Power Plate

To a lot of people, the idea of losing weight or improving fitness whilst standing still can sound too good to be true.

However this can, in a way, be achieved by using our Power Plate. By performing a few simple exercises on its vibrating platform, weight loss results can be achieved much quicker when vibration training is used in conjunction with a conventional exercise programme. Much research has been conducted to demonstrate the benefits of vibration training,  including with those who are trying to lose weight, elite athletes, those with chronic illness and also post-surgery and rehab patients.

Power Plate machines use the principles of acceleration training to stimulate the body’s natural response to vibration. These in turn transmit energy throughout the body, engaging muscle contractions from between 25 and 50 times per second, dependent on your programme settings.

This type of training offers a wide range of benefits ranging from an immediate improvement in blood circulation to a host of other measurable improvements, such as increased muscle strength, flexibility and an improved range of motion, decreased cellulite, increased body density and a faster recovery time from your normal exercise routine.

In a way, the Power Plate adds instability to your body whilst you perform your prescribed exercises. With each vibration, your body needs to react and muscles contract - this is then replicated many times per second for the duration of the exercise.
