Congratulations on the purchase of your LifeSpan vibration plate.
We all know that exercise is a key component to achieving the level of Health and Wellness that
all of us desire. Regular activity prevents the development of numerous diseases, helps to reduce
stress, leads to an improved self image, weight loss and increased energy levels.
Vibration technology is adding a new component to the world of exercise that is a wonderful
complement to traditional cardiovascular exercise and strength training. Vibration technology is
relatively new to the fitness industry but the technology has been around for a long time.
Significant medical research on vibration technology was completed in the 1980’s and continues
today. This research has validated benefits including improved strength and flexibility, increased
bone density, and improved hormone levels.
There is also research showing that vibration technology can be overused both in terms of how long
you exercise during each session and how frequently you exercise. For beginning exercisers we
recommend keeping your sessions to 10 minutes or less and even for the physically fit sessions
should not exceed 15 minutes. In terms of frequency, do not exceed 3 sessions per week.
Before starting a new exercise program, please consult your physician and read this manual in its
entirety. It includes basic information on proper use of your vibration plate, safety tips, and operating
instructions.
To keep your vibration plate in optimal condition, please pay attention to the maintenance and
cleaning section of this manual and remember that some kinds of service should only be performed
by a qualified technician. If customer service is required at any time please contact us at:
