What is the oscillating platform?
The Sismo Fitness consists of a platform that creates an oscillatory movement (swings from left to right) based on that of the balance plate of the physiotherapist. By reproducing the natural movement of walking , the Sismo solicits the muscles to remodel the silhouette gently.The promise of the oscillating platform?
The Sismo Fitness allows to do the equivalent of 1 hour of physical activity in 10 minutes with the benefits of a traditional sport session: thinning, anti-cellulite effect, lymphatic drainage, muscle development, cardiovascular risk reduction, elasticity skin, general well-being ... and visible results after 6 sessions.The progress of an oscillating platform session:
I put on a comfortable outfit before boarding the Sismo Fitness, which looks like the vibrant platforms found in gyms. For the first sessions, I ask to be advised by a coach who will indicate to me the exercises adapted to the parts that I wish to work (abs, glutes, thighs).
I stand on the machine, feet parallel, knees slightly bent. I set the frequency to 8 (I can increase it as the exercises) and I stay in this position for 6 minutes on average. In the mirror, I see my reflection waddle like a vahine. I feel like my fat is shaking like a blank! I begin to feel tingling under the skin, I feel it drains.
I admire the landscape, I do not suffer, I do not breathe either, I do not even feel like playing sports! The coach refocuses on my position, and advises me to contract the muscles (right now it changes, I feel that it works!).
I move to the other positions. The coach gives me some variations: the more I spread the tips of the feet to the outside, the more I work the outer muscles of the thigh. To work the adductors, I reverse by going inwards the tips.
At the end of the session, I get a massage! Phew ...
The results of the oscillating platform
The next day, I feel aches as after a workout. As soon as I contract the abs, I feel that it pulls, it must work? I feel that my legs are light, it's probably due to the draining effect. And I can not say if there is a cause and effect relationship but I improved my physical performance.Differences with a vibrating platform?
Both machines do not use the same technique or the same positions.- The vibration is a vertical wave (both feet go up and down at the same time) while the oscillation is an elliptical movement (it reproduces the movement of walking). The oscillation is therefore less violent for the joints .
- Unlike the vibrating platform, the coach is not mandatory on an oscillating platform, but recommended at least for the first two sessions.
- On a vibrating platform, the positions are held a few seconds while the user of the Sismo Fitness can keep the same position up to 10 minutes per session.
Who is the oscillating platform for?
The Sismo Fitness is suitable for both athletes and beginners. It is also a good alternative for migraine sufferers who do not support the vibrations of vibrating platforms.Contraindications of the oscillating platform
