Originally designed for Russian cosmonauts in the 1960s to help maintain muscle mass whilst at zero-gravity, vibration technology is now standard in many British gyms. Gentle and effective for anyone new to exercise, our vibration plate is also a terrific substitute for high impact activities like running or weight training. By stimulating muscles at 30-50 contractions a second, it strengthens and tones as well as improving balance and posture and even helps to lose weight. Choose from 99 intensity levels and set the timer from 1-20 minutes with the display panel and buttons or use the handy remote control (2x AAA batteries, not included). Add upper body exercises with 2x resistance bands (included) if you wish. W68 x D39 x H13cm. Not recommended during pregnancy or for anyone with cardiovascular conditions.
