Whole Body Vibration is an incredibly efficient means of exercising. At a frequency of 30 Hz and amplitude of 5mm Whole Body Vibration produces gravitational loading of 18G's. This artificially induced gravity means far greater muscle work is required to move the weight of the body.

One session of ten minutes of Whole Body Vibration equates to 150 leg presses using 3 times body weight twice a week for 5 weeks.

For time poor individuals Whole Body Vibration can be used for strengthening of bone and muscle where they would otherwise do a weights or circuit training schedule.
