Amazon.com Product Description

Add a new dimension to your workout routine with the Power Plate pro5 AIRdaptive vibration training machine. The pro5 AIRdaptive employs a technology called Acceleration Training to stimulate the body's natural response to vibration. These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second, thereby enhancing your overall fitness in sessions as short as 15 minutes a day, three times per week.

The pro5 AIRdaptive offers more settings than other Power Plate machines.

Acceleration Training offers a host of benefits, ranging from an immediate improvement in blood circulation to a variety of other measurable outcomes, including increased muscle strength and flexibility, improved range of motion, decreased cellulite, increased bone mineral density, reduced pain and soreness, and faster recovery from injury.

Acceleration Training works by creating instability in the human body, as with each vibration the body is forced to perform reflexive muscle actions. Furthermore, these contractions must work in multiple dimensions, as the Power Plate machines actually oscillate in all three directions, exactly as the human body is designed to do.

Acceleration Training stimulates body's natural response to vibration.

This means that one can improve functional force (stability, strength, or power) by either applying more mass or more acceleration to the body. Many forms of training and condition use mass--as seen in methods with weight machines and free weights. Power Plate machines, by contrast, use the second half of the law of motion equation: they apply acceleration to the body while keeping mass (i.e., your body weight) the same. The result is that you work against a far greater influence, or "load," of gravity in every movement you perform. Power Plate machines are a great alternative for people who enjoy an active lifestyle but don't have the time to perform lengthy workouts three or more times a week.

This particular model, the pro5 AIRdaptive, offers a larger number of settings than other Power Plate models, creating greater variation in your health and fitness routine. More importantly, the machine adapts to more users than any other machine, including heavier individuals, high-intensity trainers, and fragile or lightweight users. This versatility stems from the pro5 AIRdaptive's 100 pounds of extra load-bearing capacity and trio of air settings--one for users who weigh less than 130 pounds, a second for users between 130 and 200 pounds, and a third for users over 200 pounds. Other details include 30-, 45-, and 60-second time settings; high/low vertical displacement settings; and a maximum load of 500 pounds. Backed by a commercial-grade two-year warranty and the testimony of hundreds of professional users, the pro5 AIRdaptive measures 34 by 61 by 42 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 348 pounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best fitness item I ever purchased., January 5, 2010

This review is from: Power Plate pro5 AIRdaptive Vibration Training Machine (Sports)

When I decided i needed to finally take off 80 pounds but had never been active or athletic in my life, a friend of mine who is a fitness therapy specialist recommended this would be a great way to get started without compromising my knees and back and also not taxing my heart as well. So along with cutting out smoking I bought this machine and started using it. The vibration makes you need to go the bathroom sometimes but then it gets used to it. Within the first few weeks I started sleeping better and although I was just standing there, I felt like I had exerted myself. I'm almost 3 months into it and have dropped 17 pounds and have been cold turkey with the cigarettes for about 6 weeks. I've also started adding walking to my routine 2 to 3 times per week. I know I still need to really change my diet (after football season) but this was definitely worth it. I was scared I wasn't going to make it to fifty. If you're not the exercise type but really need to do something about your weight and your health then I highly recommend this machine.
