Introducing Power Plates

Divine intervention in the world of physical fitness is most

definitely the Power Plate, and I am a passionate

advocate. Combine Power Plate with a balanced, healthy

diet and you will look and feel great. It’s a promise.

Using the principles of Acceleration Training, it stimulates the body’s natural response to vibration. Vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contractions multiple times per second. In short, by using your core to balance, and optimising muscle contractions in a concentrated period of time, you can achieve an awful lot in a session as short as 15 minutes. Then do three sessions a week and that’s it, job pretty much done!

What’s more, studies have shown that it even stimulates your Human Growth Hormone, (that’s the one that keeps you young), and increases your serotonin levels, (that’s the one that keeps you happy).

Enough of the science, ladies, let’s cut to the chase. It helps in the battle to banish cellulite and tones your muscles like nothing I have ever witnessed. Think tight, perky bottom and you’re there. It’s quick and fun and once you get over the weird feeling of being shaken like a cocktail, you’ll find it oh so hard to give up!

I use it a lot for stretching and it’s increased my flexibility enormously, and the massage setting is great for exorcising stress and stimulating circulation. Warning….do not approach with a hangover! It really isn’t a good feeling.

If you are prone to headaches check with your doctor first, which of course you should do before starting anything new.

So go find a Power Plate studio nearby, or for those with more serious intent, buy one! But as they vibrate they may shake the foundations of your house, so make sure it is situated in the basement.
