To burn maximum calories
E lectrostimulation causes muscle work
and therefore the expenditure of energy,
which means calories burnt. However,
unless combined with a suitable diet, the
calories burnt by physical activity, even
intensive, cannot produce significant
weight lost. For example, a person of 70 kg
who runs a marathon expends about
3,000 kcal, i.e. only one third of a kilo of
fat. It is therefore necessary to have a
low-calorie diet in order to lose weight.
Muscle work will then be useful, because
it allows more calories to be burnt. The
Compex
Calorilysis program was develo-
ped with this in mind: it makes large
muscle groups work at a rhythm that
consumes many calories.
T he ideal thing is to have a well-balanced
diet, low in calories but rich in vitamins,
protein, minerals and trace elements,
combined with half an hour of cycling or
swimming a day, and to use the
Calorilysis
program to burn a maximum of calories
and consequently make your diet as
effective as possible.
Cycle duration: 15 weeks, 3 x/week
Progression in the levels
Week 1: Calorilysis level 1
Weeks 2-3: Calorilysis level 2
Weeks 4-6: Calorilysis level 3
Weeks 7-10: Calorilysis level 4
Weeks 11-15: Calorilysis level 5
Program: In each week, it is advisable to alternate
the muscle groups to be stimulated as described
below:
1 st session of the week: Calorilysis 9ABL f
2 nd session of the week: Calorilysis 8G c
3 rd session of the week: Calorilysis 10I v
To act on local cellulite concentrations
E ven slim people with a firm body can
have local cellulite accumulations, i.e.
areas of skin characterized by infiltration
of the tissues and an "orange peel"
appearance. Many treatments are available
to tackle this problem but, except for
surgical intervention, none of them has
proved to be really satisfactory in terms of
efficacy. On the other hand, a combination
of local cutaneous treatments (ultrasound,
drainage, mesotherapy, suction,
compression rollers, etc.) seems to give
the best results.
I t is in this context that the Adipostress
program is of interest. Used alone, it
cannot eliminate cellulite even though
it is clearly more effective than the old
electrolipolysis. On the other hand, the
electric stress applied to the fat deposits
and the cutaneous vasodilatation reinforce
the actions of other local treatments used
simultaneously.
Cycle duration: 5 weeks, 3 x/week
Progression in the levels : Step to the next level
every week
Program: Adipostress 34I v
