The ‘H’ (horizontal) vibration is the triangular oscillation vibration, which is good for
muscle contraction. This type of vibration is the one that gives you a workout.
The ‘L’ (linear) vibration is the more subtle spiral vibration, which is more therapeutic
than the ‘H’ vibration. It helps improve circulation, reduce inflammation, assists with
muscle recovery, etc.
Using both vibrations at once intensifies the effect of each vibration. There really isn’t a
“magic” way to use the machine; the most important part is using it consistently –
which is how you’ll see the best results.
Different users will use the machine at different speeds. An elderly person, for example,
would use the machine at lower speeds while an elite athlete would use higher speeds.
As a general recommendation, start out at speeds below 30 for the first few weeks of
use and slowly go faster and faster as your body allows. Experimenting with varying
speeds is also good to do, as different speeds affect your body differently. This is where
the preset programs (P1-3) come in handy – they change the speed automatically and
frequently, which gives your body a different stimulus than simply maintaining a
consistent speed. When keeping the speed consistent, pick five (5) different positions
(see pg. 9-12) and hold each position for 1-2 minutes. When the speed varies, stand
with legs straight, bend your knees slowly, hold it, and return to the starting position.
It’s recommended to use the machine twice per day: in the morning, use a consistent
speed, and in the evening, utilize the varying speeds. Be sure to give your body at least
one day of rest per week. Be careful not to overdo it in the beginning; this is a common
mistake.
