drmedhat 0 Posted October 10, 2009 Is this an advertisement? This is not an ad. It is a way I found useful to tone your muscles even if you are weak. You can give it a try in a Gym or in sports shop; then judge for yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would go to a gym and work out. Gets me out of the house. It is not expensive . I bought a taiwanese machine called "crazy fit message" for about $500 only. The original american power plate is worth of $15,000 which is suitable for hotels and big gyms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drmedhat 0 Posted October 13, 2009 drmed :ok so you buy it on the cheap and now you have this big machine in your home. SO? does it work? What are the stats? The machine is not that big. It is a plate enough to stand on. It can fit in any corner. IT is nice to tune many muscles at the same time especially in the odd days that there is will for a treadmill or other exercises. It also can give you the feeling of chair massage or back rub! It also can be used as a warm up before proper exercise. To avoid harm the joints; don't lock your knees while standing, always bend them a little. Every move or turn of the legs or waist , you will feel the vibration moving to another muscle.
