How does the
Electronic Body
Toner BTS work?
The Body Toner BTS sends tiny electrical impulses to the muscle that you want
to train. These impulses imitate the signals that the brain transmits when you
move normally. Thereby the muscle is animated naturally to contract and to
relax.
So if you attach a pair of BTS electrodes to a muscle, the muscle will automati-
cally contract and relax - as it does under bodily strain. Thus, for instance, the
abdomen muscles can be trained without sit-ups and the leg muscles without
jogging etc.
Contraction
A weak signal is transferred to the muscle by the electrodes. As the strength
of the signal is increased, the muscle contracts just as when training conven-
tionally.
Relaxation
The signal stops so that the muscle can relax before the next signal comes.
NOTES
• EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) causes an unusual and
pleasant feeling. You will feel a light tingling sensation and
then skin and muscle contraction between the electrodes.
• The muscle should contract evenly, remain tense for a few
seconds and then relax again gently.
• If you have a stabbing, tingling feeling, the electrodes are not
correctly attached. If this is the case, move the electrodes until
it feels pleasant again and then continue your training.
• As with all forms of training, the rule that the more the muscle
is stressed, the better the results achieved applies here. If you
use the device regularly, you will notice that your muscles
become stronger and tighter.
• The training intensity can be continually increased during the
course of time. You should make sure that it always remains
pleasant for you.
