Powerplates?

[goingtobeskinnysoon]

Has anyone tried powerplates? My gym has a deal on and I'm tempted to sign up as although I'm losing weight and building muscle the wobbly bits could do with some extra toning! Are they worth it? And mine are smack bang in middle of free weights section packed with huge ripped guys so is all my flab gonna be wobbling about??? Stupid question but how much do they vibrate? And should I wait until lost all the weight first? X

I started using the vibroplates at my gym a few months ago. I was a bit skeptical but thought it was worth a try. I could really feel the muscle use afterwards - so they do something. I now do about 2 or 3 sessions a week for 10 mins only - and got loads of compliments the first month or so - think it really can help.

ps ignore the musclies - they are too busy looking at selves in mirror anyway

I managed about 5 seconds on one and was sure my eyeballs and or womb was going to fall out

Haa! Oh nooo! Well I've got a trial on Tuesday so fingers crossed.... X

Lean forward on balls of foot and dont let the vibrations go straight up your back to head - you can control it

Well I did it and really liked it so signed up! I'm used to doing circuits and boxing but powerplates worked my abs like nothing else! X
