Americans are a funny bunch. We will seek just about any way to lose weight without eating well and without exercising. That’s a sad state of affairs. When I first came across articles about whole body vibration, I was extremely skeptical about the supposed benefits. But as I read on through the research articles I was surprised to learn that whole body vibration actually has some really great health affects.

The short and sweet of it is that the Power Plate shakes your weight away. It does a whole lot more, but that’s one benefit. Users regularly report losing substantial weight when using the Power Plate. The Power Plate works by sending a sinusoidal vertical wave through your entire body. This wave causes reflexive contraction of your muscles. Your muscles contract at a rate of 30-50 times per second. It has a whole host of other benefits, like:
Improve muscle strength and performance
Increase flexibility and range of motion
Enhance critical blood flow throughout the body (oxygenation and lymph drainage)
Increase secretion of hormones that are important in regeneration and repair processes, such as HGH (Human Growth Hormone), IGF-1, and testosterone.
Increase bone density
Increase of the happiness hormone serotonin and neurotrophine, a substance that supports our thinking process.

If I wasn’t so darn skinny, I’d probably laugh. It’s amazing what science finds every day…
