I have some problems with my joints and bones, so i've done some research and found this.. vibration fitness machine thingy. It says that it does the work for you and helps people who have joint problems and injuries. Anyone tried those before? Do they work?

I don't know what problems you have, but any effort of yourself will help. -------------- Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success. Ivan (GO HABS GO!)

For it's price though... -------------- SQUAT MORE ~Jesse Marunde Blood Guts Sweat Chalk

Basically you increase metabolism and help muscle growth and toning without strain on joints. I can only judge from what the website says, and it sounds pretty cool on it. Just wanted to see if anyone tried this before and what their ideas are...

So basically your muscles are not just struggling against the weight, but trying to keep stable as well. Right now my gym is trying to sell EVERYONE on vibration training. But If I were you, I'd stick to the basics for now. Save the vibration training for when you plateau.

I was told to take Osteo Bi-Flex even though I don't have arthiritis and it has done wonders. I can't remember the last time they felt this good. They don't hurt after cardio or lifting anymore and I can come home from work and not take a ton of pain pills. -------------- Josh Morris

I'm guessing that any exercise done on the vibration plate would be a lot more effective, since, as you said, your muscles have to work to keep balance. Cool! Thanks for the ideas...
