6. USE
General information about training with the abdominal and back muscle belt
In the first week, the abdominal and back muscle belt should not be used more than once a day, in or-
der to allow your muscles to slowly adjust to the device. After the first week, you can train more often.
Note: To allow your muscles to recover, you should rest for at least 5 hours between training sessions.
The intensity of training can be matched to your personal fitness level in this way. It is nonetheless
recommended to proceed through a program one step at a time. The programs A to E are coordinated
so that your muscles are given sufficient time to adapt to more intensive training with each application.
Programs A to E differ in their frequency, period of the training pulses, pause between the training
pulses.
The device is set with a training plan so it works through the programs A to E and repeats each pro-
gram a different number of times. You can select the program yourself however.
HOW TO TRAIN CORRECTLY
What you feel when training
At the beginning of the training session you will feel a slight tingling sensation. With increasing inten-
sity you will feel muscle contractions in the surrounding area and directly under the electrodes.
Each contraction starts with a slow rise in voltage; this is held for several seconds at the set intensity.
The muscle then relaxes again gently.
Switching on the device
Press the On/Off/Pause key. A short signal sounds and the LCD lights up. Program A is activated the
first time the device is started.
Selecting the program
The abdominal and back muscle belt has five coordinated programmes that you can run through in a
training period of several weeks. You can start the first week with programme A at a low level and in-
crease your training with growing strength in your muscles. The abdominal and back muscle belt is set
so that after a certain number of training cycles, the next higher programme is automatically set. How-
ever, you can also choose the programme yourself, depending on your well-being and fitness level.
Observing the training cycle
Each training session consists of three phases:
• a warm up phase (30 Hz) of two minutes duration, which prepares the muscles for training
• a training phase (at a different frequency depending on the training program)
• a relaxation phase (30 Hz) of two minutes during which the muscles can relax again
