I am an active and fit working mother of 2 and just when I thought there was no piece of fitness equipment that could provide me any type of new results at my age, boy was I wrong! The Pro5 has not only toned my entire body more than any spin or circuit training class has ever done in a short period of time, but it has increased my flexibility, range of motion, and overall physique and core strength. I feel immediate results after stepping off of my plate. I thought that this machine would not produce sweat, but I was wrong on that as well. You can do as much of a cardio workout on this machine, as you can in a spin class. The best part about it, is that you only need to do a 20-30 minute workout 3-4 times a week to achieve maximum results. I would recommend this equipment to everyone. It is easy to use, and Power Plate provides a wonderful training dvd, mats, handstraps, exercise poster and a remote if you get the Pro5 model. It is so worth the price.Product Description
Add a new dimension to your workout routine with the Power Plate pro5 vibration training machine. The pro5 employs a technology called Acceleration Training to stimulate the body's natural response to vibration. These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second, thereby enhancing your overall fitness in sessions as short as 15 minutes a day, three times per week. Acceleration Training offers a host of benefits, ranging from an immediate improvement in blood circulation to a variety of other measurable outcomes, including increased muscle strength and flexibility, improved range of motion, decreased cellulite, increased bone mineral density, reduced pain and soreness, and faster recovery from injury.
The pro5 offers more settings than other Power Plate machines.Acceleration Training works by creating instability in the human body, as with each vibration the body is forced to perform reflexive muscle actions. Furthermore, these contractions must work in multiple dimensions, as the Power Plate machines actually oscillate in all three directions, exactly as the human body is designed to do. This means that one can improve functional force (stability, strength, or power) by either applying more mass or more acceleration to the body. Many forms of training and condition use mass--as seen in methods with weight machines and free weights. Power Plate machines, by contrast, use the second half of the law of motion equation: they apply acceleration to the body while keeping mass (i.e., your body weight) the same. The result is that you work against a far greater influence, or "load," of gravity in every movement you perform. Power Plate machines are a great alternative for people who enjoy an active lifestyle but don't have the time to perform lengthy workouts three or more times a week.
Acceleration Training stimulates body's natural response to vibration.This particular model, the pro5, offers a larger number of settings than other Power Plate models, creating greater variation in your health and fitness routine. The larger plate surface, meanwhile, plays a similar role by providing more exposure to vibrations. As a result, the Power Plate pro5 can take you as far as you wan to go with your fitness goals, allowing you to increase vibration levels in one-step increments. Other details include 30-, 45-, and 60-second time settings; high/low vertical displacement settings; and a maximum load of 400 pounds. Backed by a commercial-grade two-year warranty and the testimony of hundreds of professional users, the pro5 measures 34 by 61 by 42 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 330 pounds.
