Do vibration plates actually work?

Yes, with caveats. Peer-reviewed research supports benefits for balance, flexibility, bone density in elderly populations, and post-exercise recovery. However, marketing claims about massive weight loss or muscle building from vibration alone are exaggerated. They work best as a supplement to regular exercise.

How long should I use a vibration plate?

Start with 10-minute sessions, 3 times per week. Advanced users can go up to 15-20 minutes. Do not exceed 30 minutes in a single session. Perform exercises on the plate — squats, planks, lunges — rather than just standing still for maximum benefit.
