Power Plate Workout
What is the Power Plate ?

The Power Plate resembles a large scale, featuring a 2 x 3 foot platform promoting Whole Body Vibration. Individuals assume a soft squatting position on the platform with vibrations occurring 30-50 times per second. A sequence of positions are followed for either 30, 45 or 60 seconds per set.

Each training session lasts anywhere between 15-40 minutes depending on the program selected, and need only be done 3 times a week.

How does it work ?

The whole body vibration triggers muscle strength and performance, flexibility and range of motion, wellness and longevity hormones, fat reduction and pain reduction. Just as the leg kicks forward involuntarily when the lower knee is struck, the body's muscles also engage in an involuntary reflexive contraction when stimulated with the whole body vibration. The muscles twitch in sequence, making many small contractions that exert small stresses on the bone. Thus resulting in muscle strengthening and bone building. If you are over thirty, you are past the peak of bone formation and may be losing it faster than you are rebuilding it, which can lead to osteoporosis.

Benefits...

  • Studies have revealed a decrease in cellulite levels with only 11 minutes 3 times a week
  • Studies have revealed the Power Plate to be more than twice as effective than conventional methods used in rehabilitation situations
  • A study at a University in Belgium indicated that use of the Power Plate leads to the same strength increase over a 12 week period as with conventional strength training, but results are apparent in much less time
  • In addition, the Power Plate has been noted to also improve the following: pain reduction, bone mineral and density loss, hormonal balances, endocrine balances, circulation, lymphatic return, lean muscle growth, cortisol control, increase in HGH production and an overall sense of well being
