The Power Plate is a "miracle" machine
that consists of a tower with hand grips and a vibrating platform where users can do lunges,
push ups or any other floor exercise. The oscillating platform supports the exercises while vibrating 25-50
times per second. The spiraling, uneven movements simulate the body's natural reaction
to vibration. The vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, causing
muscles to contract. The result is so intense only three 20 minute sessions a week
are recommended. The results include, but aren't limited to: toned muscles, flexibility,
improved bone density, balance and strength. Major university studies have also found
that it stimulates the lymphatic system, improves blood flow, lowers the level of the
cortisol stress hormone, enhances your metabolism, reduces CELLULITE and promotes the
natural production of collagen in the skin. The best part about it is that the results
are immediate!!
Top athletes and everyday sports enthusiasts are always looking for better ways to train their body and gain a competitive edge. For serious athletes, workouts on the Power Plate® machines enhance the results of conventional training and explosive strength training, as well as serve athletes and trainers alike to speed recovery and regeneration times. Because of the extensive academic and independent scientific research, professional sports teams throughout the world use Power Plate® machines as part of their strength, conditioning and rehabilitation programs.
More than just an exercise and rehabilitation machine, Power Plate® machines offer the capacity for whole body massage and relaxation. Not only can Power Plate ® machines passively work all the muscle groups in the body, but they can reduce stress by decreasing cortisol levels while raising levels of serotonin. Using Power Plate ® machines helps increase circulation and oxygenate blood flow, leading to a decrease in toxins in the body, which causes a reduction in the appearance of cellulite. It also helps the body by increasing bone mineral density to fight osteoporosis and increasing the production of collagen to encourage firmer, smoother skin.
Power Plate® machines provide a simple solution to preventing age-related muscle loss, bone density loss and skin wrinkles. Firstly, Acceleration Training™ exercise using Power Plate® machines contributes to a more youthful feeling due to an increase in the secretion of serotonin, the "feel good" neurotransmitter. Secondly, not only can Power Plate® machines improve muscle strength, but they also help increase flexibility and range of motion while stimulating the production of collagen, creating tighter, more beautiful skin. And finally, Power Plate® machines help fight the effects of osteoporosis through aiding the body in increasing bone mineral density. Power Plate® machines help play a vital role in enhancing wellness and overall quality of life.
Not only can Acceleration Training™ exercise using Power Plate® machines prevent injuries, it can help rehabilitate them as well. Many professional sports teams have found Power Plate® machines to be indispensable for rehabilitation. The ability to strengthen muscles without strain on joints and ligaments can be extremely valuable for patients with rehabilitation needs. Increased blood circulation helps bring oxygen to inflamed areas to promote healing, while improved lymphatic flow helps drain fluid build-up from injured tissue.
