Power Plate? ? Fitness Equals Freedom | Whole Health Wellness Blog ...

When Jack Lambiotte first heard about Power Plate^? he thought it screamed gimmick. Jack is a movement therapist and a certified Personal Trainer at Whole Health Centers in Lone Tree. But now he?s a believer.

The Science

With 1800 vibrations per minute vibration training machines cause 30 muscle contractions per second. When you work out on a vibration platform the vibration gets to intrinsic muscles we don?t normally work out. It works the muscle you?re flexing, the surrounding muscles and the muscles of your core.

The platform works on the theory of controlled instability, oscillating in three dimensions. Your core is always engaged while the rest of your muscles are working to re-stabilize.

The result is an accelerated workout.

The Anecdotes

You can get the benefit of a 60- to 90-minute workout in 30 minutes. Working with vibration fitness improves blood circulation, muscle strength and flexibility, metabolism, eases fluid in joints, results in an increased oxygenation, lymphatic draining, detoxing and improved sleep.

The benefits to some forms of health challenges have been marked ? like Multiple Sclerosis, Osteopenia, Arthritis, Parkinson?s and chronic back aches. With the increase in metabolism and detoxing, it accelerates weight loss as well as improves muscle tone, overall fitness and shrinks cellulite.

There are conflicting stories about how and where vibration training got its start. Someone says the Germans developed it. Someone else says the Russians were tinkering with vibration technology during the 1960s. During the space race NASA noticed their astronauts were losing bone mass in space travel. In their experiments the Russians saw changes in bone mass with their subjects so they began applying the technology to their athletes.

Wherever the technology originated, it?s available now for athletes, fitness buffs and people with special needs.
