Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
How does the AbTronicX2 really work?
A.
AbTronicX2 is designed to copy the messages sent from your
brain to the muscle during exercise. This message causes the muscle
to contract and relax.
Q.
Can muscles become over-developed or strained?
A.
No - the principle is the same for general training of muscles- the
more exercise, with suitable periods of rest, the stronger the muscles
become.
Q.
Can this machine be used for all ages?
A.
Yes - absolutely. AbTronicX2 is not age dependent and can be used
at any age. However, the very elderly and children
should use it under supervision and, keep the intensity low.
Q.
Will I find it uncomfortable?
A.
As long as the belt is moist and kept firmly against the skin you
will not feel any unpleasantness. At low intensity you will feel
a slight tingling sensation but as the intensity gets higher you will only
feel the pleasant contraction. Start using it on your upper Abs first, not
directly over the belly button where most people are most sensitive.
Q.
Should the intensity settings be the same for each muscle?
A.
Each muscle will respond differently, so intensities will accordingly be
different. Move the belt around to find the right trigger point that gives
you maximum contraction.
Q.
Are there any contra-indications to use of the machine?
A.
Yes - If exercise is inadvisable due to ill health, then a medical
practitioner should be consulted before using this or any other device.
Read all contra-indications on the last page carefully!
Q.
When should I notice any effect?
A.
Depending on the frequency of use and body fat, you should
notice increases in strength within 1-2 weeks. Muscle tone
and definition will show within approximately 3 weeks after
incorporating the AbTronicX2 into your program.
Q.
I am getting a prickling sensation but no contraction.
A.
Move the belt slightly to find the right trigger points that give maximum
contractions and the most pleasant feeling. Try increasing the
intensity. This could also be caused because either the belt does not
have enough toning gel on it (water based) or is not tightly placed
against the skin. Failing this remove belt and wash inner surface with
wet cloth and soapy water to remove body oils.

How should I use AbTronicX2 to speed up my recovery rate?
