Preparation for a fitness enthusiast who
wants to adopt a varied muscle training
approach
I n this example, the fitness enthusiast
wants to work above all on her arms. It is
of course possible to stimulate other
muscles as well. Also this stimulation
routine can be applied to several muscular
groups at the same time (e.g. arms then
thighs).
A n increasing number of people empha-
sise a diversified training carried on in a
natural setting. During training, different
work-out routines are alternated and
different muscles are stimulated. For
example, after a few minutes of slow
jogging, the trainee does a series of
accelerations followed by some jumps,
before resuming a slower jog, and so on.
The objective is to work on different
muscular qualities without however
emphasising any one in particular.
This kind of activity is frequently done
either at the beginning of the season, for
general muscular reactivation, or done
regularly by leisure-time sports enthusiasts
who do not want to emphasise any
particular kind of muscular performance,
but rather want to stay fit and reach the
right level in all kinds of muscular work.
M ost fitness enthusiasts want to improve
their muscle qualities and, with this aim
in mind, pursue objectives that may be
different: improved muscle tone, increased
endurance, greater muscle volume, etc.
The means used to achieve these different
objectives involve different kinds of
voluntary training and the use of specific
electrostimulation programs.
O ther fitness enthusiasts prefer to develop
all their muscular qualities, without any
emphasis on any one of them in particular.
In this case, it is useful to subject the
muscles, during the same session, to
various kinds of stimulation, such as those
produced by the
Combined workout
program through its 8 routines that
automatically form a sequence.
