Training and exercising at home is a dream for some people – the power of the entire gym in the palm of your hands. Whether you’re an avid routine-ist, repping out curls and bench press, or you’re simply interest in running five miles a day, obtaining the equipment you need is quite gratifying if you’re not interested in traveling. The early 21st century has brought with it tremendous advances in home gym equipment, including vibration training – The Power Plate MY5 is an excellent example.

The Power Plate my5 model, an exciting Acceleration TrainingTM machine, brings great full-body fitness results in home workouts as short as 30 minutes a day, only three days a week. Advanced Vibration TechnologyTM, the science behind Power Plate machines, provides a revolutionary, low-stress exercise and rehabilitation solution. This would ultimately enhance your workout by keeping your body/muscles guessing. A diverse schedule = less stressful life!

With three frequency options between 30–40Hz, it’s more customizable than the my3 machine and its larger plate surface provides more maneuverability. It also has a higher maximum load, pre-programmed quick start buttons and a remote control operating all exercise positions. The sleek design on the my5model combined with the machine’s technology creates a wonderful blend of science and elegance at home.

Amongst other common household exercise devices, like treadmills and ellipticals, the MY5 would be an excellent addition.

I don’t recall another fitness product that has received such an extensive and lengthy advertising campaign than The Perfect Pushup and The Perfect Pullup. Of course there is the Bowflex, which has been in existence for quite some time, but other than that, the majority of fitness equipment products are gimmick ab machines that seem to eventually fizzle out and fade away. Since The Perfect Pushup and The Perfect Pullup keeps advertising, my interest in this piece of equipment has peeked and I’m considering purchasing one. I’m more interested in The Perfect Pullup because I find pullups an essential back exercise and I start out with pullups in every back routine. Additionally, I prefer to workout my chest with free weights and the twisting motion can easily be added when conducting a dumbbell bench press.

From what I’ve read on The Perfect Pullup, it’s getting nothing but great reviews. The twisting motion that The Perfect Pushup introduced is in The Perfect Pullup and unlike a pushup, this motion can’t be imitated while doing actual pullups like you can do with free weights on the bench. The twisting motion allows you to work more muscles, helping you create that V-shape back you’re craving, while at the same time, help burn fat around your waste. I previously wrote on the importance of working out your back. After reading all the great reviews out there, I am planning on purchasing this product. It may be a little pricey at $99, so I would scour eBay, but the $99 may be worth it.
