I was very interested in the Power Plate and I’ve been on it probably about 10 or 12 times. I almost bought one for my studio, there have been several studies that show that it can be great for increasing bone density and I have a lot of osteoporosis in my Pilates studio.

But what finally made me decide not to get one is when I asked a client, a doctor, what she thought about it. She said, you really don’t want to be vibrating soft tissue like that for an extended period of time. Think about it, soft tissues includes things like your brains, eyeballs and your heart …

So I’ve decided to wait and let the population be the “guinea pigs” before I invest in that type of technology.

Thanks for your question.

Since actresses spend hours at the gym with a small army of trainers and other fitness pros, I am curious if you recommend power plate to speed along the process? I did it for a while, and stopped several months ago since it wasn’t for me (vibrations were literally going to my head). But it was touted as doing more work in less time (i.e. cut your gym time by 30 minutes!).

Glad you like the site, I’ve been working hard on it …

Two more posts this week, one on how dress sizes have changed over the years and another one on how to find out how healthy your county is …

Thanks for leaving a comment :-)
