Use the vibro plate at my gym as I think they are great for massaging the quads/thighs and calfs (I assume all vibro plates have this setting)…however it caused the reintroduction of my shin splints which i thought were gone when i was doing some strengthening exercises for the legs and as such i now avoid it for muscle workouts in case it brings the shin splints back again. Would avoid using them until you are 100% certain any muscle injuries have disappeared.

Hi, I just came across your site today and first impressions are extremely good and hopefully i’ll be able to use a lot of the info to help me lose weight. The main reason i am replying today is that i tried to download your bleep test mp3 file but it doesn’t appear to exist when you click the URL for it. Sorry for more than likely posting this in the wrong area but i couldn’t find a contact page or link. Keep up the good work.

Cheers

I rarely get headaches but after my first session on the Power Plate I, too, had a bad headache and felt quite strnge, probably this is a similar reaction to that described by Tatiana.

Comment on Feeling Faint When Exercising? by hugo

Wow we have been told! I was hoping that the general reader would not need to be told that normally you will feel fine during exercise. It should also be pointed out that the faint feeling can and often does happen during exercise and not after the exercise. Our body is very clever and it will always send blood when it is needed and not wait until you have slowed down and then look for extra blood. I agree there are many reasons why you could be feeling faint during exercise and that is why we clearly state that you should contact your doctor if this happens to you. Just because it has to do with blood though does not mean the most likely reason for feeling faint is your heart. Other reasons you could be feeling faint are: anemia (low blood count) and other blood disorders, dehydration, viral illnesses, prolonged bed rest, diabetes, thyroid disease, gastrointestinal disturbances, liver disease, kidney disease, vascular disease, neurological disorders, dysautonomias, vasovagal episodes, heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. This is why if you are feeling faint on a regular basis and not just at the gym you should see your doctor. I agree I could have written about all the illnesses that can cause dizziness and faintness but as you can see the list is very long and they can only be diagnosed by a doctor. I try and focus on exercise based topics and I cannot be held responsible for every possible cause, illness and injury that people may face during their training. I make quite sure that I always recommend people consult their doctors as I am not a clairvoyant and cannot treat everyone as an individual (I know, personal trainers do have their flaws).
