The Power Plate is a piece of exercise equipment that is based off of vibrational technology. It is a big plate that you stand on and hold various isometric contractions.
Time Frame
When using the Power Plate, your muscles get vibrational signals sent to them causing them to contract multiple times per second. This makes it convenient to get a good workout if you do not have a lot of time.
Impact
Being that exercises on the Power Plate are done in static positions where there is little or no movement, this makes it a non-impact exercise that is safe for the joints.
Bones
The vibrations that the Power Plate sends through the body help to increase bone mineral density, which is especially good for elderly women to avoid osteoporosis.
Flexibility
The Power Plate increases flexibility by way of excitation of the connective tissue involved with stretch reflexes.
Circulation
There are a lot of people that have poor circulation to their extremities. The Power Plate helps increase circulation.
Other Benefits
