More About A3 Vibration
Personal light commercial and commercial
units available now!
Exercising with a Vibration Plate is fast effective
affordable and most of all safe.
Until recently the cost to really evolve your
training methods with the use of professional
vibration training machines was too prohibitive!
Pivotal Health Solutions is now able to offer you
the A3 Vibration Plates for only a fraction of the
price of similar products.
It is well known that WBV is fantastic for -
rehabilitation -delaying the on-set of
osteoporosis -improving circulation and blood
flow - toning muscles and -strengthening joints
and ligaments -increasing calorie burning poten-
tial - bone density as well as -improving your
mental state -aiding restful sleep -reducing
stress and -enhancing overall happiness. All
of these benefits are now available in a much
quicker time with the use of WBV.
The A3 Whole Body Vibration units:
WBV is based on a system used by NASA to help
its astronauts build muscle and bone density in
space. Decades of research and use by profes-
sional athletes and celebrities ensure that this
innovative machine produces effective results.
Research suggests that whole body vibration or
WBV with the precise frequency levels between
20 to 50 Hz is necessary to increase blood flow
and tissue temperature increase bone density
and increase muscle strength and flexibility by
stimulating muscle spindles motor neuron
activity and isometric muscle contractions. The
highest muscle reflex response occurs between
20Hz to 50Hz. The A3 Vibration Training System
operates at all these levels in 5Hz intervals
(20Hz 25Hz 30Hz 35Hz 40Hz 45Hz and 50 Hz).
This fantastic range allows you to tone any
muscle in the desired way and the desired fre-
quency.
The vibration produced by these machines
penetrates the body to stimulate a natural
reflexive response within the muscle which
leads to a high level of muscle activation
and exertion.
The vibration plate makes the muscles work
harder than conventional workouts in a much
shorter timeframe. This means that less time is
required to work muscle groups completely and
results come faster.
You can perform virtually any exercise on this
platform; static or dynamic movements including
standing sitting kneeling lying and placing your
hands on it.
Using the Vibration training for just 10 minutes
per day three times per week can compare to 60
minutes of conventional training with weights in
a fitness facility. Training on the V1000 is similar
to any other form of training – it just uses only a
third of the time. You start with easy short train-
ing sessions and gradually progress to a more in-
tense program. Increasing the intensity of the
training you will achieve a stronger body. The
use of the machine can be adjusted according to
your objectives as well as your physical condi-
tion sex and age.
Health and Wellness:
The increased metabolic rate as a result of using
this machine results in calories being burnt.
In addition vibration training helps to develop
leaner muscle tissue which improves the body's
tone. In combination with lymphatic drainage and
increased blood circulation; both outcomes of
vibration; enhanced training and conditioning
is achieved.
Mental Effects:
Besides the physiological effects vibration
training has also proven to have a positive effect
on the mental level. A higher output of serotonin
higher output of testosterone and lower output of
stress hormones are reported in the research.
Rehabilitation:
Vibration treatment is being hailed not only as a
way to get fit faster but due to its non – impact
nature is also used as a means of resisting
recovery from sore muscles and other soft tissue
conditions by reducing pain and increasing
circulation to inflicted joints.
The A3 Vibration Training units essentially offer
a complete workout at a fraction of the time of
traditional methods through its use of vibration
technology. Pivotal Health Solutions offers 3
different levels of performance in their A3
vibration line of products: Home/Office- for
home users and or a smaller office-for health
and wellness programs smaller lighter patients
geriatric care general practice.
Office – for the busy office that treats lots of
athletes heavier people sports practices.
Commercial – perfect for institutional facilities
gyms High school/College teams. All units have
the same frequency range yet vary in amplitude
of platform movement size and max. user
weight.
Each unit comes with a console that walks you
through the workout with LED graphic action
displays so you don’t need to have an expensive
personal trainer to show you what to do!
The easy to use consoles have buttons to adjust
the time and/or intensity of the workout to
ensure total personalization of each session
and the easy click programs allow you to focus
on various body areas.
The LED window shows you what to do with the
figure description being shown on the console to
ensure you are doing the right activity. Specific
programs included are:
· Upper Body Workout - this targets the upper
body particularly allowing you to concentrate on
those key upper body areas.
· Lower Body Workout - As before this targets
the legs gluts calf muscles ankle knee and hip
joints and really works those key area's to tone
and strengthen
· Abdominals - This is targeted as shaping up
and improving the trunk area as well as fighting
off those love handles and strengthening the core
muscles and lower back region
· Total Body Workout - This allows a general
focus over the whole body to give an all over
general toning and training workout.
· Manual - This allows you to completely
customize your workout to focus any specific
area's which is ideal for you have an area of
concern that you want to address.
Using revolutionary technology once only
available to elite athletes and since adopted
by commercial gymnasiums and health studios
the whole line of A3 vibration plates are now
available from Pivotal Health Solutions!
