A: Look for some of the other whole body vibration machines: TurboSonic and FitVibe are a couple. These are the two best I am aware of. The sites listed below are US, but the machines are in Canada too. I believe PowerPlate may have changed their machinery recently, but older machines are noisy and vibrate dramatically, neither of which are desirable. I think you might find a FitVibe in Vancouver or nearby.

Ah, the easy way out. We all wish there was one, especially when it comes to weight loss, which explains all those infomercial gadgets shoved in the back of your closets and diet books collecting dust on your self.

If you read anything I write, you know I’m not a fan of gimmicks and supposed quick fixes when it comes to fitness, mainly because they don’t work.  But what if they did? What if there was a gadget out there where you could do basically nothing and  get results- Would I stand behind it?

When someone sent me a link to the Power Plate , I thought I had found the next money suck to make weight loss promises it couldn’t keep.  I was all ready to compare this thing to a free standing, giant Shake Weight , but no such luck.  I did a little digging and was surprised to find this one might actually work which bothered me.  I’ll get to that later.

According to Power Plate’s manufacturers, standing on the vibrating plates of The Power Plates 10 minutes a day three times a week, will cause you to lose weight, increase bone density and improve your overall health.  They claim this because, unlike the old-fashioned belt exercisers that physically mushed your surface skin back and forth, the Power Plate utilizes whole-body vibration, or WBV, to contract muscles 30 to 50 times per second.

So, compared to traditional exercises, its a workout with relatively little effort.
