INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the world of Electronic Muscle Exercise. You have taken the first step to
improving your muscles and overall physical well-being. The PowerStim 15R is a very effective
and easy to use exercise/therapy unit. It is a versatile and unique product that has been designed
to duplicate the effects of regular exercise in the privacy of your own home or office. The
PowerStim 15R is fully adjustable, there are no preset programs; with this unit YOU are the
program. You can adjust every bit of the PowerStim 15R to fit your body and get the results you
are looking for.
Your PowerStim 15R was designed by our engineers working in consultation with
Electro Physiotherapy Departments and Exercise Science programs at major university hospitals
around the country. The device incorporates new techniques in micro-circuitry and solid-state
technology. This new design incorporates several functions that are found in products used in
hospitals that cost thousands of dollars.
EMS (Electronic Muscle Stimulation) training can be used in conjunction with resistance
training programs or aerobics programs. EMS training can be done every day using alternate
muscle groups every other day. The muscle groups should be stimulated 15-30 minutes every
workout.
EMS can also be used as a pre-warmup 15 minutes before you resistance training or
aerobics routine. Using this technique it will increase blood flow to the stimulated muscle group
and exhaust the muscle; but not to the point of fatigue. You should then wait 10 to 15 minutes
before working out that particular muscle group. And alternate to a pre-workout is a post-
workout. Using this technique allows you to remove the waste products in your muscles (IE
Lactic Acid) a lot faster than by normal methods. The post-workout allows your muscles to
recover much faster than they would with only a physical, mechanical, or weight workout.
Faster, more smooth recovery of the muscle translates to increased growth, strength, and
endurance in your muscle groups.
EMS training can be used to increase the benefits of your cardiovascular and weight
training exercises.
