Training Programs
It’s a marvel of engineering designed to deliver a variety of training programs.
Just as a pacemaker works the heart muscle, the Contour is like a “musclemaker” for your entire body.
These training programs correspond to the type of muscle performance that you wish to improve or maintain. Simply place the specially designed Gel Pads on the areas of the body you would like to train then select a training program that best fits your needs.

Resistance - 45 minutes
The impulse sequences in this program are intended to increase the time a muscle is able to maintain high power work over short time periods. The intensive contractions of stimulated muscles may induce an exhaustion state in these muscle fibers without psychological fatigue and little cardiovascular stress, The Resistance Program activates the anaerobic metabolism and induces the production of lactic acid and targets a combination of fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers.
Strength - 45 minutes
This program imposes high power works mainly on the fast-twitch muscle fibers and develops the maximum contractile force in a muscle. The program is intended to increase the maximum strength of muscle contraction and consists of warm-up and workout periods.
Explosive Strength - 35 minutes
This program increases the speed at which maximum muscle force is achieved and is designed to improve performance in activities requiring brief duration of exertion such as jumping, throwing and sprints.The program targets very fast-twitch muscle fibers.
Endurance - 60 minutes
Impulse sequences in this program improve the body's resistance to fatigue (improved endurance) and consist of warm-up and workout periods. This program works on slow-twitch (endurance) muscle fibers.
Active Recovery - 24 minutes
This program consists of low-frequency muscle twitches that simulate like a massage, induce increased blood flow and reduce lactic acid blood level. As a result, muscles recuperate faster from fatigue. So whether you have restless legs, heavy shoulders or a sore back you can use the Active Recovery program for a relaxing massage.
Potentiation (Warm-up) - 4 minutes
The Potentiation Program prepares muscles to work faster and easier at the very beginning of training. It’s like warming-up without fatigue.
