Good Evening-
Power Plate is very effective even with minimal movement and exertion.
New research shows that even "relaxing" workouts can help to increase base Resting Metabolic Rate.
Getting started with the Power Plate can be as simple as standing on it, sitting on it, or doing some simple stretches on it.
When you stand on the Power Plate, turn it on to a medium or low setting, you start to experience the benefits immediately.
The 1200 vibrations every 30 seconds (on average) force 1200 responses by your muscles.
This starts the process of becoming stronger. After a few minutes, you'll likely start to feel better.
If you have a MOVE, you might want to add a stability bar for greater balance. If you have a wooden floor, you might also want to combine the Power Shield.
Once you get comfortable using the Power Plate, you can start to add different exercises.
You can add light weights to your hands and do gentle squats to start increasing the activity your muscles experience.
There is no limit to the amount of intensity you can bring to the Power Plate. And there is no movement that is "too little" to be effective.
Muscles are attached to tendons, which are connected to bones. As muscle gets stronger, bone gets stronger.
The long term impact of greater bone strength can be significant!
Power Plate and Bone Health:
Most people know that Power Plate is powerful enough to trigger growth of new bone cells.
But did you know that Power Plate training and usage can result in reduced fall frequency in people older than 60?
This paper highlights the study of 220 people which used the Power Plate 3 times a week for 47 weeks.
When you stand on a Power Plate, the harmonic (comfortable and consistent) waves provide true vibration.
When we say true vibration, this is something that comes from the patented set of technologies that Power Plate created. The engine inside each Power Plate sends waves of energy in 3 dimensions simultaneously.
This forces your muscles to respond involuntarily. The platform does the work for you which automatically trains you to be more agile.
Fewer falls means fewer broken bones and other injuries.
There is no other platform/product out there that provides this level and quality of vibration.
There are cheaper machines that offer "teeter totter" action which shakes your body. But it is not true harmonic vibration.
Think about when you set your phone to "vibrate". When your phone rings it vibrates, it does not shake!
The MOVE plus the stability bar is a great combination to allow people to do 9 minutes of light squats and other exercises to help train the body to be stronger, more agile and more responsive.
The my5 is also a great solution which includes a center console to hold on to. The my7 is our top of the line home unit.
The my7 features an integrated LCD touchscreen with Functional Interactive Training (F.I.T.) software, taking you effectively through every stage of your Power Plate workout.
The Power Plate my7 also features retractable resistance handles, which allows you to conduct resistance training while you are on the Plate.
