When you are comfortable with the stimulation time of 10 seconds you should gradually
increase in 5 second intervals to the time that is most conducive to your body. At this time
keep the relaxation period at around 5-8 seconds. In doing this you have lowered the ratio of
time between muscle stimulation and relaxation times. This is heading towards your ultimate
goal of longer stimulation times and shorter relaxation times. Again, use these settings at a
comfortable level until the muscle movement tells you that you are ready to increase the
settings. During these increases in stimulation time you will gradually increase the intensity
of the energy flowing through the electrodes by slowly turning up the Intensity Control
Knobs to comfortable levels.
YOUR ULTIMATE GOAL

THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE STIMULATION TIME

THE LOWEST POSSIBLE RELAXATION TIME

THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE INTENSITY SETTING

ALL CONSISTENT FOR THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND COMFORTABLE
WORKOUT
It takes time to reach the higher settings if you have done little or no exercise
recently. Soft muscle tissue can handle only short contractions and requires longer
periods of relaxation time when you first start to exercise. As you use your PowerStim
15R the muscles you exercise will continue to get stronger thus allowing you to move up
to longer stimulation times and higher intensity levels.
Over the course of this exercise program you may have some muscle soreness.
This is very normal for muscles that have not had regular exercise. This soreness will
wear off as your muscles become accustomed to the exercise. If, at anytime during the
workout, your muscles start to hurt, as opposed to being sore, discontinue use of the
machine and let yourself rest until the next day. This is your body's way of telling you
that this muscle has had enough for today.
