Ahn Sohee recommends the exercises to stay in shape…“30 minutes is enough”

Actress Ahn Sohee recently shared her 30-minute workout routine that makes it easier to maintain her figure. In a recent appearance on the YouTube channel Elle Korea, Ahn Sohee talked about the exercise she has been consistently doing. She said, "The exercise I’ve been doing the longest is 'Power Plate.' I really like it," she added.

She explained, "The great thing about it is that the workout only takes 30 minutes, so it’s not too burdensome." She continued, "Even with just 30 minutes, the difference really depends on what movements you do on the plate." Ahn Sohee then recommended the workout to friends who tend to procrastinate, saying, "I definitely recommend it to friends who put off starting exercise."

Power Plate's Vibrations Boost Workout Effectiveness, Reducing Body Fat and Improving Posture

The Power Plate that Ahn Sohee introduced is not an exercise routine but a piece of equipment that uses vibrations. The Power Plate machine creates vibrations when you stand on the plate and hold the handles, activating 30-50 vibrations per second. These rapid, multidirectional vibrations apply pressure and stimulation to the muscles and tissues, promoting muscle contractions. As a result, this helps strengthen muscles and reduce body fat.

Even subtle vibrations cause the body to use more muscles to maintain balance, which also has a corrective effect on posture. The vibrations improve balance and posture as the body reacts to maintain stability. Additionally, the vibrations stimulate blood circulation.

On the Power Plate, various movements can be performed, such as standing, squats, elbow push-ups, and lunges. The vibrations enhance the exercise effect during these movements. After the workout, using the low-intensity vibrations of the Power Plate can help relax muscles, reduce tension, and aid in recovery.

Easy for Beginners, but Caution for People with Weak Bones

Ahn Sohee mentioned that the Power Plate is an effective workout for those looking to use their time efficiently, as it delivers great results in a shorter amount of time compared to regular exercise. It's even considered safe for use during rehabilitation. The intensity, difficulty, and vibration strength can be adjusted, making it suitable for beginners to try without much pressure. However, it is important to perform the exercise under the guidance of a professional to avoid injury.

That said, excessive vibrations from the Power Plate can put stress on joints and ligaments, so it's essential to use the device at an appropriate intensity. For individuals with low bone density, Power Plate exercises can be beneficial in improving strength and bone health. However, for those who already have significantly weakened bones, excessive vibrations could negatively affect the bones. In such cases, it is recommended to avoid vibration exercises and instead focus on low-impact or bone-strengthening exercises.
