To firm the body and improve the
elasticity of the skin
T hese programmes are intended for peo-
ple who have just lost weight or people
whose skin has lost its tone and elastic
qualities over the years. The great efficacy
of the
Toning, Firming and Shaping pro-
grammes allows the restoration of strong
muscles, a firm body and a shapely figure.
The combination with the
Elasticity pro-
gramme increases the oxygen flow in the
skin, intensifies cellular exchanges and ac-
tivates the elastic fibres so as to retighten
the skin and restore its elasticity.
I n this example, we assume that the fit-
ness enthusiast wants to work on her
arms. It is of course possible to stimulate
other muscles as well. Also this stimula-
tion routine can be applied to several
muscular groups at the same time (e.g.
arms then thighs)

To burn maximum calories
E lectrostimulation causes muscle work
and therefore the expenditure of energy,
which means calories burnt. However, un-
less combined with a suitable diet, the ca-
lories burnt by physical activity, even
intensive, cannot produce significant
weight lost. For example, a person of 70
kg who runs a marathon expends about
3,000 kcal, i.e. only one third of a kilo of
fat. It is therefore necessary to have a low-
calorie diet in order to lose weight. Mus-
cle work will then be useful, because it
allows more calories to be burnt. The
Compex
Calorilysis Calorilysis programme
was developed with this in mind: it makes
large muscle groups work at a rhythm that
consumes many calories.
T he ideal thing is to have a well-balanced
diet, low in calories but rich in vitamins,
protein, minerals and trace elements,
combined with half an hour of cycling or
swimming a day, and to use the
Calorilysis
programme to burn a maximum of calo-
ries and consequently make your diet as
effective as possible.
Cycle duration: 15 weeks, 3 x/week
