To avoid shaking the brain too much, bend slightly at the knees. When you have your balance established on the plate, you can use light hand weights to tone the arms (and add ankle weights). Its also good for releasing endorphins if you're feeling sad.

I just got a LifePro. I'm a 62-year-old female with a 20-year history of type 2 diabetes. I've been following a low way of eating for the last year and a half. 75 lbs. down so far and off my non-insulin injectable now 11 months, after having taken it for most of those 20 years. I wear a CGM as well. Today was the first day that I used my LifePro, starting with this morning shortly after rising. 5 minutes on the vibration plate and my blood sugar dropped 30 points. I've used it throughout the day today in increments of 2-5 minutes and my blood sugar is significantly lower today than normal. I did about 30 minutes total over the course of the day. I'm 100% hooked and will continue to use the vibration plate. I have a lot of pain in my hips and knees when walking so I don't get much walking in except for normal errands and so forth. But the vibration plate does not hurt me at all. I'm hoping since it clearly helps with lowering blood sugar it will also help with weight loss. Despite cutting out all processed foods and eating very few carbs, my insulin resistance has been extremely stubborn, and the weight loss has been slow (likely due to inactivity, I work long hours in front of a computer). Between my rebounder, the vibration plate, body weight squats, and kettlebell throws I think the scale is going to start moving. I still have 100 lbs. to lose.

On posture: I have noticed something similar happening while walking 10k steps a day. When you sit all day, your body adapts to that. But when you're walking for an hour or two, or use this vibration device, your body seems to know exactly to combat pain and exhaustion: You start to get back into a good posture. I used to be very sore after a walk. After a few months, even my friend noted that my back was more straight, my shoulders back, and sitting posture had changed. I told them: "Well yeah, you can only walk for so long with your shoulders down, bended over back, or uneven movement of the hips." To me, it looks like the critical component being that you're moving your body. Just standing still, or on guard, won't have that same effect.

Back in the 1960s I was just a kid who was plagued with constipation that often took me to the doctor's office. My Grandma had a slenderizing salon, which back in the day involved vibrating tables and the strap machine that you put the strap around your midsection and adjusted the strap higher or lower to vibrate various areas. I'm not sure what the theory was but my guess is they hoped it would vibrate the fat off. I love hanging out with my grandma and I used to get on that strap machine all the time. My mom noticed that I didn't have problems with constipation anymore! Vibrating our midsection helps that problem!

I got my Lifepro vibration plate a week ago because your video popped up. Maybe it was fate because i "used to be" in a lot of arthritis/fibromyalgia pain. Its simply not a placebo here. Im no longer in a pain after a week, I've become way more active outside and get this... i can bend again and do yoga again!!... yes, after a week. I feel really good. Thanks to YOU!

***Update after 3 weeks with Lifepro plate...
I've lost some water weight and feel more toned on legs. 5 days is over doing it, so 2nd week I did 4. Still too much, so this week it's only been one day use then skip 2 days. I got dehydrated so make sure to replenish with electrolytes and high protein meals.

It’s also shown to improve lymphatics, which is why cognitive function and improves as there is lymph in the brain

A funny anecdote from Nikola Tesla’s life. He created a plate that he vibrated using electricity & magnetism, he used to present it during his demonstrations, having famous people from the audience stand on it. The funny comes in when you read that very often the volunteers had to rush to the bathroom to relieve their bowels. I know these plates that you are discussing have a more controlled and comfortable vibration, but your note about b.m. triggered my memory of that story.

Thank you for sharing this!

I'm a sedentary 67 year old. I bought it because suggested bone health benefits. I have osteopenia. It will be interesting to see my next DEXA results. I've used it every day for only a couple of months. The muscles in my legs feel like I've gone for a comfortable walk afterwards. I hadn't realized that my balance wasn't great and since using it, I feel better balanced and more graceful. About a month ago, I started using hand weights so I'm exercising my arms and core also. I feel like my mood and attitude are better since using it. I highly recommend it for other senior citizens. Edited to add: My knees and feet feel better, too.

Great review! I too have been using a vibration plate daily 10 mins the past 6 months. Spot on same positive effects as you stated. I do want to upgrade try the vibration plate you have as I got less expensive one to see if I liked it first before bigger investment.
I also didn’t notice any reduction in cellulite or weight loss at all, but everyone’s body is different as I am 48 years old.
I have recently add a weighted vest and do often kettle bell movements on the vibration plate.
I feel a really nice boost of energy afterwards and I noticed huge difference in less joint and back pain which is fantabulous!
Adding a trampoline for 10 mins with 10 mins vibration plate is awesome 20 min workout! ❤

I bought a Lifepro Rumblex Plus on June 29 because of your video where you tried one out at the convention. They must have updated them, because mine has a remote control that you can wear while you're on the plate. They've also added a screen lock that prevents you from accidentally turning off the machine if you touch the screen. It also has Bluetooth, and I can play music through it. I love it! I started using it yesterday, because I procrastinate, A LOT.

It was priced at $400, but I paid under $200, I think. I have the Retail Me Not browser extension, which added a coupon that took off $132, plus I had birthday money, and it was on sale. Thanks for sharing your videos about your experience with vibration plate, because I'm now on my way to less back and joint pain.

My daughter is a type 1 diabetic. If she has a stubborn high she goes on the plate for 10 minutes and her blood sugar begins to go down

I have been using mine for over a year for bone density... the first time I stepped on I felt like I was on a bad amusement park ride and wanted to hurl, could only do 30 seconds. But I let myself slowly acclimate and now it's great. 10 minutes a day, high amplitude and frequency at least 30Hz. Going by my medical clinic dexa scans my bone density improved in a year's time. My Dr is amazed. I also do a LOT of other bone support stuff as well. My brand is vibration therapeutic. I have it on the lowest floor of my house it *really* vibrates....

The first time I used a vibration machine, I had the most FABULOUS bowel movement ever! I was shocked at the volume! And, as you stated, there was no urgency, no discomfort. I eventually bought one, but it wasn't really a good product. After watching your excellent video, I am going to revisit. Because of foot mechanics, I am unable to walk, but I can stand. Hitting my 75th, and I need this help.

Vibration plates were the only thing that allowed me to exercise when recovering from ME/CFS and post viral fatigue because of the increased circulation/oxygenation. Fun fact: lactate acid is high in people with ME/CFS. Vibration plates also helped reduce post exertional malaise (PEM).

However, using vibration plates in an apartment where neighbours moan at the slightest noise is an art that involves buying many anti-vibration mats (washing machine mats work well) and finding that perfect spot on the floor that doesn't trigger mass creaking.

EDIT: for those too incapacitated to stand or even sit on the plates but who still want the benefits of increased oxygenation passive vibration exercisers like the Chi Machine and similar machines are fabulous.

I am 61 and bought mine 6 months ago. I started slowly, and I felt a good higher energy level. I set mine to 15 high multi function. I gradually increased. I am pretty active as I still teach kindergarten. My weight was 93:5 After2 months using each morning I felt good enough to change my diet and add hand weights. In last two months I have used mixture one weight vest, very heavy 8 kg, in morning shake and evening before shower I use 5 kg each hand. I feel great. I look much better and yes, combined with diet I lost to date 9:3 kg. Once you get into it as a habit it works. First 2:5 months no weight lost but felt much happier and skin was looking glowing. Now, I am following a ‘ war time’ recipient meal diet and weight is dropping fast. And I am so much happier. 😂. It is not a miracle worker, it is changing your attitude towards yourself. And if you feel like putting in extra. I felt I was worth it. I do Hope this helps a few of you. 😊

I tried a vibration plate at a the 2017 ACHEMA trade show in Frankfurt. I was on my feet all day, every day that week and so my legs and feet were very tired. A vibration plate distributor had a booth where they were demonstrating their equipment. I was able to spend 15 minutes standing on one of their plates and, wow, it was glorious. My legs and feet felt rejuvenated for the rest of the afternoon.

I love my vibrating plate, i am using it almost everyday for three years. I am a disabled person, I can't do most exercises and this machine saved my body from falling apart.
1. Cellulitis: thanks to the plate i do not have any cellulitis on my legs despite being about 200lbs.
2. Definitely helps me with sugar level in my blood (i have diabetes)
3. Recently (5 weeks ago) i got hernia and i was not using the machine for 4 weeks. I started again a week ago because i was missing it and suddenly my back get better thanks to blood flow. My back heals better and faster now.
4. Overall body pains get better thanks to plate

I just have to say: I’m so inspired by you and your channel!!! I’ve started waking and walking everyday and try to hit 15k everyday. This has been so transformative. And it’s all due to you. I focus on how I feel, how it clears my mind, how I’m sleeping. Thank you so much, Robin❤❤❤

Thank you for mentioning the itching. I thought that was so weird. We've had ours for a couple of months and I love it. I call it the "Paint Shaker." I even have my senior dog come and stand on it for a few minutes on a low vibration setting. She loves it.

I worked in Medical Spa for many years we used vibration plate on regular basis for client after Fat reduction treatments to help process fat through the lymphatic system. FYI it is NASA technology was used after training and or mission due to muscle weakness to help strengthen then they discovered all the other added benefits it offers. So get to shaking it is amazing for so many things
