Episode notes
From Jiggle Machines To Modern Plates
- Chalene recalls 1970s jiggle machines and compares them to modern vibration plates.
- She notes modern plates work differently because movements are faster and smaller, prompting reflexive muscle contractions.
How Vibration Plates Work
- Vibration plates trigger rapid, tiny movements that make your muscles contract reflexively.
- This activates circulation, the nervous system, and many muscles without strenuous effort.
Match Frequency And Use Regularly
- Check a machine's frequency and use pattern because benefits depend on vibration frequency and session regularity.
- Most home units can deliver the same Hz range as gym machines so you don't need an industrial model.
