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 nonetheless

recommended to proceed through a program one step at a time. The programs A to E are coordi

-

nated so that your muscles are given sucient time to adapt to more intensive training with each

application. Programs A to E dier 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 dierent 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 intensi

-

ty. The muscle then relaxes again gently.

Switching on the device

Press the On/O 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 by 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 dierent frequency depending on the training program)

– a relaxation phase (30 Hz) of two minutes during which the muscles can relax again

Program Running time [min] Repetitions Training frequency [Hz]

A 22 4 45 / 60

B 22 4 60 / 80

C 22 8 45

D 31 16 60

E 31 continuous 80

Setting the intensity level

Note: The intensity can only be set if the electrodes have skin contact.

You have to set the intensity level at the beginning of each training session. Press the intensity se

Depending on the intensity, you will firstly feel tingling and later a muscle contraction. Only set the

intensity as high as it still feels pleasant for you.
