The Power Plate

The Power Plate
Whilst Anna went to New York this is a new idea that's come the other way. Loved by Madonna and Jennifer Aniston this machine gives the body's muscles a high-speed work out and now it's time for some of the ladies of London to give it a go.
The Power Plate
The Power Plate works by vibrating and stimulating the muscles to contract and relax. Normally, muscles contract once or twice a second but this machine causes the muscles to contract between 30 and 50 times a second. Exercises can be done on this plate so for the bum it's the Squats.
The Power Plate
Recommended use
All in all, this means a 15-minute session should do the job and you should see some effects after four to six weeks.
The Power Plate
Result
The ladies of London lost a total of 16 inches giving an average loss of 1.78 inches.
