General Information and Warnings
Training with a vibration plate is a very comprehensive training method, which in addition to infl uencing the
muscles it also infl uences the rest of the body. For example, blood circulation is stimulated, and body metabo-
lism is improved. For some years, professional and top athletes have used vibration equipment in training for its
intensive and eff ective athletic eff ects, and for therapeutic purposes.
In fi tness gyms vibration plates are now often found and they are becoming increasingly popular and enjoyed by
more and more users. Due to the gentle but also highly eff ective training with vibration plates, many physiother-
apy practices use these devices to build muscles up again after injuries or for rehabilitation purposes. With the
appropriate professional advice from your therapist, you can now use a vibration plate at home for both thera-
peutic and sport training purposes.
Please keep in mind when planning your workouts that training with a vibration plate, while being very gentle on
the body, is still very intense. Therefore, give your body enough time to rest between each individual training.
In addition to the intensive and eff ective muscle training provided by a vibration plate, it also has other, very
positive eff ects on the body.
For example, this type of training has a major impact on bone density. The metabolism is optimally stimulated by
the vibrations, and this can have a positive eff ect on the fat loss.
If the following points apply to you, you should always clarify in advance with your doctor, if and how training
with a vibration plate could be good for you:
If you have any medical conditions, restrictions or complaints that are not mentioned here, please discuss with
your consulting doctor or therapist if and how you should train on this device before you start training.

Training Manual
ENG
Please read and follow the instructions below before you start training on the vibra-
tion plate:
1. Assembly and Operating Manual
Before you start with training please read and familiarise yourself with the General Information and Warn-
ings and the Safety Instructions contained in the Assembly and Operating Manual.
2. Always have your knees slightly bent!
Do not stand on the vibration plate with your legs straight. Always bend your knees.
With your knees bent the vibrations become more absorbed in your body and therefore reduced in strength
before reaching your head.
3. Do not take any risks!
f you have any health issues (e.g. back pain) please consult your doctor before you start with vibration
training. If you are pregnant you must avoid vibration training completely.
4. Drink enough!
Your body requires enough liquids. You should therefore drink at least 0.3 litres of water or fruit juice mixed
with water before training.
5. Start slowly!
Your training program should start at 2 x per week for 10 minutes. Start with a low frequency/speed and
increase it very slowly.
6. Don’t forget to take care of your cardiovascular system!
As vibration training hardly involves any cardiovascular activity, we recommend that you also take some
cardiovascular exercise in addition to your vibration training.
