The future of fitness training is here! And all you have to do is stand there. Well… not just stand there, more like stand in a squat position. The Power Plate is a platform machine that uses the principles of Acceleration Training to stimulate the body’s natural response to vibration. These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, creating instability, which activates muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second. What does that mean for you?
According to the Power Plate website:
“Acceleration Training™ on Power Plate® equipment offers a host of benefits, ranging from an immediate improvement in blood circulation, to a variety of other measurable outcomes: such as increased muscle strength and flexibility, improved range of motion, decreased cellulite, increased bone mineral density, reduced pain and soreness and faster recovery. Our three-dimensional vibration technology continues to lead the industry, and its benefits are grounded in extensive academic and independent scientific medical research.”
Power Plate’s and the sweat sessions that follow, have recently taken Europe by storm. Infiltrating gyms and homes alike. That’s right, the Power Plate company offers home and commercial machines so you can buy your very own to put in the living room. I can see it now… pretty soon we will all be standing on these futuristic machines in our homes getting all the workout we need in under 15 minutes!
Not convinced? Just in case you care, celebs like Kylie Minogue, Claudia Schiffer and Ell McPherson swear by these fat-blasting machines.
All I want to know is, where can I try one? Woo hoo… no more hand weights!
Brookstone stores apparently sell them (for $4,500 bucks!) so maybe I will wander down there and test this baby out!
