Actress Ahn So-hee (32) introduced her favorite exercise.

 

On the 11th, a video titled "Elle Korea" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Elle Korea' with the title "H; I shouldn't tell you everything... Son So-hee's first reveal of Hand Min-su's item | ELLE KOREA." In the video, Son So-hee talked about power plate exercises. When asked, "How about power plate exercises?" Son So-hee replied, "Among the exercises I do, the one I've been doing the longest is power plate, but..."

 

I replied, "I like it so much." Ahn So-hee said, "Basically, since the exercise time is only 30 minutes, it's not too burdensome," and added, "But even with just 30 minutes, the difference really depends on what movements you do during that time." She continued, "If you do cardio, you'll sweat a lot even in 30 minutes, and even simple stretching is much more effective, so I actively recommend it to friends who delay starting exercise." What kind of exercise is the Power Plate exercise, which Ahn So-hee revealed she has done the longest?

Power Plate exercise is a workout method that uses the Power Plate equipment manufactured by the American fitness equipment company 'Power Plate.' The Power Plate is a piece of exercise equipment with a platform wide enough for a person to stand on, equipped with handles. When the power button is pressed, subtle vibrations of 30 to 50 times per second appear in all directions—up, down, left, and right. Vibration exercises like the Power Plate were originally invented in the 1960s for astronauts. Astronauts living in the weightless environment of space can experience muscle and bone weakening over time. To prevent this, vibrations are applied to the entire body to achieve exercise effects.

 

When doing Power Plate exercises, you can stand on a vibrating platform and perform simple strength exercises such as push-ups or squats. Power Plate workouts also allow you to quickly feel the muscle stretching effect. Since the Power Plate machine vibrates the human body, flexibility improves compared to stretching on the bare floor. It is known that the length of the body when bending and stretching before and after Power Plate exercises differs by about 2 to 3 cm. When the vibrations of the Power Plate are transmitted to our bodies, the body continuously tries to correct its disrupted balance, thereby enhancing balance sense.

 

Powerplate exercise is good for massaging areas where you want to induce relaxation. Additionally, the subtle vibrations gently relax the muscles, making it a safe exercise for the elderly without the risk of joint injury. Powerplate exercise involves using muscles throughout the entire body, so a 30-minute workout can provide the same benefits as a 2-hour and 30-minute workout. For health management, doing it once a week is sufficient, and for quicker results, 2 to 3 times a week is recommended.

 

However, beginners must exercise under the supervision of a professional due to the risk of injury. It is sufficient to check whether there is a 'Power Plate Master' who has completed the Power Plate training course with an instructor. In the case of domestic certifications, they are issued by KFTA (Functional Training Academy).

I looked up what power plate exercise is.

It's exercising using equipment.

Muscle exercise and stretching

This is only for 30 minutes, but it seems the effect is good.
