Specific applications
To firm and sculpt the body
T he Toning , Firming and Shaping
programmes impose perfectly adapted
and progressive work on the muscles.
T his very intense muscular activity
(hundreds of seconds of sustained
contractions) first tones and firms your
muscles, then redefines their contours to
sculpt your body. In this example, we
assume that the fitness enthusiast wants
to work on her arms. It is of course
possible to stimulate other muscles as
well. Also this stimulation routine can be
applied to several muscular groups at the
same time (e.g. arms then thighs).
