DO NOT USE the Bulletproof Vibe if you have a medical condition that could be affected
by vigorous shaking and vibrations, or are at risk of stroke or heart attack, are pregnant
or may be pregnant, have a history of detached retinas or other retinal/eyeball problems,
have received an intraocular lens implant, or are recovering from recent surgery.
If you experience chest pains, nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, severe joint pains,
or changes in vision or hearing during use, stop using the Bulletproof Vibe immediately
and consult your doctor before continuing.
As with any form of exercise, it is important to maintain adequate hydration.
HELPFUL TIPS
HOW DO I TURN THE BULLETPROOFTM VIBE ON?
Move the switch to the on position.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I USE IT?
Start by using the product 2–3 times per week for only 5–10 minutes each session.
You may increase the duration up to 15 minutes.
DO I DO ANYTHING WHILE ON THE BULLETPROOF VIBE?
The most common (and easiest!) is to simply stand on the Bulletproof Vibe. The
vibrations will travel from the feet through the spine and into the head. Always stand
on the Vibe with your knees bent. It is best to always set your posture with bent
knees so that your head does not shake excessively.
Any movement performed while standing on the Bulletproof Vibe will have increased
benefit! Stretching will be more effective, fitness routines will return better results,
and normally unused muscles or tissues will be stimulated. Try doing standing yoga
poses or stand on one leg. You can also do push-ups with your arms
on the Bulletproof Vibe.

CONCLUSION
Simply use this manual as a guide and a basic road map to your
increased health and well-being. You are limited only by your
imagination, and essentially any technique you perform on the ground
can be done on the Bulletproof Vibe with a greater benefit. It will give
you a brand new perspective on training and exercise all together.
BONUS
One benefit of the machine that is often used, but not widely
discussed, is its ability to deliver a deep-tissue massage effect. This
technique is simple, but requires a foam roller. Begin by taking
an active Bulletproof Vibe and laying a foam roller on top of it.
Next, place whatever muscle you want massaged on top of the foam
roller. You will be taking the power of the vibrational plate and
concentrating it to a smaller area you wish to target. Now, this
technique is very powerful and works extremely well, but is not
comfortable. Anyone who has had a deep tissue massage will tell you it
can be an unpleasant but productive experience. So please be aware
this will open up and relax tight muscles, but it may not feel great
during the process.
THANK YOU AND ENJOY GETTING YOUR VIBE ON!
Congratulations on purchasing your brand new BulletproofTM
Vibe Whole Body Vibration Plate. Just by making this purchase,
you are taking a powerful step toward better health and a
better life. This machine helps strengthen muscles and bones
and enhances recovery after excercise. This investment will
provide many benefits in your journey to upgrade yourself.
SETUP
Setup for the Bulletproof Vibe is as easy as it gets. Simply remove the unit
from its packaging and place it on a level surface, making sure you have
adequate clearance around the Vibe. Plug in the unit, and move the switch
to the on position, and the Vibe is in action. If the noise the unit produces
is a concern, place a rubber mat or a piece of carpet beneath the feet of
the unit. This will reduce some of the vibrational noise the unit produces.
You can also use anti-vibration feet designed for washing machines.
FREQUENCY
It’s best to start by using the product 2–3 times per week for only
5–10 minutes each session. The unit will introduce a new stimulus to
your body, and you should give your body time to adapt to it. After a
week or two you may begin to increase your sessions’ frequency and
duration up to 15 minutes. Continue to proceed with caution and
listen to your body.

WARM-UP/RECOVERY
The Bulletproof Vibe is one of the best tools on the market for
increasing blood flow to muscles pre- and post- workout. This
enhanced blood flow prior to activity warms the muscles and
allows them to operate much more efficiently than with most
other warm-ups. Enhanced blood flow after a workout carries
nutrients to the damaged tissues at an accelerated rate, which
decreases the amount of time necessary for recovery and reduces
exercise-induced soreness. Here are several warm-ups and cool-
downs for you to try at home.
STANDING ON THE VIBE
This technique is as simple as it
sounds. Simply stand on the unit with
knees slightly bent while the Vibe
is active. Always bend your knees
while using the Vibe to minimize any
sensation of shaking in your head.
Shift your weight around to see how
it feels. If you shift weight to your
heels, you may feel more sensation in
your hamstrings, and if you shift your
weight to your toes, you may feel it
more in your thighs. Take note of what
you feel as this can be an effective
way to reduce tightness or soreness in
various muscle groups.
CALVES
While the heel of your right foot is in
contact with the plate, bend your right
knee as far as you can without lifting
your heel off the plate. Hold for 15–30
seconds, repeat 2 times. Then repeat
on the left side.
GOOD MORNING
This movement is excellent for opening the
hamstrings, glutes, and lower back. Start by
standing on the active Bulletproof Vibe with
your feet shoulder-width apart and knees
slightly bent. Begin the stretch by pushing
your hips straight back as far as you can. You
want to keep your shoulders and hips in a
straight line (just like the single leg toe touch).
Hold this stretched position for 15–30 seconds,
then pull the hips forward to relax and repeat.
This stretch should be performed 3 times.

SQUATTING
Possibly the king of all exercises: The
squat activates tremendous amounts
of muscle tissue and is a great tool to
help build proper mobility. To perform
this exercise: stand on the active Vibe
with your feet shoulder-width apart,
with your knees bent.
Next, begin the movement by flexing
your hips and pushing your glutes
toward the wall or space behind you.
After that, begin to bend your knees
and pull your hips toward the ground.
Try to keep your chest and head as
erect as possible. Most people find
it helpful to keep their gaze slightly
above eye level to keep the head in
a neutral position and aid in keeping
the chest up during the movement.
To finish the move, press your feet into
the plate, and use your glutes and
hamstring to drive you back up to the
start position.
The following exercises will give some effective tools to help
increase your strength, balance, coordination and mobility.
The Bulletproof Vibe offers so much bang for the buck,
which is why it’s such an effective biohack!
STRETCHING
The vibrations produced by the Bulletproof Vibe will produce
better range of motion (ROM) than stretching alone. This section
covers movements that will greatly enhance the ROM of the
muscle groups that are generally tighter than they should be.
HIP STRETCH
Get a yoga mat or blanket and place
it on top of the active Vibe. Start
the stretch by placing your right
shin on top of the blanket or mat.
Your left leg should be out in front
of you as if you are kneeling on one
knee. Begin the stretch by elevating
your chest and pressing your hips
forward. Push forward till you feel
a slight stretch in your hip flexor or
belt area. Hold this position for 15–30
seconds, then press your hips back
and relax. Repeat this process 2–3
times on the right leg, then switch to
the left. (Some people find it helpful
to lift the arm of the leg that they
are stretching. This will open the line
of the body and allow for a greater
stretch to occur.)

ADVANCED BALANCE AND STRENGTHENING TECHNIQUES
After you gain confidence and feel comfortable with the exercises on
the previous pages, you can gain new perspective with these advanced
balancing and strengthening exercises on the Bulletproof Vibe. Regular,
boring exercises are spiced up and made much more effective during
whole body vibration. Your muscles will respond more intensely and
effectively to these exercises and will give you much more overall benefit.
SINGLE LEG SQUAT
This technique is the cousin to the squat
exercise, but you will be performing this
technique one leg at a time! Doing this
reduces the surface area and amount
of muscle used to stabilize oneself
during the movement. The single
leg squat will cause a high level of
muscular contraction in the active limb
and challenge the vestibular (balance)
system to a higher degree.
To perform the exercise, start by
standing on the Vibe with both feet
directly under your hips. Next, lift one
leg off the plate, you may place the
lifted leg in front of, or behind your
body. Begin the movement the same
way as before by flexing your hips and
pulling the body down. To finish the
move, drive the foot into the plate and
drive yourself back to the top. Repeat
the process on the other leg.
REAR FOOT
ELEVATED LUNGE
To start this movement, stand on the
floor 1–2 feet away from the Bulletproof
Vibe, with your back facing the unit.
Then reach your right leg back to the
active plate, placing the ball of the foot
on top of the unit (in a lunge position).
While keeping your chest up and erect,
you will perform the movement by
pulling your right knee down toward the
ground. The knee on your front leg will
bend, allowing your body to come down
until your hips and front knee are at the
same level. To finish the movement you
will use your glutes and hamstrings to
lift you back up to the lunge position.
SINGLE LEG TOE TOUCH
This technique will strengthen and open
the hamstring and aid in increasing
mobility through the hip and ankle joint.
Begin by standing on one foot with your
knee slightly bent. The elevated or non-
working leg should be bent and kept
behind your body. Initiate the movement
by pressing the hips back while keeping
your shoulders in line with your hips
(Think of a bar going from your hips to
your shoulders, keeping your torso in a
straight line). This is how you want your
upper body to move through the range
of motion. Then, reach for your toes on
the planted foot with both hands.
Do not deviate the position
of your upper body for
the sake of touching your
toes. Keeping the body in
proper alignment will deliver
a better end result than
cheating to touch your toe.
To finish, use the glutes and
hamstrings to pull you back
up to the start position.
