Fitstar V620 Vibrating Exercise Machine

The Fitstar V620 Vibrating Exercise Machine offers whole body vibration for the home, the same as what is being used by professional teams and others who believe WBV offers an additional strength training method. While standing on the vibrating platform your whole body vibrates, causing your muscle fibers to contract like they do when lifting weights, but at a much higher frequency. The straighter you stand the higher and stronger you feel the vibrations, but it is better to bend your knees slightly to keep the vibrations in your lower half, where they are more beneficial. The Fitstar V620 offers 8 speeds, 3 program modes and 1 manual mode, simple operation with variable time settings and adjustable handle bar heights. Power is 110 volts 60 Hz 2.5 amps, amperage start up is 0.45 amps.
