hi every one ive been trying to keep to a diet and do a bit exercise, i have heard that power plate its a machine you stand on and it vibrates, and its suppose to be good for your joints . i would like to hear from anyone that has one and does it work before i but one thanks sylvia

Hi Sylvia , I haven't got a power plate but i have used one a couple of times. I go to Bannantynes swimming club and there is one in the gym. It is strange as everything really vibrates and wobbels. This type of power plate will cost a fortune but i have never looked at any for home use. I could do with using it regular to get some weight off. I cant get motivated. Kathleen Mc.

Hi Sylvia

I've got a Power Plate machine at home. It has a raised plate on the floor and you step on it and hold onto the handlebars, which come up from the floor like a push bike!! It is great for joints and now used in several physio departments. It's certainly helped me. You just stand still, hold on, and it does all the work for you. I enjoy it! We've also bought an exercise bike so the conservatory is now a gymn/hobbies room!! Have you got a pilates ball? I am using this every day as well, and it is really helping my core balance.

Lots of love

Mine are all OK. My consultant said it was fine. Perhaps you had better check first though with your GP
