How do Body Toners work?

When exercising, your muscles receive small electrical signals via nerve endings to stimulate a contraction. Once a muscle has contracted and the nerve is no longer sending a signal, the muscle relaxes. Body toners mimic these signals repeatedly to reproduce the muscle contractions of physical exercise.This passive exercise, known as Faradic muscle stimulation, has been widely used over 30 years by medical and sports therapists and is now well-established as an aid to body building and toning – now you can benefit from this method at home.

How soon will I see the results?
As with all effective methods of building and toning muscles, regular sessions are essential. After the first week of daily sessions you will notice a firming of the muscles you have been working on. These improvements will become more noticeable as you continue with your programme.Thereafter, to maintain the condition of your muscles, you can use your body toner as often as required, for example, two or three times a week. Obviously, in any toning or fitness programme, the best results will be achieved when you combine exercise - passive or otherwise - with a suitable diet.

How will I know the pads are correctly positioned?
When the pads are correctly positioned and moistened with conductive gel you should experience a reduction in the localised tingling sensation and feel a strong muscle contraction. Always turn the controls to off/zero before moving any of the pads.

Can I use it too much or have the settings too high?
Your body toner is designed to be totally safe and, within reason, you cannot over-use it. Over a short period of time you should be able to find your own output levels which will deliver an effective and pleasant rhythmic pulse. However, as with any exercise programme, if you experience any discomfort you should stop and, if necessary, consult your doctor.

Can men and women benefit from using body toners?
Of course, all our body toners are designed to be safe for use by either Men or Women, however, some programmes are more suitable for Men and some for Women - this is always clearly indicated in the instructions booklet.

Can everyone use body toners?
No, do not use body toners if you have any of these conditions; pacemaker, heart disorder, epilepsy, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, skin disorders or if recovering from an operation. Pads should not be placed on sensitive parts of the body or over scars, moles, or varicose veins. Women who are pregnant or have an IUD fitted should not use body toners.
