What follows is probably terrible advice and it's not a plug for this machine, but dang if I'm not seeing results:
Power Plate - Why Power Plate
For most of my life I was probably 6'1 175 to 190 lbs. I could eat whatever and whenever I wanted without affecting my weight much. Normal once or twice a week hockey games and no other exercising (because I honestly hate exercising). I was blessed with fantastic metabolism the first 38 yrs of my life. A coworker once told me "you're the fattest skinniest person I've ever met, I can't believe how much you eat".
A couple years ago I started noticing my belly getting bigger and my normal routine of eating whatever the heck I want (including candy bars and tremendous portions) was starting to creep up on me. Then my once moderate back problems started getting worse. Finally Jan 2018 I decided I needed to do something different and I started yoga. That really helped improve my core and my back problems pretty much went away. A few months ago my gf turned me onto this machine that her gym offered. Was definitely skeptical. But after like 4 weeks (~3x a week for 30 mins) I am noticing tremendous differences in my muscle definition (I basically had no definition/muscle tone prior). I've had my best session in hockey of my life- this is all at 40 yrs old. While I'm probably still at the 200 lb mark, this is more muscle vs fat. I have more energy after games and in life in general. I still hit yoga occasionally but my focus has shifted to the Powerplate thing
I have a big time sugar addiciton and I'm not sure I'll ever wean myself off but I decided that if I'm gonna eat like crap then I need to make sure I'm stemming the bad stuff.
