Your motivation: Fitness
ou run, you swim, at times you roller-skate or simply, walk. Ultimately, you
Y
can't always do as much as you like or as promised. Regardless, with a mini-
mum of motivation, you know you could do more to remain in the best shape
all year round.
n this context, the Fitness programmes put you more in control of reaching
I
your goals. They will help you to maintain your energy and vitality, so that you
can take full advantage of all your physical activities.
Programmes
Muscle starter
I f you are not regularly active, this
programme will help you activate your
muscles and ease you back to some
physical activity. This is a great pro-
gramme to initiate your experience
with electrostimulation.
Muscle building
T his programme will help you not only
to obtain firm and well shaped muscles,
but also to develop in a balanced man-
ner your musculature in general
(strength, volume, tone). If you have
never used electrostimulation, we rec-
ommend you start with the Muscle
starter programme.
Body building
I f you want to increase your muscular
mass, this programme is the right one
for you. Complementary to practice in
the gym, it will help you to obtain the
results that you are expecting.
Jogging
T his programme is useful as preparation
and support for your voluntary jogging
sessions. It increases your comfort level
during this type of effort and significantly
improves your endurance.
Combined workout
B y subjecting your muscles to different
working routines, this programme has
been designed to maintain your overall
physical condition or to reactivate your
muscles after a period of rest and before
a more intense and targeted physical or
sports activity.
Active recovery
T hrough a strong increase of the blood
flow and an accelerated elimination of
muscular contraction waste, this pro-
gramme stimulates and activates your
muscular recovery. It has a relaxing and
soothing effect after particularly sustained
muscular work or strenuous physical
activity.
