INTRODUCTION
The Bum and Thigh Toner features 3 toning programmes with 25 intensity levels to tighten, lift and tone the bottom and thigh
area in just a few minutes a day.
Using EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) pulses the Bum and Thigh Toner mimics nerve signals to contract and relax the
muscles of the bottom and thigh. This passive exercise helps condition the targeted areas.

TreatmentOverview: The aim of treatment is to activate the muscle
trigger points by moving the Bum and Thigh Toning contacts over
the treatment area to stimulate a muscle contraction. Once a muscle
contraction is felt, HOLD the unit in position for a maximum of 3
minutes depending on intensity level and comfort.
NOTE:triggerpointlocationsmayvaryslightlyfromindividual

BUM AND THIGH TONER™
For best results we recommend toning each of your chosen
treatmentareaseverydayforthefirstfewweeks,alternatingbetween
toningprogrammes:Day1-Programme1,Day2-Programme2,
Day 3 - Programme 3 etc. Afterwards, use as required to maintain
good tone.
NOTE: When the programme is changed, the intensity level
will drop back to zero.
To begin with, the pulses give a mild tingling sensation and as
the intensity is increased and providing you are on a trigger point
location you will begin to notice muscle contractions. The muscle
contractions are smooth and each contraction will start with a slow
rise, hold itself in a contracted position for a few seconds and then
gentlyrelax. There are25 intensity levelsin total. Werecommend
starting on the lowest intensity level for each trigger point and
building up until muscle contractions are felt.
