Introduction - Performance HyperVibe User Instructions

INTRODUCTION

The PERFORMANCE vibration machine has been developed here in Australia by a team of health
and technical professionals. This model is suitable for home through to light commercial use, and has
been designed for adults of all ages and all levels of fitness and abilities. This machine should be used
similarly to other gym equipment, in the sense that everyone has their own preferences and
capabilities and should become aware of them.
When training, we recommend you use the PERFORMANCE for no longer than 10 minutes a day and
no more than 3-4 times a week, a 10 minute session gives you maximum results. We suggest you
choose a program that is best suited to the goals you wish to achieve, and start using the machine
gradually. Hold each position for a maximum of 30 seconds and increase the duration if you feel
comfortable doing so, this will allow your body to explore its limitations. Please watch the instructional
DVD before using the PERFORMANCE.
In today's age of fast food, automation, and convenience, as a society we are becoming increasingly
inactive and overweight. The team at Hypervibe, are working to promote a healthy lifestyle through
regular exercise and movement. The PERFORMANCE uses Whole Body Vibration Technology, and
is designed for people who want to make exercise a part of their lifestyle, but may be limited by their
time, equipment or ability to do so using conventional exercise. Others may want use the machine to
compliment their regular exercise routine, and/or to accelerate and maximize results.
When we train in the gym using conventional training, we do this by contracting our muscles and
relaxing them over and over again with some sort of load for resistance. That load can be created with
weights, hydraulic machines or by simply using your own body weight to create a load e.g. push up's.
When using the PERFORMANCE platform you can induce muscle contractions up to 27 times per
second. This is why a full workout on a vibration platform can be achieved in a very short period of
time, and also why you should not exceed the recommended workout durations.
Of course, the PERFORMANCE is not only designed for working out, but also has numerous
therapeutic uses also. At low speeds, the gentle rocking action of the platform improves your balance,
and is great for the elderly and injury rehabilitation. Likewise, speeds slightly higher, can be excellent
for massage, circulation and recovery. At these lower therapeutic speeds, the machine can be used
more often than the recommended 10 minutes per session, 3-4 times per week.
Because of the numerous applications and benefits of the PERFORMANCE, it makes an invaluable
addition to your home gym, studio or practice, which cannot be matched by conventional training
apparatus.
