enough water and do cardio and strength exercises. However, a fitness plate can help you burn more calories, strengthen your muscles and reduce muscle soreness after a workout. So losing weight with a vibration plate is possible, but it is not a magic solution for weight loss.
Vibration plate fitness exercises
We told you what a vibration plate is and that a vibration plate is good for circulation and can contribute to weight loss. But what kind of exercises can you do on a fitness vibration plate? There are several exercises you can do on a vibration plate fitness machine to take your routine to the next level. We list three effective vibration plate exercises for you.
1: the vibration plate squat
Want to target your quadriceps (muscle group in the thighs), calves, hamstrings and glutes during an exercise on the fitness vibration plate? Then we recommend squatting on the plate. Stand on the fitness vibration plate, place your feet shoulder-width apart or wider and bend your knees until you are at an angle of about 90 degrees. Keep your back straight and hold this position for 5 seconds. Start with three sets of 10 repetitions.
2: planks
Want to strengthen your torso and your balance? Then you can plank on the vibration plate. Place your forearms on the vibration plate and your toes on the floor. Pull your navel in while tightening your abdominal muscles. Also tighten your glutes fully and keep your back straight. Hold the position for 30 seconds. Each time, you can try to hold it a little longer. Want to make it a bit more intense for yourself? Then you can stretch your arms or legs one at a time.
3: the hip bridge
Strengthening your glutes and core is done very well with hip bridge. Especially with a hip bridge exercise on a fitness vibrating plate! Lie on your back with your knees bent and place your feet firmly and flat on the vibrating plate for optimal stability. From this position, push your hips up while tightening your glutes. Hold the position for a few seconds and gently lower your hips again. Start with three sets of ten repetitions.
