General advice on training with the abdominal toning belt
In the first week you should not use the abdominal toning belt more than once a day to allow
your muscles to acclimatise slowly to the device. From then onwards you can train more
frequently.
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 nonethe-
less 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
program 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 increa-
sing intensity 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 switch. 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 toning belt has five coordinated programmes, which you can work through over
the course of several weeks. You start the first week with program A at a low level and raise
the level of your training with increasing muscle strengthening. The abdominal toning belt is set
so that after a certain number of training cycles the next programme level is set automatically.
You can also select the program yourself according to 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
