Power plate

This is a Power plate, maybe they're called something different in the US?

I think that they basically vibrate and you do different exercises on them, don't really have much idea but would get a little coaching on it.

Not sure I'm ready to see my wobbly bits vibrating madly!

    Boy.. I must really be out in the boonies! I've never seen one of those before!!

    I thought "Power Plate" was a high calorie dinner offered at a fast food restaurant!!

    Just kidding, but I really have never seen one of those - you'll have to tell me how it is!

    Ah! I gotcha1 Ummm...I haven't really heard great things. I suppose the idea is that keeping your balance helps work your core. I believe you could do the same thing using a balance ball. Just my 2 cents.

    These were becoming big when I left the UK in '07. They are still not that popular here in Aus so I have had a chance to try one. I'm a bit skeptical about their true value. Might be a bit of a get-fit-quick gimmick.

    Strange coincidence - I spoke to my mum this evening and she's just joined a gym. Today she went for her 'introduction' session and they have a power plate, but you have to pay extra to use it there too (£1 per session). She had a quick go and said she can now understand what the workmen who use pnuematic drills must feel like. I'm not sure if that's good or bad?!
