Power Plate

Sorry me again, forgot to ask if it is safe to use a Power Plate. An exercise machine which vibrates. Any knowledge on this one please.

Vibrating machine

Jules,
The answer is simple. If you have Rate Response turned on your pacer will sense the vibration and increase your heart rate. Whether this is a problem depends on how it makes you feel. It be that the increase is appropriate to the exercise you are experiencing from the machine.
If Rate Response is off then it shouldn't have any effect.

Thanks Frank. No my rate response is off. I'll give it a go and see what happens.

Thanks

Julie

As for my pacemaker (almost 7 years old) I like to think of it in the terms of the old Timex commercial - takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
