Here are the programs it comes with:
EXERCISE PROGRAMS:
SLENDERTONE ENERVIVE has three programs for warming-up and exercising your muscles.
Exercise Preparation - Program 1
This program gently warms up the muscles prior to exercise. It uses a technique called “twitch potentiation”
to prepare muscle fibers for exercise. It feels like a rhythmic massage. Increase the intensity until you
get a strong but comfortable muscle movement.
Build Endurance - Program 5
This program uses a low frequency pulse train which favours slow twitch fibers. It develops their aerobic
capacity and capillary supply and thereby improves fatigue resistance during long duration moderate
intensity exercise. The exercise comprises an alternating sequence of work and rest phases lasting
several seconds. Increase the intensity until you get a strong and deep muscle contraction. Do not exceed
your comfort level.
Muscle Strengthening - Program 6
This program uses a pulse frequency appropriate to fast twitch muscle fibers. It improves their anaerobic
capacity and is used for improving maximum muscle strength. The exercise comprises a sequence of
work phases separated by longer relaxation phases. Increase the stimulation intensity until you get a
strong and deep contraction. Do not exceed your comfort level.
POST-EXERCISE RECOVERY:
SLENDERTONE ENERVIVE has three programs for active recovery following exercise.
Active Recovery 1 - Program 2
This program produces muscle twitches at very low frequency and it feels like a tapping massage.
This stimulates blood flow and helps speed up the removal of lactic acid as it accelerates the exchange
between the blood supply and the muscle fibers. As a result, the muscles recover more quickly from
fatigue, becoming more relaxed with reduced stiffness. Use it after intense exercise to promote recovery
and relaxation.
Active Recovery 2 - Program 3
This 20-minute program is similar to Active recovery 1 except that the muscle twitch rate slows down
during the session. It feels like a tapping massage, but softer than Active Recovery 1
Active Recovery 3 - Program 4
This form of stimulation activates the muscle in a rhythmic motion in a short contraction/ relaxation
cycle. It feels like a kneading massage and is smoother than the other active recovery programs.
