Working Out

Once  you  enter  the  workout  mode  your  display  show  you  the  times  for  the 
various  stages  of  your  workout. 

(fig.  16)  This  will  be  different  based  on  the 

program  you  choose.  See  table  below.

  There  is  no  need  to  press  the  select 

button as the program will start automatically.

Electrical Current Intensity

The  intensity  of  the  electrical  current  determines  the  number  of  
working  fibers  in  the  stimulated  muscle.  With  a  lower  current  intensity, 
there are fewer working fibers. With a higher current intensity the number of 
working  fibers  is  increased.  To  reach  a  significant  percentage  of  working 

fibers,  you  should  reach  a  minimum  intensity  of  30  mAmp.  This  threshold 

 

intensity  can  be  reached  within  the  first  two  sessions  by  progressively 
increasing  the  intensity  during  muscle  contractions.  Once  this  threshold 
is reached, continue to progressively increase the current intensity to make the 
stimulation more effective.

Setting the Intensity

When  the  program  starts,  the  Intensity 
Levels will be at "0" and blinking. 

(fig. 17) 

Using the "+" end of the toggles, increase 
the  intensity  to  your  maximum  comfort 
level. The left toggle controls the left side 
of your body and the right toggle controls 
the right side of your body.

Periodically during your routine the built-
in "auto-coach" will urge you to increase 
the intensity of your workout by emiting a 
beeping sound.
