Stevie Nicks is 60-years-old, but when she gets out on stage she still moves like she did when she was a young 20 something with the band Fleetwood Mac.  In a recent interview with People Magazine she revealed that she is a user of the Power Plate in order to stay fit.  She said,

“When I gained my 30 lbs., it was because I went on tranquilizers for eight years.  I don’t blame myself for that….You don’t have to weigh 105 lbs. Weigh 125 lbs. and stay there.”

Ms. Nicks said that during the 80s she wasn’t on tranquilizers,

“I would have stayed at 125 pounds from 1985 and [later on] probably would have weighed about 130 pounds. That would have been way better than fighting to get back to 130 lbs. from 175 lbs.”

Her workouts on the Power Plate that she does every other day have helped her get back into shape:

“I do it every other day for 13 minutes, you can’t get results faster than that.”

These two sexy and sassy stars, Rosario Dawson and Kylie Minogue, are fans of the Power Plate.  The Power Plate my3 Vibration Training Machine (shown above) is a machine with a vibrating platform that triggers muscle contractions 30 to 50 times per second while the person using the machine attempts to stay balanced while doing exercise repetitions.  The Aussie songstress Kylie said,

“It is a great invention and a convenient, time-efficient workout.”

The Power Plate can be bought and done at home or there are now quite a few gyms that offer it as a class.  The machine is considered to be more efficient than regular training and thus a great time-saver because more muscles are activated at once allowing for a full body workout.  In addition, it will tone and increase muscle strength and improve posture.  The manufacturers of Power Plate claim that 10 minutes on their machine will give the same results as 60 minutes of a traditional strenuous workout.
