Do you want to try out a vibrating platform without spending a lot of money? Flexispot offers a low-cost option for people just getting started using a vibration plate exercise machine.
Flexispot Vibration Platform VS the LifePro Waver:
The Flexispot is very similar in design to the budget-friendly LifePro Waver, but you can save an additional $30. However, you get a shorter warranty.
In addition, the Flexispot vibration plate is slightly smaller in size (4 inches narrower and 1 inch shorter) than the LifePro. This can be an advantage for people who prefer something more compact. On the other hand, taller people may prefer the wider LifePro for a more comfortable stance.
All that said, you can use either model for exercise, boosting circulation, increasing bone density or a gentle massage to release stress. Plus, both platforms include resistance bands to add variety and make your workouts more challenging.
In other words, these machines have a lot of versatility where you can use them for different purposes. However, they don’t provide balance support like the T-Zone Whole Body Vibration Machine or the Rhythm Vibration Platform.
Note: The Flexispot Vibration Plate doesn’t offer advanced features or balance support arms. Plus, it only provides oscillating vibration (up and down). You don’t get a back and forth motion option.
However, this cheap vibration platform offers an affordable way to get started with vibration exercise at home. Not to mention, it’s ultra-portable and compact if you want to move it or use it in multiple locations.
The digital display monitor only shows speed and time, so it’s very basic. For entry-level beginners, though, this may be all you want.
In addition, the package comes with a handy remote control. Therefore, you can adjust the vibration speed setting without dismounting the machine. This also allows you to to start slow at a comfortable speed and then progress to a more challenging level.
How Vibration Plates Can Help Desk Workers:
Do you sit at a desk all day for work? Some health experts recommend getting up and moving your body for a few minutes every hour. Do 5 minutes of movement each hour, and by then end of an 8-hour workday, you’ve finished a 40-minute workout. (Talk about efficient!)
Full-body vibration plates are effective tools that you can use for this. Not only do they get your blood flowing, you can get a quick cardio or strength workout too. (Or, place one under your feet as you sit at your desk.)
Note: On top of that, increased blood circulation can help with focus and energy levels. Get more work done in less time and forgo that afternoon coffee. As you can see, vibration can deliver so many health benefits (even using a cheap device).
