Power plate is a fantastic machine ; 10 min exercise is claimed to equal one hour in the gym. It does not require active movements, can be practiced even when fatigued. It can move and vibrate many muscles in the body including back and tummy muscles. It is claimed to be anti-osteoporosis and increase the venous circulation as well.

Do not jumb on the machine after food or drink

This is not an ad. It is a way I found useful to tone your muscles even if you are weak. You can give it a try in a Gym or in sports shop; then judge for yourself.

Thank you - it looks interesting.

I have heard mixed reviews regarding this machine. But, I would be open to trying it once.

if it really worked that well wouldn't the gym's carry it?or curves? It is really expensive and I do not want any more crap in my home. Trying to downsize. I would go to a gym and work out. Gets me out of the house.

It is not expensive . I bought a taiwanese machine called "crazy fit message" for about $500 only. The original american power plate is worth of $15,000 which is suitable for hotels and big gyms.

That is pretty expensive, according to my budget, lol.

Pffffffffft

drmed :ok so you buy it on the cheap and now you have this big machine in your home. SO? does it work? What are the stats?

The machine is not that big. It is a plate enough to stand on. It can fit in any corner. IT is nice to tune many muscles at the same time especially in the odd days that there is will for a treadmill or other exercises. It also can give you the feeling of chair massage or back rub! It also can be used as a warm up before proper exercise.

To avoid harm the joints; don't lock your knees while standing, always bend them a little. Every move or turn of the legs or waist , you will feel the vibration moving to another muscle.

I've used these whole body vibration machines several times. There is a poster of different exercises or movements or positions that you should go through each time - each one for about 30 seconds for a total workout of 10-15 minutes. It is not a matter of just standing on it unless you are not able to do the exercises. I felt great after the workouts, muscles were tired and I was sweating. I'm saving my money to buy my own machine.
