The Power Plate

Power Plate

has anyone seen this? i saw this recently on the news (I am in Houston and this was developed here by NASA- so maybe that's why it was on the news here?) they interviewed people who were using it and they said it was incredible... i think they said 15 min. on the PowerPlate was the equivalent to a 45 min. traditional workout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it states that if you have an implanted medical device, then you cannot use it, but our Port is not listed. I am definitely gonna ask my doc next time i see him if this would be ok. just thought i would fish around and see if anyone here has actually used a Power Plate. ???

This thing reminds me of those old movies where the large lady is standing on a platform and a big band is strapped around her bottom, jiggling her for all it is worth. And for $10K, I'm not willing to put my skepticism to the test. But, if a gym had one, I'd give it a whirl.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
