22 Sep A whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on with Power Plate
A new fitness phenomenon has come about called Power Plate.
Imagine standing on what looks like a big plate and getting a workout through vibrations in 15 minutes or less.
That’s essentially the deal with acceleration training on the Power Plate.
According to the company that produces these machines, “Power Plate” equipment is the premium vibration device powering a new dimension in wellness solutions for all ages, lifestyles and physical abilities. It uses the principles of Acceleration Training™ to stimulate the body’s natural response to vibration. These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second, enhancing overall performance in sessions as short as 15 minutes a day, 3 times a week.”
Power Plates are available through athomefitness.com and offer benefits ranging from improvement in blood circulation, increased muscle strength and flexibility, improved range of motion, decreased cellulite, increased bone mineral density, reduced pain and soreness and faster recovery.
One of the most interesting aspects of power plates is that they have been found to benefit everyone from professional athletes to senior citizens trying to keep up their circulation and strength.
If you’re interested in learning more about this ne type of exercise machine, the best thing to do is try out a power plate for yourself.
Many gyms have added them, or you can go into a specialty fitness store and inquire about them.
Power Plates are definitely worth checking out.
