Power Plate & Cross Trainer Courses at Taje Temple of Beauty

 

 

How the Power Plate Works

 

Power Plates 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.

 

The power Plate creates instability in the human body, as with each vibration the body is forced to perform reflexive muscle actions, multiple times per second. Furthermore, as these contractions work in multiple directions the net result is an incredible improvement in force production, or strength and power.

 

Benefits of the Power Plate

 

Power Plates offer a host of benefits, ranging from immediate improvement in blood circulation, increased muscle strength and flexibility, improved range of motion, decreased cellulite, increased bone mineral density, reduced pain and soreness and faster recovery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How a Cross Trainer Works

 

A cross-trainer is a stationary exercise machine used to simulate stair climbing, walking, or running without causing excessive pressure to the joints, hence decreasing the risk of impact injuries. For this reason, people with some injuries are able to use a cross trainer to stay fit, as the low impact affects them little.

 

A cross trainer is comparable to a treadmill in its exertion of leg muscles and the heart. Cross Trainers produce an intermediate range of leg motion between that of stationary bikes and treadmills.

There are claims that the dual action exercise of a cross trainer can actually be more efficient in burning calories. The logic is that by exercising more muscle groups simultaneously, a more intense workout can be achieved in less time. It is also suggested that the perceived rate of exertion is lower. However, other studies have shown that the rate in which calories are burned on an elliptical trainer is similar to that on a treadmill.
