Cathe,
I have become a die-hard fan (started with fit-tv). I have had outstanding results, so Thank You! My question is about a new piece of equipment I have just purchased a PowerPlate. Finding my results are even greater by combining your moves and work-out on Power Plate. Wow. Have you tried this device? I am a Nurse Anesthetist, 48 yrs old, not associated with Power Plate.

It is this thing that promises to intensify your workouts by vibrating you. For instance you can stand on the vibrating plate in squat position. Or you can place your hands on it and hold a low pushup position.

DH got a trial piece for our home. I tried it once. The literature talks about how the machine is used for training (if I remember right) NFL athletes and makes impressive claims. I did not like it. But I had decided even before I tried it out that the claims are not realistic. Also, I did not use it after one try so my opinion is not based on trying the product for a length of time.

I did not feel my muscles working. I was not looking for the burn I get on the last few reps with Cathe, but this just felt mildly zingy (from the vibration) It felt like what it is - an unweighted rep held isometricaly. They talk about using weights as you get more familiar to increase intensity in the manual and I tried some light weight (much less than I do with a Cathe workout). Still zip in terms of feeling it. We sent it back after just one trial.
