The VT100 in your home or office
The VibraTrim VT100 has a compact, comfortable design which is perfect for use in your home.
The user-friendly display panel allows even inexperienced users to begin training immediately.
Sit, stand or even lie on the vibration plate while doing simple weight-bearing exercises such
as push-ups, sit-ups and stretching. Whether you want to retune your golf swing, trim your
body, improve your fitness and flexibility, build up your muscles or simply improve your general
health the VibraTrim will help you reach your goals.
The VibraTrim increases flexibility, co-ordination and circulation, toning all parts of the body
through vibration training – a method used by astronauts by developing their muscles and
helping them to prepare for the unusual stresses and strains their bodies will be exposed to in
space.
The effects of the VibraTrim can be literally out of this world, benefiting anti-ageing by staving
off the dreaded orange peel effect of cellulite.
How does it work?
The movement of the vibration plate simulates the body’s natural stretch reflex. This is similar to
the knee jerk reaction that occurs when the knee is tapped by a reflex hammer in a doctor’s
office. Without thinking your body responds with a strong involuntary muscle contraction
forcing your leg to kick out. With the VibraTrim technology these strong muscle contractions can
be repeated at a rapid rate. Due to the involuntary effect on the muscle contraction, nearly
100% of the muscle fibers are recruited. Compare this to conventional training where there is
only on average 40% muscle recruitment. This benefits the rehabilitation patient looking to add
stability and strength to all muscles around their joints and for the athlete looking to maximize
strength gains.
The gentle contractions allow the muscle to work as a pump introducing blood to even the
smallest blood vessels. This leads to the ability of the body to carry off the waste products
much faster leading to increase peripheral circulation. At the same time the body is also
eliminating other toxins due to the increase of lymphatic drainage that has also occurred.
