Anyone have any experience with Power Plate? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

The health club I go to just got two of these bad boys

The staff isn't fully trained but I did get to try it briefly today and I'm ready to sign up. It uses a vibrating plate to create a much more in depth workout than otherwise. It vibrates from 30 to 50 cycles per second. I was in a squat for 30 seconds and I could really tell it towards the end of the time. Supposedly it can provide the benefits of a full work out in a fraction of the time. I probably would only use it once or twice a week, and keep my normal routine a couple times a week also.

Anyone have any experience?

Never heard of it. I would be suspicious of anything that promises fast results. It will be interesting to check it out.

try holding a squat in the same position as when you were on that... i bet by the end of 30 seconds you'll be feeling that too...
