Vibration Training
The gym at Cotswolds Health and Fitness Club has two VibroGym powerplates on offer for personal training and members of the gym to use.
Vibration training (you may have heard of ‘Powerplates’) works by stimulating muscle fibres at a very high frequency. This has the effect of increasing the number of muscle fibre contractions; when exercises are performed, a greater percentage of muscle fibres are stimulated when compared to a conventional exercise. Your deep core and postural muscles also have to work very hard to stabilise the body whilst on the Vibrogym. The result of this is that a very effective whole body workout can be performed in a relatively short period.
Some benefits of the VibroGym include:
- Increase in Muscular Strength, Endurance, Power and Size
- Increase in Bone Mineral Density and Joint Stability
- Increase in Metabolic rate
- Improvement in Balance and Posture
- Improvement in Joint stability
- Increase in Flexibility
- Reduction in pain and fatigue
- Reduction in Cellulite
Vibration training is not a fad; used extensively by fitness professionals and celebrities all over the world, used correctly as part of a properly designed fitness programme, they provide a very intensive, enjoyable workout, in a relatively short period of time.
