As with any other training program you can over-train on the Power Plate.
Positively Fits’ programs are specifically designed not to over-train our clients. But everyone has a different physiology. And, all exercise is stress. This being said, you must be able to adapt to the stress of the training.
Whole Body Vibration Training is an unconventional form of training. As with any type of sports or physical exertion, you will have to allow your body to get used to a new type of workout. This is why we have scheduled several “beginner” classes.
Whole Body Vibrations research recommends full body workouts two to three times a week with proper rest and recovery time in between workouts. You can stretch and massage on the machine every day.
Positively Fit sessions last 30 minutes
A Power Plate workout is intensive and quite taxing, and you will certainly perspire – albeit not as heavily as during an intensive cardiovascular program – especially when you expand the number of exercises or shorten the period of rest in between.
Headaches are normally caused by not taking in enough fluids prior to training. Research has shown that almost 70 percent of the population is suffering from dehydration as a result of drinking coffee and alcohol, smoking, stress and not drinking enough filtered water.
There is a window of opportunity 15 minutes after training when you should help replenish the muscles and to aid in recovery from the exercise session to achieve maximum benefits. You should replenish your body with optimal amounts of carbohydrates and high quality protein within that window.
Whole Body Vibration Training can cause the blood sugar level to drop quickly. This can occur because this type of training activates almost 99% of your muscle fibers. As you are activating more muscle fibers you are also activating more insulin receptors which are the sponges for glucose or sugar.
The majority of people who use the Power Plate will say that they immediately feel energized, their legs feel “alive” and their mind feels more awake and clearer. It is also common to feel more flexible.
Many people will feel a slight itch on their body and their nose will be tingling during and after training on the Power Plate.
