The VBX 4000 is a vibration exercise machine designed to provide a comprehensive workout experience through various vibration modes and customizable programs. It is intended for users seeking to improve muscle contraction, circulation, reduce inflammation, and aid in muscle recovery.
The VBX 4000 utilizes two primary types of vibration: 'H' (horizontal) and 'L' (linear). The 'H' vibration is a triangular oscillation, primarily beneficial for muscle contraction and providing a workout. The 'L' vibration is a more subtle spiral vibration, offering therapeutic benefits such as improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and assistance with muscle recovery. The machine allows for the use of both vibration modes simultaneously, which intensifies their combined effects.
The device features a control panel with a display that shows various parameters, including pulse, linear vibration time, linear vibration speed, horizontal vibration time, and horizontal vibration speed. It offers both manual and automatic program modes. In manual mode, users can adjust the vibration time and speed for both linear and horizontal vibrations. The automatic programs (P1, P2, P3) are preset routines designed to vary speed and vibration modes over a set duration. Additionally, the machine supports user-defined programs via a USB flash drive, allowing for extensive customization of workout routines.
Before starting any program, users are advised to check the exercise speed to ensure it is at a safe and comfortable level. Holding the safety handle is recommended to maintain balance, especially during the initial stages. A recommended gap of 30cm between the feet is suggested for initial use.
The machine's operation is straightforward, involving inserting the power plug, preparing for the desired posture on the vibration plate, and pressing the START button. In automatic program modes, the speed is automatically adjusted at preset intervals, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
The VBX 4000 includes a puls-i-meter function. By holding the metal sheets on the handrail when the machine is stopped, the pulse light will flicker, displaying the user's pulse. This feature requires the metal sheets to be clean and dry for accurate readings.
The device offers flexibility in workout intensity and duration. Different users, such as elderly individuals or elite athletes, can adjust speeds to suit their fitness levels. It is recommended to start at lower speeds (below 30) for the first few weeks and gradually increase intensity. Experimenting with varying speeds, as offered by the preset programs, provides different stimuli to the body. For consistent speed workouts, users can hold five different positions for 1-2 minutes each. When speeds vary, users can stand with straight legs, slowly bend their knees, hold the position, and return to the starting position.
For optimal results, it is suggested to use the machine twice daily: a consistent speed session in the morning and a varying speed session in the evening. A minimum 15-20 minute break between sessions is recommended. Users should also ensure at least one day of rest per week. It is crucial not to overdo the exercise, especially in the beginning, to avoid muscle cramping. The manufacturer strongly advises drinking at least 20oz of water after each use.
Proper maintenance is essential for the longevity and safe operation of the VBX 4000. Before cleaning, the machine must be turned off, and the power cord unplugged. It is strictly prohibited to use corrosive cleaners, benzene, thinner, or insecticide on the machine.
When the machine is not in use, it should be turned off and unplugged to conserve energy and reduce the risk of fire. To protect the vibration plate from dust accumulation, a cover should be used.
Users are cautioned against coiling the power cords, as this can lead to machine malfunction and damage to the cords. The machine should not be operated with wet hands to prevent electric shock. It should not be stored near heat, open flames, in direct sunlight, high temperatures, or humidity. Sharp tools should not be used on the vibration plate. The machine should not be used 30 minutes before or after eating a meal, nor should it be used for any purpose other than exercise. Operating the machine in wet areas, such as bathrooms, is also prohibited due to the risk of electrical shock. The device is designed for single-person use; operating it with more than one person at a time may result in injury or machine damage.
