Noblerex K-1 Vibration Training Versus Lifting Weights

Sometimes, people checking out the Noblerex K-1 and Total Body Exercise will ask: why not play it safe and stick with tried and true weight training and cardio?

Sure, that might seem like a good idea but it’s missing out on the greatest discovery in physical fitness and human performance.  Remember that Russia set a World Record for the longest stay in space of 420 days using Whole Body Machines.  The US on the other hand relied on the best conventional exercise machines and fitness trainers money could buy and had to return after just 120 days.

What vibration plate training with the Noblerex K-1 can do is to stimulate your muscles into a repeated involuntary stretch reflex (a.k.a. a contract and release pattern).  This involuntary stretch reflex is controlled by the spinal cord.  Conventional training, on the other hand, involves voluntary muscle movement controlled by our brain.  Creating an involuntary stretch reflex provides a number of benefits for our bodies but the most important when it comes to building muscle and getting lean are:

1. The number of stretch reflexes per minute is very high (7-28 times per second) and this is far higher in shorter periods of time than what’s possible with conventional exercise routines.
2. Involuntary muscle contractions engage around 97% of your muscle fibers compared with only 40% under conventional exercise conditions.  This really raises the ceiling on your fitness potential.
3. The repetition rate is completely user adjustable, allowing you to use the Noblerex to achieve a complete range of benefits including:  massage, joint rehabilitation, toning, flexibility, balance, weight loss, strengthening in static poses (i.e. yoga), developing involuntary muscles (i.e. your core) and building of muscle – all the time boosting circulation and lymphatic flow.
4. Whole body vibration training has also been shown to increase testosterone up to up to 7%.   Testosterone is a natural steroid absolutely crucial to building muscle, allowing fast-twitch muscle fibers to fully recover at a quicker rate, and increasing energy, among other things.

As you get stronger, or if you’re already pretty strong, of course, you can add weights, medicine balls, elastic bands, etc. to your exercise time on the machine.  Hand straps are included with the Noblerex K-1 to allow a full range of upper body workout options.

Don’t forget the research too:

• Exercising using Whole Body Vibration systems has been found to boost your muscle strength by 50% in just 3 weeks!
• A 12-week study found that strength increases from an average of 10 minutes of vibration training were similar to those seen in an hour of regular resistance training. (Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2003; 35 (6); 1033-1041)

Conventional exercise and muscle training require discipline, considerable time, and countless repetitions.  In addition, there is growing concern about the effect of lifting heavy weights on the joints, ligaments, and tendons of the body.  Whole body vibration training with the Noblerex K1 is an effective, proven method of strength training without these constraints.

To me it’s like comparing a kitchen aid blender to a high power blender like the Vitamix.  There’s just no comparing the kind of smoothies, ice cream, juices, etc you can make with nor the number of decades the Vitamix will last!!  Sure the Vitamix is a $500 blender, but by the time you go through 4 or more blenders you bought at Target or wherever, you learn that it’s worth the investment.  And once you see the results with the food and your diet you’re in love!
