Vibration machines, also called shaking machines or shaking platforms, use whole-body vibrations to force your muscles to contract reflexively. They're available in some gyms and are sold for home use. Generally, people perform exercises like squats, pushups, or crunches on these machines while they're vibrating.

One of the most popular vibration plate benefits is its ability to aid weight loss. As little as 10 minutes a day on a vibration plate can help you achieve your weight loss goals. As using a vibration plate turns up the intensity of your normal workout, it boosts your metabolism so you'll burn fat at a higher rate.
