In the Sunday Telegraph's opinion, the Reviber is one of the hottest exercise machines the year.  This easy, time-saving exercise requires just ten minutes a day.

The Reviber is designed to:

• Tone and strengthen muscle
• Stimulate areas affected by a lack of exercise
• Increase bone density
• 5 year motor guarantee and 2 years on all other parts.
• Now comes with or without a stand

Scientists created vibration exercise to prevent astronauts losing muscle and bone mass in space.  Recent university studies have shown that this type of body-conditioning improves muscle strength, increases metabolism, and reduces body fat. It has also been proven to strengthen pelvic floor muscles, improve balance & posture, and increase bone density.

And feedback from users suggests that it also reduces the appearance of cellulite. It is easy to use and feels fantastic – for a great workout you simply spend ten minutes doing passive exercises such as standing and sitting on the machine.

How It Works:

Gravity:   The up-and-down movement of the Reviber means that while you are using it you are literally heavier because of the up-and-down acceleration G-Forces.

Vibration: In addition, the body is exercised by the thousands of small vibrations stretching the muscles, which the body counters with a corresponding contraction.  This stretch reflex works the muscles so thoroughly that the body becomes stronger very quickly.

Studies:

1)  On 25th May 2009 the Irish Mail reported on a study which suggests that, used correctly, vibration plates they’ll not only help you lose weight, but will trim the harmful fat that settles around the internal organs and raises the risk of heart disease. To read the full article click here.

2)  A study on men found that "...the biological mechanism produced by vibration is similar to the effect produced by explosive power training (jumping and bouncing)."

3)  From studies on women the researchers concluded that standing on a vibrating surface is as beneficial as going to the gym for improving leg strength and speed of movement!

Easy & Fun Workout:

The Reviber can be used in a variety of positions to concentrate the beneficial effects on different areas of the body.

Standing
You will probably want to start your exercise session by simply standing on the Reviber. Even without doing further exercises, this will stimulate the muscles in the legs and increase circulation, and it's also the perfect way of warming up before doing squats.

Squats
This is a great exercise to concentrate the effects in the thighs and buttocks.

Sitting
For who find it uncomfortable standing, position the Reviber in front of your chair and place both feet on the top of the machine.  This is great for both blood circulation and for those people that suffer from muscle wastage in their legs.
 
Back Relaxer
Sit on the Reviber and allow your upper body to relax – this vibration should relax your back, hips, thighs, and buttocks.  
 
Upper Body Exerciser
Simply kneel in front of the Reviber and place your hands on top of the machine. This exercises the whole of the upper body and you can do press-ups for further intensity.
