Shaking Things Up - Part 2
The first part of our “Shaking Things Up” series explained the basic concept of the Power Plate and how one can manipulate amplitude and hertz to obtain one’s fitness goals. In this section we will look into reasons why an individual would want to incorporate this training tool into one’s workouts.
Speaking from experience, my team and I have been using the plate to stimulate more muscle growth, bring out more definition, burn more calories, increase strength, burn fat, and help prevent osteoporosis for over 3 years.
Let us first look at the way in which the plate helps with strength. When one performs an exercise on the plate (whether it be squats, lunges, crunches, push ups, static rows, dips, etc.) the individual is not only working voluntary muscles, but also involuntary muscles. This will stimulate more muscle growth, and by using more muscles, will burn more calories as well. When an individual is on the plate for only 30 seconds and has the hertz set at 30 (this is the lowest setting) the individual will contract his muscles 900 times!
