Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Hypervibe G14 Home, Gravity Resistance Training machine. Small, lightweight and powerful, the G14 Home is a portable powerhouse coupled with innovation.
Gravity Resistance Training (GRT) There is a wide spread myth about Whole Body Vibration originating in Russia during the 70’s and used for the health of their cosmonauts and the performance of their Olympic athletes. The reality is that modern Whole-Body Vibration began in Germany during the mid-nineties.
responsible for many of the physical issues we face? No matter how you look at it, the fundamental need to maintain our ability to counter gravity is what defines our strength, stability, balance, function, and most importantly, our healthy lifestyle. It’s time to stop just shaking the body and begin to actually improve its performance and integrity. It’s time for Whole Body Vibration to become Gravity Resistance Training.
Benefits of GRT At the time this was written, the effects of GRT had been studied for almost 20 years, with hundreds of clinical papers published in scientific journals.

Safe & Effective Use If you are not excluded from using the machine due to a health condition, the G14 Home can be used by almost everyone. How- ever, the key to success when using the G14 Home is safe and effective use. There are three main variables that will determine safe and effective use: 1. Intensity (G-Force) 2. Time 3.
the G Force panel. As a general rule, beginners should stay below 4g’s. Time When referring to time on the G14 Home, we can refer to the duration of time that an exercise is performed for, the duration of time you rest between exercises, and also the total time use of machine in any given week in terms of number of sessions. Just as we recommend low intensity vibration when new to GRT, we also recommend short exercise durations and fewer sessions per week.
overloading your body. If your body adapts well to GRT, longer exercise durations of 10-20 mins in total are possible, and it is also possible to use the machine every day. Allow adequate rest durations between exercises. Reducing the rest periods will contribute to the intensity of the session. It should also be noted that programs that are designed for relaxation or flexibility are generally very low intensity and can be used in addition to a GRT program or used as an off-day program.
Sometimes locked knees may be instructed for lower intensity vibration therapy exercises. The G14 Home has a pivotal platform, which means the platform vibrates in the same motion as a see-saw. For standing exercises where both feet are on the platform your feet should be kept at equal distance from the middle platform pivotal point. There are some exercises where should use the Hypervibe Step Mat or similar product, such as kneeling, planking, and sitting exercises.
Using the Control panel Please refer to supplementary software guide available on our site for download. Getting started If you have never used a vibration machine before, we recommend you begin using the G14 Home by starting with one of the introduction programs shown in the G14 Home App. Otherwise, we suggest you choose a program that is best suited to the goals you wish to achieve. Using the G14 Home app does provide a huge advantage.
