Power Plates Expensive Gimmick or a Genius Invention?

This revolutionary piece of equipment has been all the rage with celebrities, who claim that the oscillating platform has transformed their bodies with minimal effort and no risk from injury.

The whole concept of losing weight and getting into shape simply by standing on a vibrating plate has invited huge media attention, all thanks to excellent marketing and celebrity endorsements. The notion of standing, sitting or lying on something that effectively does the exercise for you is every dieter's dream - and the manufacturers know it. We live in a society where we want everything now and with minimal effort, and vibrating platforms appear to be that miracle ‘pill' every dieter would die for. It intrigues me that these vibrating plates are marketed with claims that you can 
  • Improve fitness levels

  • Increase fat combustion

  • Improve coordination

  • Reduce stress

  • Improve flexibility

    All of these miraculous results can apparently be achieved in 10-20 minutes without raising a sweat. It's everyone's dream. A quick 10 minutes' standing on a vibrating platform and your workout is done - you can now spend more time in the pub rather than wasting time at the gym and wearing out your trainers!

I've read some really good things about it and some really bad, the thing is i really don't know in what to believe, so ill be following a program of 20min 2x a day 5 days a week and weekly ill keep you updated about the results. 
ill combine a set of steady and dynamic exercises that can be easily download from the internet or youtube.
