Who can benefit from vibration exercise?
Vibration exercise is
widely popularized in the fitness and sports
performance industry as well as among golfers,
hospitals, small private rehabilitation clinics,
weight loss clinics, assisted living homes,
corporate settings and even home gyms.
Is vibration exercise known as a substitute
for cardiovascular exercise?

intensity of the exercise, decreasing the rest time
or adding extra weight.
Turbovibe machines have been designed to have gentle
effect on the cardiovascular system. These machines
can be used by those who should not be stressing
their cardiovascular system.
How does vibration technology exercise compare to conventional
exercise and does this technology substitute for weight training?
Scientific researches’
have proven that WBV (Whole Body Vibration) recruits
more muscle fibres than conventional exercise due to
its ability to influence the stretch reflex. Since
this is an involuntary reflex, a large percentage of
the muscle fibres can be recruited - both fast and
slow twitch muscle groups leading to changes in
strength and muscle size.
How does vibration technology work?
Vibration exercise is a Proven
Science. Turbovibe produces a vibration through
which energy is transferred to the body.
Turbovibe machines create a vibration which
stimulates the body’s natural response to
vibration. This results in performing reflexive
muscle actions of 25 to 50 times per second.
These reflex contractions within the muscle,
allows the body to have a high level of muscle
activation and exertion.
Can an individual exercise all their muscles on Turbovibe?
Of course. However, always keep in mind that
vibration is highest in the body part that is closer
to the platform and lower as it travels up the body.
Could WBV replaces ones entire fitness program?
It really depends on personal aim. Turbovibe can
increase mobility and flexibility, improve
co-ordination and core stability. Also can increase
muscle strength.
Will Turbovibe help loose weight?
Turbovibe helps loose weight. It increases lean
muscle mass, resulting in increase of metabolism,
which means more calorie burn.
When are benefits noticeable?
Benefits are noticeable almost right away. Even
after one minute, one can feel the changes.
Can Vibration Exercise reduce cellulite?
Yes. This is achieved through improving the body’s
ability to drain toxins and lymphatic waste, due to
better circulation. Therefore, it reduces the swelling in the areas of the body with cellulite. Also due to increase
of collagen, it improves skins’ elasticity and tone.
