Power Tonic – Getting In Shape In 10 Minutes A Day!

You may have seen the Powertonic advertised on TV already but what exactly is it  I have purchased one to try it out.

The Theory

Powertonic is the latest fitness device utilising new ‘Vibration Technology’. It works by sending vibrations at 2000 cycles per minute through the base plate, this in turn forces muscles to contract and expand in rapid succession, helping to tone and firm your shape with virtually no effort. All you have to do is step on the plate and turn the dial to the speed that suits you – it’s that simple!

Bold claims…I decided to test them out.

My thought’s on the device

The Power Tonic unit is a very sturdy bit of kit; from my point of view the controls are very well laid out and it is all very simple to use which i think fits in with the theme of the product itself.

Powertonic lets you chose from 4 different workout programs which are suitable for beginners up to advanced users and even includes a fat burning program. To see the difference and work the different muscles in your body you simply change your position on the plate and the vibrations do the rest for you! The good thing about the Power Tonic is that you can work on multiple muscle groups simply by changing the position in which you are in contact with the base plate.

I have experimented with the supplied workout routine, and I must say it does certainly feel like it is working; after only a few minutes your muscles will start to feel warm as they are being used hundreds of times in quick succession.

After using it on my legs for ten minutes, I stepped off feeling like i had been on a 10 mile run, let alone just stood there for 10 minutes!

The 4 different programs

Manual  If you don’t want to follow the pre-programmed settings just select this mode !
Beginners  This mode improves muscle tone and helps to circulate your blood. It helps to prepare the muscles for more intensive work-outs.
Intermediate  This mode provides a more intense work-out than beginners. It provides deep muscle tone, activates circulation of the blood and improves mobility.
Advanced  The most intense mode. It increases the reflex effect of contracting and stretching muscles. This mode rapidly helps muscular development and helps to eliminate tension and improve your physical condition.
Fat Burn  This mode combines the above functions but also helps to burn fat. This helps you refine your silhouette and improve your skin tone.

I have experimented with the beginners and intermediate program so far (as I am slowly getting back into exercise) – and after two week’s if using it once a day I can most definately notice a difference, not only in shape, but also feel of my legs. When I walk now I feel like I can go twice the distance I used to be able too a few weeks ago, and my leg’s no longer itch after a while (they used to itch badly due to bad circulation so I am told).

Once I am more comfortable with it I will try out the fat burn and advanced modes.

I would recommend this product to anybody who wishes to tone their muscles up, or just improve the useable strength in the main muscle groups. Seeing as you can start off using it for only ten minutes a day, you can fit it into to even the most hectic of lifestyles.

In my opinion, this was a well-worth buy, and it is now a permanent fixture in my daily exercise routine!
