Rosario Dawson and others use Power Plates to stay fit
The other day I posted a story about Fleetwood Mac singer, Stevie Nicks who claims to have dropped a ton of weight by using Power Plates. That was the first I’d ever heard of the strange, vibrating exercise contraption that is now taking Hollywood by storm.
Rosario Dawson and Kylie Minogue are fans of the Power Plate, a machine with a vibrating platform that creates a rigorous workout by triggering muscle contractions (between 30-50 times per second) while the user tries to stay balanced during exercise repetitions. “It is a great invention and a convenient, time-efficient workout,” says Minogue about the device, which reportedly helps tone, increase muscle strength as well as improve posture.

I don’t know that I would feel comfortable with the muscle contractions but hey, if it works, it works. Let’s just pray these ladies don’t start twitching involuntarily over the next few months.
