Vibration Plate 101 \ Q&A

Oh the vibration plate… I feel like all of a sudden I’m seeing it EVERYWHERE. I started on my detox journey a few years ago. I first began with the sauna and rebounding as my two main modalities to help support my bodies lymphatic system. Which I still do ALL the time. However I was intrigued by the plate. What was different about it? Now that I’ve been using it for 3+ months, let me share!

When I got the plate I didn’t jump in full force. I started SLOW to see how my body would react. I’d do it in the morning with my red light for 5 minutes on a level 5 out of 100… so like, a very low vibration. At first all I did was stand with my knees slightly bent, and now I’m learning all different kinds of moves. My current routine 3 month in is, 15 minutes in the morning, 5 times a week. More details below in the Q&A.

Overall I’ve noticed the improvement of my lymphatic flow, especially with my digestion. If you need support in getting everything moving and staying regular, this is it! TMI?? Nah, guys! I have to share it ALL 😉

I’ve posted two videos on my Instagram thus far. Here is a video on the basics and another if you’d like to try different moves.

Vibration Plate 101 + Q&A

What vibration plate do I have?

LifePro – I like that it has a timer & speed setting, it’s large enough so I can get into different positions and has multiple feet placements depending on how much vibration you’d like. Link here! It does come with bands if you want to do more of a workout on it. Learning some different things now. Stay tuned…

What are the benefits?

Boosts lymphatic drainage, improves circulation, digestion and bone density, reduces inflammation/joint stiffness, strengthens muscles, and accelerates recovery.

Do you just stand on it?

I did at first until I started to learn more moves. Depending on what you want to target, there are numerous things you can do. I’m learning as I go. I typically start standing for 5-10 minutes and then do 5 minutes of movement. Remember when you are simply standing to make sure you have a slight bend in your knees – don’t lock out!

How long do you use it each session?

15 minutes. However I started at 5 minutes and worked my way up.

How many days a week do you use it?

4-5 days a week.

When do you use it?

I typically do it in the morning paired with my red light panel.

Do you get dizzy?

I did not. I have heard a small amount of people do. This is why I suggest to start slow.

What speed did you start on?

I literally started on 5 out of 100 and now do anywhere from 30-50 depending on what I am doing.

How is it different than rebounding?

The plate also supports the lymphatic systems and gets everything pumping/flowing. However it is more of a passive modality. Rebounding is more of a workout, strengths muscles and has a balancing component. So think cardio health when it comes to jumping! I love to do my mini trampoline incorporated in my workout or a warm up.
