Power Plate
Start time: February 2, 2014
Power-Plate is a machine that gives the body's muscles a high-speed workout by using vibrations to stimulate them to contract and relax.
They generally contract once or twice a second, but by standing on the Power-Plate, its vibrations cause an automatic reflex muscle contraction of 30-50 a second. Power-Plate is a great time-saver due to the effectiveness of training and the fact that many muscle groups are activated at the same time. Some experts say that 10 minutes on the Power-Plate will have the same results as 60 minutes of a conventional workout.
It’s best to train by increasing the frequency gradually. If you are a beginner start with nine minutes of the resistance programme, followed by nine minutes of the stretch, massage and relaxation programme, both on the lower frequency and amplitude settings.
Power plate can help to reduce the signs of cellulite and help tone your skin.
It can also help to recover from some injuries and if often used by professional sportsmen and celebrities.

More than just an exercise machine, the Power Plate machine offers the capacity for a whole body massage to enhance relaxation, by passively working the muscles for an immediate localised increase in circulation.
