flabelos/powerplate vibration training thingy? any experiences?

[superv1xen]

tried posting this in chat the other week but it sank like a stone, no one knew anything about it :o

so thought i would try it in here, i have bought a course of sessions and i am 4 sessions into it, i think i am looking slightly more toned but not sure if its wishful thinking! the one i am using is called Flabelos but i have also heard them called Powerplate too.

basically you stand on a plate thingy which vibrates and moves around and you have to hold on and keep your balance. ten minutes on it is meant to be the equivalent of 1 hours workout. it seems too good to be true.

my friend recommended it, she has been doing it every day for about a month and swears by it, she says she has lost inches.

so i was wondering has anyone else tried it and if so, what kind of results have you had?

Hi. I used a flabelos machine last year and despite eating like a hog I was never out of my skinny jeans. I plonked on weight this summer and so am giving it another go after a long absence of using the machine. 3-4 times a week and we'll see. I already feel slimmer after a couple of weeks. My muscles ache a lot around hips and thighs. I aAim to keep it up though December and try the skinny jeans test again in the New Year.

I bought a reviber plus to use at home its really helping me tone up I don't think they help with weight loss as such but I am also low carbing and going to the gym and feel a lot more toned ect also it helps with aching legs after the gym
