Vibration plates anyone using

@charmander33
I invested in the Power Plate Move. Yes, pricey, but I use it everyday and find it to be a great addition to my home gym. I have had a few of my friends who are still very active try it and they are sold. You do need to be careful that it is used properly. I went from being a runner to a cyclist for decades I was not doing enough impact exercise to counter balance the loss of bone through these activities. I just wasn’t informed and now paying the price, but trying to do what I can to give myself the best outcome. I’ve only got this one body, one life.

to @persa I agree with you:
it seems to me Rubin's pushing a product that he spent years putting on market and would like compensation for his time and money : from what I have read on this product, and in my opinion, I feel he misrepresents his affiliation or work with NASA and uses that as a sales pitch.
There was a clinical trial done on this product:
Always do your own due diligence and find/review before spending your hard earned monies.

Some on this forum say it has helped, but at the same time, they have done other activities and nutrients as well -- so, how do you prove that Marydone helped improve bone density. These are anecdotal and subjective opinions.
If it makes you feel wonderful - and you can afford it - Great.

Margaret Martin, Sarah Meeks and Dr Janet Rubin (related to
Dr Clinton Rubin) encourage buying the product with enthusiasm.

On the other hand
Dr Lucas takes a more balanced pros and cons conversation on it. There are 3 parts to his discussion online.

Below is Margaret Martin's endorsement.

Thank you@lhankins for the info. I just looked and you are right...pricey. Especially since I paid for Marodyne already. I'll give it some thought but wanted to make sure I purchased the right one this time. Can't put a price on health. I am not as active as you are so I would just probably stand on it. 🙂 Best wishes for you continual health journey!

A simple exercise on the Power Plate is to march in place. No need to do acrobatics😉. Some gyms have them so you could try it before investing. I paid for it over time with no interest; otherwise I couldn’t do it. Best wishes to you as well in your bone health journey! We are all in this together; hopefully pioneering better care for our daughters and granddaughters.

There is a study conducted I found on the website Natural Library of Medicine, entitled: Safety and severity of accelerations delivered from whole body vibration exercise devices to standing adults. They tested three whole body vibration plates, the Marodyne, Power Plate and Vibrafit. It cautions about the risks and that the devices used should conform to ISO-2631 guidelines and exposure limits. I am considering the Marodyne plate. I am unable to post the link as I am a new member.

@emmy1, I noticed that you wished to post a URL to an article with your post. You will be able to add URLs to your posts in a few days. There is a brief period where new members can't post links. We do this to deter spammers and keep the community safe. Clearly the link you wanted to post is not spam. Please allow me to post it for you.

Thanks, if you can post the link perhaps readers would find it informative.

Could you post a link? I searched VT 007 on Amazon and it brought up a whole lot of vibration machines, but no VT 007 that I could find. thanks!
