How To Get Your Best Workout On A Noblerex K1
The Noblerex K1 Platinum has been used by thousands of people to get stronger, leaner, more toned, more flexible, and more balanced. It has also helped them improve their bone density, blood oxygenation, and circulation. Using the machine for even just 10 minutes has been found to have the same effect as 60 minutes of conventional resistance training. What’s more, whole body vibration has also been found to improve other areas of health such as hormonal health and lymphatic health.
Now how are you supposed to exercise on a Noblerex K1? It depends on your current fitness level and what your goals are, of course, but here are 5 different ways you can create your own workout on this machine:
1. The easiest way to use the Noblerex K1 is by standing on the platform and moving your body around while not moving your feet. You can use the handles if you’d like, then simply move your hips from left to right, and front to back; do some squats, and then lean your upper body forward and back. You’ll find there is a lot you can do with your feet firmly planted in the same spot. As you do this, you will feel different muscles being engaged and toned. You’re effectively tricking your body into thinking you are doing a lot of different exercises in order for all of these different muscle fibers to be stimulated. Every exercise in which you are standing on the machine will be working out your abs so that’s a bonus. This machine does the hard work for you in this method, allowing you to keep the movement simple.
2. Many people like to change the level while they exercise in order to challenge themselves and to make sure their muscles don’t get too used to a particular speed. You might want to use a pyramid method by starting low and then high and back to low, or you might want to start low and increase a level throughout your workout. The Automodes settings are perfect if you don’t want to think about it; these change the levels automatically. The more you use the machine, you will also note that certain levels work better for certain goals. The levels 1-5 are ideal for warming up and cooling down, creating a massage effect, and doing therapeutic exercise. The levels 6-10 are ideal for body toning, strength, and weight loss. Remember that these are not hard and fast rules. Most people will feel challenged at level 1 or 2 at first so take your time moving up and make sure to give your body time to get used to the vibration. If you feel challenged at level 1 – good! It just means you have lots of room to grow.
3. You can change the distance of your feet from the center of the platform. With pivotal/oscillating vibration machines like this one, you are in complete control of the amplitude (the rise and fall of the platform edges) while you’re on it. The closer your feet are to the center of the platform, the less muscle extension is required and you may prefer this if just starting out with vibration exercise. As you become stronger and more flexible though, you can place your feet nearer to the edges of the platform to make the workout more challenging. You will feel the intensity of the vibration a lot more with your feet at the edge.
4. If you need to focus on certain areas such as thighs, butt, arms, etc, you should choose a position that works that area best. You may need to try a few different exercises to figure this out. Start by holding the position if possible for 1-2 minutes, depending on your strength. Some great exercises to try out are the squat, straight-armed plank, forearm plank, lunge, calf raise, and triceps dip. Use a digital timer so you know exactly how long you can possibly hold it and record this number as your best time for this position. From there, your aim is to hold it for a few seconds longer each time. Holding positions like this is called a static hold. You can also do dynamic moves, where you move in a slow and controlled manner the entire time. These can be quite challenging to do as well. Some examples of dynamic exercises are pushups, lunges, step-ups, and triceps dips.
5. Depending on your current fitness level, you can increase your vibration training from 10 minutes a day to 10-20 minutes twice a day. But make sure you give your muscles 24-48 hours of rest between these more intense sessions. As you get stronger, you can also add in hand weights, medicine balls, resistance bands, or other accessories to your workout. Upper body straps come with the Noblerex to provide more upper body workout choices as well.
After using your whole body vibration machine for a few weeks, rest assured you will develop your own favorite workout routines. The Noblerex K1 vibration trainer includes an exercise poster as well as an instructional DVD to show you over 30 different exercises to get started with.
