How does the unique iFit vibration oscillation work?
The vibration oscillation motion of the i.Fit machine makes the muscles contract and relax up to 50 times a second, giving the body a high speed workout without you even having to set foot in the gym.
Whilst other machines use either vibration or oscillation, i.Fit has two motors – so uses BOTH. As the i.Fit plates move up and down, they also vibrate in a way specifically designed to stimulate and trigger the muscle walls. As this happens the body tries to stabilise itself by contracting the muscles, therefore working twice as hard – which gives you better results.
Vibration training is not a new idea, it has been around for over 30 years, and was originally developed by space training centres to help combat muscle wastage and osteoporosis in astronauts.
The revolutionary technology of Whole Body Vibration training is not only backed by science, it is used by professionals throughout the world in areas such as sports, healthcare, universities, fitness and training, plus celebrities who are also starting to enjoy the benefits of a vibration workout.
Whole body vibration exercise actually works your muscles from the inside out. The vibrations move throughout the body, in an efficient, effective and safe way to stimulate the muscles. This causes them to contact and relax as they would under normal physical activity only much faster.
Vibration oscillation training is suitable for anyone and everyone – the benefits are the same whether you are super fit or a beginner.
Key benefits of vibration oscillation training:
- Burn fat
- Lose weight
- Increase flexibility
- Decrease blood pressure
- Increase circulation and lymphatic drainage
- Tone and tighten skin
- Reduce cellulite
- Increase bone density
- Reduce back and joint pain
- Increase natural collagen levels
- Build muscle tone
- Increase balance and co-ordination
- Increase sense of well being
All this can be achieved with 30-40 minutes usage per week.
Additional benefits:
- No special gym wear is needed
- No need to get hot and bothered
Vibration oscillation training:
All i.Fit machines have two motors. One that powers the oscillation motion and one for the vibration motion.
Oscillation, which is the up and down motion, will give the body a resistance work out. The body will try to correct itself, fighting against the motion, so as one limb moves up, the other limb moves down allowing the bodies’ natural shock absorbing system to operate. The forces are dissipated by the pelvic girdle, thorax and lumbar spine.
The benefits of oscillation training are:
- Reduction in visceral and subcutaneous fat – Particularly around the abdomen
- Improvement in muscle tone
- Reduction cholesterol
- Improvement in the function of the nervous system
- Improvement in bone density, making the bones become stronger.
- Improvement in intestinal movement
- Increases the metabolic rate – the best way to lose weight.
Exercising the muscles causes them to tire, and resting allows them to recover. By doing regular exercise this strengthens the muscles and increases physical performance.
Vibration exercise works in the same way but intensifies the effects, therefore achieving greater results in a short space of time.
The vibration motion sends small vibrations through the body. This stimulates the bones, muscles, blood vessels and cells, working your muscles from the inside out, which promotes rapid development and circulation.
These vibrations cause the muscles to contract and relax anything between 3 and 50 times per second. Which means just 10 minutes of vibration training is the equivalent of 60 minutes resistance training.
