This Cardio Wave machine thingie is very nice. You get a lovely swooshy dancing feeling when you’re doing it right, which lasts for approximately 5 reps before your ass starts to burn. I say ass; it’s specifically the tensor fasciae lataes. See? We’re educational, too.
Nick likes the shoulder press machines. I can’t stand them. I’d rather use a barbell any day of the week.
I remain unconvinced by the Power Plate. It rattles my brain and brings back memories of those terrible machines in the 80s where you would wrap a giant rubber band around yourself and the machine would jiggle you. It doesn’t feel like my muscles are working any harder, though I like the idea of improving bone density without having to do high-impact exercises.
The massage option is nice, but seriously? A vibrator from Ann Summers [NSFW] would be cheaper, easier to target specific muscles and take up far less space.
