History:

The concept of Whole Body Vibration was developed for the Russian Cosmonauts in an effort to combat muscle atrophy, bone density loss, and blood clotting during extended periods of exposure to zero gravity. Decades of research and endorsements indicate that this innovative machine produces effective results. The motion of the vibration platform causes the brain to tell the muscles to actively contract to maintain equilibrium. Scientists first discovered the positive effects that vibration technology had on strengthening muscles, increasing flexibility, and improving bone density, further research indicated that vibration therapy may provide many other benefits in a variety of areas.

Technology:

The Noblerex K-1 Platinum Whole Body Vibration Exercise Machine provides isometric anaerobic exercise through the use of whole body vibration. The Noblerex K-1 Platinum improves upon this vibration by utilizing the Triangular Oscillating System (T.O.S.).

The Triangular Oscillating System provides a gentle rocking motion rather than just up and down movement as a way of reducing the impact on joints and ligaments.There is a substantial difference between T.O.S. and ‘piston’ or ‘tri-planar’ vibration used by many other vibration machines that can cause stress to those areas. The T.O.S. used by the K-1 Platinum generates systematic involuntary muscle contraction with less G force than the piston driven tri-planar systems, designed to cause less stress on the joints and ligaments. This pleasant rocking motion causes the brain to tell the muscles of your body to actively contract to maintain equilibrium, thus creating a therapeutic and muscle toning workout. This unique Triangular Oscillating System provides all the benefits of whole body vibration with minimal risk of damage to the body, making it a safe and efficient source of exercise, wellness, and therapy. back to top

Features:

A remote control is included with the Noblerex K-1 Platinum for ease of use personally or with trainer assistance. There are three auto settings for beginning, intermediate and advanced users along with ten manual settings for more specific intensity adjustment. Hand straps are included for additional upper body work out options. The Noblerex K-1 Platinum Whole Body Vibration Exercise Machine is commercially rated and can be used for extended periods of time in clinical or health club type settings, yet it is compact enough to be used at home.

Usage:

Maximum results are achieved with just 10 minutes of vibration exercise at least three times per week. Using the Noblerex K-1 Platinum Whole Body Vibration Exercise Machine for 10 minutes is considered to be equivalent to 60 minutes of resistance training, or working out at the gym. Over 80 different exercises can be produced by making minor adjustments to body positioning making the K-1 Platinum one of the easiest and most convenient ways to get in shape and maintain good health.

Benefits:

The K-1 Platinum enables users to experience a relatively simple and convenient method of exercise. Maximum benefits are achieved with just 10 minutes of use per day. The Noblerex K-1 Platinum Whole Body Vibration Exercise Machine is designed for Fitness, Health, and Therapy.

For Fitness:

Vibration exercise is an excellent alternative to traditional exercise with benefits including increased muscle mass, improved circulation, flexibility, range of motion, balance, and mobility. Lose weight more effectively by increasing lean muscle mass. Studies show that increasing lean muscle mass makes the body more fuel efficient by burning more calories throughout the entire day; not just during a workout. The more calories the body is able to burn, the higher the potential is for dramatic weight loss.

"I lost 30lbs in 3 months! Thank you K-1 Platinum!" J.R., MI

With whole body vibration, hundreds of muscle contractions per minute create an invigorating workout designed to increase lean muscle mass and firm muscles to create an overall effect of a more toned, firm, and healthy body. Using the Noblerex K-1 Platinum Whole Body Vibration Exercise Machine to tone muscles and increase lymphatic drainage may help fight off cellulite while the improved circulation induced during vibration therapy may be able to tighten the skin.

"During my amazing weight loss, my body became more toned and thanks to the Noblerex K-1, even my skin firmed up!" Tricia, OH

The imbalance caused by the gentle rocking vibration of the TOS is designed to increase flexibility, range of motion, balance, and mobility.

For Health:

Increase bone density with whole body vibration exercise as it was originally designed to do by one of the world's leading space programs. There have been worldwide scientific studies completed on whole body vibration systems that indicate high success rates in treating osteoporosis. The potential for an increase in bone mineral density while using the Noblerex K-1 Platinum Whole Body Vibration Exercise Machine is a viable solution to prevent further bone loss and to help combat osteoporosis.

"Vibration exercise is a type of exercise that has recently been developed for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. It elicits neuromuscular training reflectorily, without much effort and in short periods. .(vibration exercise) has been reported as a successful countermeasure against loss of bone mineral (Flieger et al., 1998)." J. Rittweger et al. 1999

An increase in circulation and lymphatic drainage may help to cleanse toxic buildup from the body and increase oxygenation in the blood. The multiple muscle contractions per second create an increase in blood circulation and movement in the lymph system. Increased circulation, lymphatic drainage, and increased muscle strength may reduce pain and stiffness and alleviate symptoms of fibromyalgia, arthritis, and other pain.

"I've had poor circulation in my lower legs & feet and that condition has definitely improved significantly with use of the Noblerex K-1" Lucretia, OR

Whole body vibration has been known to help facilitate natural hormones and nerve delivery substances, showing an increase in serotonin while decreasing cortisol, a hormone produced by stress. Elevated serotonin helps to create a feeling of wellbeing, while the decrease in cortisol may reduce 'belly fat' caused by stress.

"Using the K1 on a regular basis raises my serotonin levels ... it curbs my cravings for sugar and chocolate and inspires me to eat healthier!" Judy, AZ

For Therapy:

Neuromuscular reeducation is possible in applicable situations, such as with MS, CP, or after a stroke. Seeking advice from a physician familiar with whole body vibration exercise therapy is recommended.

"I'm walking up the hill again and the cane is in the closet! Thank you Noblerex K-1 Platinum" 72 yr old stroke patient, CA

Elevated levels of HGH have been indicated with use of vibration therapy. These elevated levels have been shown to help the body heal and repair after injury or surgery. The Noblerex K-1 Platinum may also help in treating athletic injuries, as well as providing a sports massage effect, due to the hormone secretion ratio that is involved with growth and recovery.

Weight loss/firm/tone
As a single mom of two kids with no time to work out and 8 hours a day behind a desk, I realized that I was no longer in shape and definitely overweight. I was tired of feeling 'stuffed' into my clothes and being afraid to wear a swimsuit. I started to use the Noblerex K-1 Platinum Whole Body Vibration Exercise Machine for just 10 minutes on my lunch hour. The feeling of working out (without the time, sweat, and pain!!) was terrific. The boost in serotonin made me feel great and helped me to make better choices in what I ate. The arthritis pain in my knees decreased so much that taking walks and bike rides with the kids became fun again. I lost 30lbs in 3 months! That's a size 14 down to a 6 - I feel terrific! I'm more toned and firm now than I was before kids! It's been over a year now since I first stepped onto the K-1. I use the K-1 at least 5 times per week, just once a day for 10 minutes. The weight is staying off and I feel better than ever.

Overall Health
I have been on my new K-1 Platinum all of 3 week now, twice a day, and I do say I am stronger than maybe ever in my 57 years. I have walked many miles a day for years, and since the K-1 I've noted my legs and arms are more fluid and stronger and have more swing to them. I walk up hills with much more ease. My sleep is deeper. I was back country skiing the other night and started to fall forward, I found myself in a crouched position almost sitting, flying down a meadow saying to myself in wonder "My legs have never held me up like this before". In the past it would have been a crash and snow. And the positive compliments I gotten from friends about my posture and color, it's all good. I've reaped many befits in a very short time. Wonderful! I wonder what am I going to be like after a year's time on this machine? Superman? Great product. Thanks

Physical Therapy
I have had an increasingly painful, frozen left shoulder for the past 18 months. Just raising my arm over my head resulted in muscle spasms that went down my deltoid muscles all the way to my elbow. Very painful. I couldn't even reach behind my back to try to stretch the arm any longer. No amount of massage or cranio-sacral work would relieve it. I began using the Noblerex K-1 Platinum Whole Body Vibration Exercise Machine as gently as I could, while still pushing my mobility. After only 3 weeks of daily use, the pain is almost gone completely, and I have full mobility back in my left arm. Wow. I bought the machine to assist me in my weight-loss program, which it is definitely accomplishing. This was a most-welcomed side benefit. I'm very grateful. Thank-you,
