Power Vibe CF1250 Vibratory Plate Review

Health Fitness

If you are looking for home exercise equipment to get your whole body in shape, then you may be considering purchasing a vibrating platform. Vibrating plate training has been a real eye-opener in recent years and has helped countless people lose weight and inches while really ripping the body. If you’ve never used a vibratory plate before, it can be really hard to understand what to look for in the machine. What should you take into account before committing to that purchase?

My first experience with vibration plate training came as a result of my gym membership, and when I quit, I decided I still wanted to continue vibration training as a way to reach my weight loss goals. Having a basic knowledge of the product led me to focus on several things before making my purchase:

Plate size (platform)
Motor size (varied speeds recommended)
Arm handles (needed to help maintain balance)
Price (always important)

With these four factors in mind, I went with the Power Vibe CF1250. The price was affordable at under £300 and I loved the 8 preset programs that got me started with workouts straight away. I find that with these programs I am not standing aimlessly wondering what is going on; each program challenges a certain part of the body.

A vibrating plate is different than other more typical pieces of home gym equipment. With a stationary bike or a rowing machine, for example, the exercise routine is simple: you pedal or row. A vibrating plate is slightly different because you need to perform exercise routines while standing on it. Imagine doing yoga stretches or an aerobic routine while standing on the vibrating platform and you’ll get the point. So you have to use your initiative a bit or you won’t really get anything out of your training. The CF1250 is ideal for beginners because it comes with a DVD that gives you an introduction to the product and shows you a series of exercises to do as part of your routine. This was extremely helpful and meant that I didn’t waste valuable time trying to figure out how to use the board correctly.

Another great benefit of the Power Vibe CF1250 was the fact that it came with power cords (elastic straps with handles so you can exercise your arms during your workout) and a gym ball. You can incorporate the gym ball into your exercise routine (you’ll need to watch the DVD for instructions on how to do this) and it adds an extra dimension to your workout. Very few other vibrating plates seem to come with free accessories like this and these “freebies” are probably what convinced me that the Power Vive CF1250 was right for me.

Overall this is a great vibrating platform and it costs a fraction of some of the other models on the market. I enjoy the routines and can see the benefit. A great product!
