do 30 push upps on the powerplate while its going on full force,

Of course this will work, obviously you cannot use this and do no exercise because then your just shaking fat about, but if you work out using this will help i would imagine. I doubt virgin would have spent 80k on something that offered nothing.

They do work but most folks don't seem to know how to use them. My mom in law bought one and it did nothing until she had an instructor show her how to use it properly. Essentially you do exercises (like push-ups, squats, knee raises etc) on it. The vibration causes your muscles to need to work harder to compensate so the effect of the exercise is increased. This is what the plate-professor told and showed her.

Yo Remybfg10k, we're in Cape Town. I see you're in Centurion and if interested, I could get you contact details of someone there. It's pretty big up there. I have a few students from Pretoria who are studying down here training at the moment.
The Powerplate works on vibration PLUS acceleration. It vibrates from side-to-side, back-to-front and up-and-down in cycles. The vibration keeps the body off-balance resulting in the body reflexing to keep it on-balance. The up-and-down is the acceleration, effectively increasing body-mass as it accelerates you up against gravity. The body increases muscle to cope with the increased weight.
Any further info needed and/or research material, p.m. me your e-mail adress and I'll forward stuff on.
Cheers,
Roy

How do you see bone density improving?

I bought this machine for blood circulation and hoping it would help for that too. I just thought it was a bogus claim as you have to go for specialised tests to show it.

on the highest settings.... you want to die, but can't lift your hands to get the gun to your head

so i think it works, and you don't just stand on in, while it is vibrating, you do exercises, it hurts, like hell !!!
