Power Plate my5 Vibration Training Machine Review

I was skeptical about this really working.I researched it and also bought a MY3.The MY3 is too small for many of the exercises you will want to do, so I took it back.However this model is just big enough for almost all of the exercises.For some of them you would want the commercial model.The nice thing about this one is that it makes it easier to select the settings for a particular activity and it has a remote control.However the pre-set settings for strength -- at least on ours - are not good forbeginners.It goes for 30 seconds at the high amplitude.You should progress at the lower amplitude with more sets at 30 seconds and then longer times with those sets before progressing to the shorter times at the low amplitude.I have seen impressive results in strength improvements and my wife who has bad knees has seen noticeable improvement in reducing pain and in improving strength.It also improves my flexibility in my hamstrings.I wish we had the commercial model but this one costs enough.I don't know about the other vibration trainers.But I know this one really works.

Product Description
Add a new dimension to your workout routine with the Power Plate my5 vibration training machine. The my5 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.

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.

This particular model, the Power Plate my5, makes Acceleration Training accessible for use in the home, office, or just about anywhere else. The machine is smaller than the company's commercial models, but still offers all the features you need for efficient workouts, including high/low vertical displacement settings, quick-start programs for strength, stretching, massage, and relaxation, and a remote control for easy of use. The my5, which offers a maximum load of 300 pounds, measures 27 by 59 by 35 inches (W x H x D), weighs 200 pounds, and carries a one-year warranty on parts and a 180-day warranty on labor.
