How high should I go with the vibration level. I have been doing it at the highest with no problem but I wasn't sure what is most healthy/effective.

I do not have any scientific base for my answer. What I do is follow my body. It feels different every day. Just be attentive to what your body tells you because we need to take care of our bodies, no harm while we have fun! Hope it helps. Need to ask more questions? I am here.

Did you turn up the volume. That seemed to also affect the vibration and shock.

25 is still moderate vibration, after that gets pretty numbing on the hands but with the stock components I already have est. 40 just breaking it in still only on the 4th tank but like i said it isn't comfortable cruzing speed and has had several issues already. Not a reliable mode of transportation but definitely fun to cruz.

I find it to be good. I usually keep it towards the middle setting and I am happy with that. If I turn it to high, I can really feel it!I think it's a great machine and worth the money.

Would not recommend this product for the vibration only. There is a model by HoMedics without the shiatsu feature, that is what you want.

The higher the level you place the tension, the better pull and push the workout will be. I started on level 2 to getuse to the machine, and have upped it to now level 4. I feel the pull in my arms, legs, bottom,and alittle in my stomach. I feel the forward movement inmy arms and shoulders. I really feel this is a good workout. I go slow for awhile, then pick up the pace and then slow it down again- sorta like they do in cross training. I also move my hands holding the bar to gripping it over the bar and then switch to holding the bar gripping under. I hope this helped you decide. I love my workout. And its such a great price.

It all depends upon how hard you jump. If you're doing a lite jog-- I doubt your neighbors would notice. IF you are jumping like my 10 year old son who likes to see how high he can go-- they'll notice a vibration.

The machine vibrates from side to side. The lower the speed the lower the vibration. But at a speed like 6-10, it produces a good shaking. The higher the speed the more it shakes you. I believe mine goes up to 20 with about 3-4 settings to choose from. I just used mine this morning

I have no idea what type of vibration this machine has but I believe it is dual. My chiropractor bought one for his mother for her osteoporosis and it helped her and her friends quite a lot. I seem to remember him saying something about it vibrating both ways. Sorry, I'm not technical, that's the best I can do.

This massager has several speeds and three different heads so the intensity of the vibration to me feels like it is sort of tapping, depending on what part of the body you have it on, and which head you're using. This is a very good massager, very intense vibration even on low setting, the best massager I have owned, I hope this helps

Vibration from the fork is to be felt by the body part that you apply to, not listen to sound of vibration, even if you listen, it's not dizzy, for me, I was fine. I own regular tuning forks for sound healing, & natural vibrations are beautiful.

You NEED to keep it on the lowest setting and SLOWLY increase the setting. It is a powerful little device, and you need to use it like you would a medical device, because that is what it is. This goes double if you are a new user, your body will not be used to it unless you attune yourself to it. The manual reiterates this several times; don't ignore it. If you use it right, it's a wonderful little device that works miracles. If you use it incorrectly and don't pay attention to the manual (I.e., putting it directly on your spine? THAT'S A NO), then you will be in for an incredibly uncomfortable experience. We love ours and use it regularly :)

@cheetah2000, it is a great board if you are around 110 or more. Is gunna feel weird at first but definatly loosen trucks before you ride.

I have no idea what the Vibration Plate 500 is like, but the Soozier has a strong vibration. It has up to 20 settings for how it vibrates. For me I have found that 10 causes me to sweat, so I usually vibrate at a setting of 10 or 11. I recommend starting at 8 or 9 and them work your way up. Good luck.

Hi Gerald, I use about half the recommended amount and it gives my system more energy. I do not feel jittery or feel like I had a caffine overload, or feel superhuman or anything. Half of the recommedation seems to work well with me. I try and work out 3-4 days a wek (minimum), and it keeps me going. I ran out before I recordered, I noticed an energy level drop. It seems to work well with my routine. It gives me just a little constant energy boost so when I need it I am ready for my workout. Hope this help. P.S. I never tried the full recommended amount. If I felt that half wasn't enough then I would have increased the amount, but half works fine for me. Take care.

Maybe you need a stronger shock? I shocked myself with the SDF-100 on the lowest setting and I weight 200 lb. It made my arm tingle for a few minutes afterward; it's no joke.

I think you are right about thumping power. if they don't pound hard enough you don't get deep tissue action and pushing down on the massager just over works the motor.
