The Wayflex Shake It is a versatile fitness device designed to enhance your workout routine through vibration technology and various exercise modes. Its primary function is to provide a comprehensive fitness experience, combining cardio, strength training, and flexibility exercises, all while leveraging the benefits of whole-body vibration. The device is intended for home use and aims to help users improve overall circulation, increase body toning, enhance flexibility, boost metabolism, and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
The core function of the Wayflex Shake It revolves around its vibration plate, which generates oscillations to stimulate muscles and promote various physiological responses. This vibration technology is integrated into different workout programs, allowing users to engage in both aerobic step workouts and strength training. The device features a digital display and a remote control, including a wristband remote, for easy operation and program selection.
For aerobic step workouts, the Wayflex Shake It offers a dynamic platform that can be used for exercises like Basic Step, L Step, Corner to Corner Step, and Across The Top Step. These routines are designed to elevate heart rate and provide a cardiovascular challenge. The device's stabilizers play a crucial role in these workouts; they must be unfolded to ensure stability during aerobic step exercises. Conversely, the stabilizers need to be folded away when operating the device for vibration-only exercises to allow the platform to move freely.
In addition to aerobic exercises, the Wayflex Shake It supports strength training workouts, categorized into beginner and advanced levels. These programs incorporate exercises such as Standing Position, Push Up, Reverse Push Up, Standing Rotation, Half Squat, Static Lunge, Glute Ham Raise, and Plank for beginners. Advanced users can progress to exercises like Biceps Curl, Front Raise, Triceps Curl, Squat, Static Lunge, Glute Ham Raise, Oblique Twist, and Cycle Crunch Twist. Many of these strength exercises utilize resistance bands, which can be attached to brackets on the sides of the device, adding an extra dimension to muscle engagement. The vibration plate enhances these strength exercises by engaging more muscles and increasing the intensity of the workout.
A unique feature of the Wayflex Shake It is its "twist plate" functionality. This allows for specific exercises like oblique twists and cycle crunch twists, targeting core muscles. The twist plate can be locked with a pin for stability during aerobic step workouts, preventing unintended rotation. To perform twisting exercises, the pin must be removed to unlock the twist plate, enabling its rotational movement.
The device also emphasizes the importance of warm-up and cool-down routines. Warm-up exercises, typically lasting two to five minutes, prepare the body for exercise and minimize injury risk. Stretching, performed when muscles are warm, is crucial for improving flexibility and reducing injury. Cool-down routines are designed to gradually lower the heart rate and return the body to a resting state after a workout.
Operating the Wayflex Shake It is designed to be user-friendly, with controls available on both the device's digital display and a remote control. The remote control, which can be worn as a wristband, allows users to power on/off the device, start/stop operation, select pre-installed programs, and adjust workout duration (TIME+/-) and vibration speed (SPEED+/-). When using the wristband remote, it's important to face it towards the computer meter on the device for proper communication.
The device offers pre-installed programs, allowing users to choose from various workout intensities and durations. For beginners, it's recommended to start with low speeds and gradually increase intensity as fitness levels improve. The recommended duration for all vibration programs is no longer than 15 minutes per day, with one session recommended daily.
Safety is a paramount usage feature. Users are advised to consult a physician before starting any exercise program, especially if they are over 35 or have pre-existing health conditions. The device is intended for adults only, and children, disabled persons, and pets should be kept away from it. It must be placed on a level surface with adequate clearance around it. Regular inspection and tightening of all parts are necessary to ensure safe operation. The device has a weight limit of 120 kg.
The folding and unfolding mechanism of the stabilizers is a key operational aspect. Before operating the device for vibration, the stabilizers must be folded away. For aerobic step workouts, the stabilizers must be unfolded to provide a stable platform. Failure to follow these instructions can prevent the device from operating or lead to instability and potential injury. Similarly, the twist plate's locking pin must be engaged for aerobic step workouts to prevent accidental rotation and disengagement during exercises that require a stable surface.
Maintaining the Wayflex Shake It is straightforward, focusing on cleanliness and proper storage to ensure longevity and safe operation. The device should be kept indoors, away from moisture and dust, and not in a garage or covered patio.
Before each use, it's essential to check the unit to ensure all nuts and bolts are tight and that the device is in good working condition. This proactive approach helps identify and address any potential issues before they become safety hazards.
For cleaning, the Wayflex Shake It can be wiped with a wet rag. It is crucial not to spray water directly onto the device, as this could lead to a short circuit and damage the electronics. Always remember to turn off the power and unplug the power cord before cleaning or when the device is not in use.
The manual also provides troubleshooting tips for common problems. For instance, if the device cannot be operated, users should check if it's properly plugged in and powered on. If the screen displays "E," it indicates that the stabilizers might be folded up when they should be unfolded for certain operations. If the wristband remote control isn't working, changing the battery or moving closer to the device are suggested solutions. If the device suddenly stops operating, it might be due to the default 20-minute duration ending or overheating. In such cases, a rest period of 15-20 minutes is recommended to allow the device to cool down, especially in warmer environments.
Users are explicitly warned against disassembling the device themselves. For any technical issues that cannot be resolved through basic troubleshooting, contacting the service center is advised to ensure proper repair and maintenance by qualified personnel. This prevents further damage and ensures the device remains safe for use.
