Put a new spin on your fitness routine for 2012 with Power Hit. This exciting new workout concept is the ultimate quick fix that can help to burn fat, increase strength and improve stamina, all in just 25 minutes.

High Intensity Training (HIT) is one of the most talked about New Year fitness trends and once again Power Plate International is ahead of the game with the launch of this new concept, which offers the ideal way to get out of your fitness rut and into a new way of exercising.

Drawing on the principles of a HIT workout, this new class concept combines resistance exercises on the Power Plate® machine with intensive bursts of interval cardio on the new Power Plate® powerBIKE™.

This circuit-based program uses the dynamic capabilities of the pro6™ model to improve muscular strength, interspersed with progressive intervals on the powerBIKE to push cardiovascular levels up a gear, helping to increase VO2max, burn fat and aid weight loss.

While low intensity aerobic workouts have traditionally been considered the best method to reduce fat, research shows that HIT training burns fat even more effectively.

Lasting just 25 minutes, the Power Hit class is a quick fix for time-pressed people searching for a results-driven way to shake up their fitness routine, as it combines two important fitness elements; cardio and resistance.

The benefits of vibration training as a way of increasing muscle strength and power are already validated with more than a decade of scientific research. Adding the cardiovascular benefits of cycling to an Acceleration Training workout really gets the heart pumping, to burn fat, build muscle and improve stamina.

So this year, why not take your fitness routine up a gear and try Power Hit, the high intensity workout that will put you on the right road to improved health and wellness during 2012.

Power Hit will be previewing at the Power Plate studio Harrods from 8th of January 2012. Available at selected studios nationwide from Spring 2012.
