Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the HyperVibe - G10 Mini,

Gravity Resistance Training machine. Small, lightweight and pow-

erful, the G10 Mini is a portable powerhouse coupled with innova-

tion. Not only does the G10 Mini bring you power that is typically

HyperVibe brings you a vibration machine with Bluetooth con-

nectivity that allows you to control or program the machine via

devices such as smartphones, MP3 players, and tablets. Simply

download the HyperVibe G10 app and the software will tell the

G10 Mini what to do, and show you how to workout through your

choice of 40 goal based programs.

The HyperVibe G10 Mini app includes live G-Force readings1 cor-

responding to a Low, Medium, and High position on the platform.

this crucial information, often it’s not even provided in the techni-

Gravity Resistance Training (GRT)

There is a wide spread myth about Whole Body Vibration originat-

ing in Russia during the 70’s and used for the health of their cos-

monauts and the performance of their olympic athletes. The reali-ty

is that modern Whole Body Vibration began in Germany during the

mid-nineties. The pioneering machines were very powerful and

designed to increase the gravitational forces acting on a user by

applying rapid pulses of vertical force under the users feet,

triggering a range of responses and benefits. Over the years as

more manufacturers started to release less powerful Whole Body

Vibration platforms, the original concept became somewhat lost.

Gravity Resistance Training refers to the actual training principle

by which users of a Whole Body Vibration platform experience

tremendous benefit to their muscles, bones, and bodies. What

sets apart a GRT machine from a regular vibration machine, is its

ability to produce high levels of gravity (acceleration), just like the

pioneering technology from Germany. In simple terms, this

means that the platform’s upward vertical force can simulate

more than 10 times the strength of Earth’s gravity.

While manufacturers of low powered machines attempt to use

smoke and mirrors, we at Hypervibe focus on the reality of Whole

Body Vibration technology and what sets it apart from other

approaches to health and fitness. We focus on its ability to

provide true Gravity Resistance!

After all, is not Gravity the force we fight against everyday in our

lives. Is not our failure to fight gravity responsible for many of the

physical issues we face? No matter how you look at it, the fun-

damental 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.

Stop exercising immediately and reduce the intensity of your

train-ing program.

• A drop in blood sugar levels - Diabetics should be aware of

this and should not exercise on an empty stomach.

Machine Installation

The G10 Mini does not require assembly, however some consid-

eration needs to be given to installation. The G10 Mini includes a

docking plate, and certain surfaces may require use of this dock

(see Fig. 2).

The G10 Mini has rubber suction cap feet that are best suited to

• Polished concrete

•

If you have any of the following surfaces, the suction cap feet may

not make a solid bond, and the docking plate may be required:

• Carpeted surfaces

• Textured surfaces

You may also wish to install the docking plate on any of the

above surfaces simply to protect the surface from marks that may

be left by the black rubber feet.

Fig. 2

Upper body resistance bands

The G10 Mini comes supplied with two upper body resistance

bands, which can be attached to the attachment points on the

vibration platform and used in a variety of upper body exercises.

Instructions

To connect the upper body resistance bands to the attachment

points on the machine (see Fig. 3), simply squeeze the D clip (1)

at the end of the resistance band and guide the clip through the

hole in the attachment point (2), then release the D clip.

Each resistance band can be adjusted to increase or decrease the

increasing and decreasing the resistance. To adjust, simply feed

the resistance band through the toggle to your requirements.

Note: The upper body resistance bands should only be connect-

ed to the machine when they are being used. If they are left con-

nected to the machine and are not in use, they may create

exces-sive noise.

Safe & Effective Use

If you are not excluded from using the machine due to a health

condition, the G10 Mini can be used by almost everyone. How-

ever, the key to success when using the G10 Mini is safe and

1. Intensity (G-Force)

2. Time

3. Exercise

Intensity (G-Force)

The G10 Mini can be adjusted through a wide range of intensi-ty

levels, from very low intensity (low frequency with low ampli-tude)

to high (high frequency with high amplitude). Intensity levels

should be chosen appropriately based on personal ability and

lev-el of conditioning.

The G10 Mini has a frequency range from 5 to 20Hz, and three

amplitude positions, L (Low), M (Medium), & H (High). Frequency

refers to the speed of the platform and can be adjusted at the

control panel in manual mode. Amplitude refers to the distance

the platform travels up and down, and can be adjusted by moving

your feet/hands between the L, M & H amplitude contact posi-

tions on the platform (See Fig. 4) .

When connected to the HyperVibe G10 app, the combined fre-

quency and amplitude settings determine the intensity level, and

the G10 Mini displays the intensity levels at the top of the screen

via the G Force panel.

As a general rule beginners should stay below 4g’s.

Fig. 4

Time

When referring to time on the G10 Mini, we can refer to the du-

ration 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. As little as 5 minutes, 2 to 3 times per week may be

enough stimulation initially, which should allow you to become

familiar with the effects of GRT without 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 ma-

chine everyday.

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 relax-

Exercise

t is important you only choose to perform exercises which are ap-

propriate for your ability, and likewise performing those exercises

correctly, as incorrect posture can cause harm and injury. Switch-

ing on your core muscles by drawing your belly towards your

spine, will increase core stability and help maintain your posture.

It is important to maintain balance during exercises. For exercises

which use the handles of the machine for stability, the aim is to be

able to perform the exercise with minimal pressure on the handles

as possible. Your body should be positioned so that if you were to

let go of the handles, you would not lose balance.

Unless otherwise instructed, your weight should be distributed

evenly through your feet left to right, and front to back. You

should not be up on your toes, nor back on your heels.

You should never stand up tall and lock your knees during a high

intensity GRT machine setting. Sometimes locked knees may be

instructed for lower intensity vibration therapy exercises.

The G10 Mini 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 work-

out mat or similar product, such as kneeling, planking, and sitting

exercises. Some users will prefer a mat for upper body exercises

where hands are on the platform, but be aware that this will also

reduce the intensity to a degree. You may also wish to use the

HyperVibe workout mat when lying on the floor in front for your

comfort and protection.

For safety and maximum vibration transfer to the body, wear socks

or thin soled rubber shoes. Bare feet or hands on the platform be

the most efficient transfer of vibration, but can cause blistering.

Thicker soled shoes will absorb vibration and reduce the amount

of vibration transferred to the body, and hard soled shoes can

cause the user to “skid”.

Using the control panel & remote

control

SLEEP MODE

With the mains switch turned on at the rear of the machine, the

G10 Mini will be in standby mode. This will be indicated by the

fact that there is a blinking red light visible from the time window,

and that there will be no digits showing in either the time window

or the frequency window.

READY MODE

From sleep mode, pressing the power button will turn the G10

Mini to ready mode. From ready mode the frequency can be pre-

selected, by using the frequency UP/DOWN buttons, so that the

G10 Mini will start at tthe frequency preferred frequency for a

particular exercise.

Once you have chosen a frequency, select either 30, 60, or 90

seconds for the exercise duration.

Once a time selection has been made, the G10 Mini will provide

a 5 second countdown with an audible beep on the last 3

seconds. After the 5 second countdown, the platform will start

producing vibration and the time window will countdown the time

chosen for the exercise duration.

The frequency can be adjusted whilst the platform is producing

vibration via the use of the frequency UP/DOWN buttons. To stop

the vibration during an exercise, press the power button.

To turn the G10 Mini back to sleep mode, press and hold the

pow-er button for 3 seconds.

MUTE ON/OFF

From ready mode pressing both frequency UP and frequency

DOWN simultaneously will switch mute sounds ON and OFF.

BLUETOOTH

When a Bluetooth connection is made with the HyperVibe G10

software, the Bluetooth indicator will illuminate, and both the

timer and frequency window will indicate — which means that

machines controls and indicators are now controlled by an ex-

ternal device. During bluetooth connection, the only button that is

functional on the control panel and remote control is the power

button, which must be pressed and held for 3 seconds to break

the bluetooth connection and send the machine into sleep mode.
