Your muscles are moved by signals sent from your brain via nerves to your muscles which then contract and move the body part you wish to exercise. A passive exercise machine does the work for you by sending a signal straight to your muscles making them contract involuntarily. Just imagine - while you relax, read, watch the television you can achieve the same visual effects as a strenuous work-out. You may even experience some next-day soreness. Passive exercise is not new. For more that 30 years it has been used in both the medical and beauty fields to tone muscles. Q. Will dieting help?A. As your physical activity decreases, and as your metabolic rate slows down with age, you may find yourself gaining weight and losing your youthful curves beneath an ever growing layer of fat. With crash dieting, 30% of weight loss can be muscle loss.

Fat does not. Use a minimal dieting. Don't' eat below a 1000 calories per day and push up your metabolic rate with aerobic exercise (i.e. exercise that increases your heart rate) at least three times a week for at least 20 minutes each time.

Don't despair, when you have time to sit down, put some pads onto your upper and lower abdominal muscles and with gentle contractions let the Lean Machine exercise you back into shape. And when you have regained your figure, continue with regular treatment to maintain your shape. Q. How often should I use the Lean Machine?A. Everyday for super quick results then, when you are in shape, 3 or 4 times a week for Maintenance. Q. Is it safe for all ages to use?A.

AB Gym BeltQ: What is passive exercise and how does it work?A: Your muscles are moved by signals sent from your brain via nerves to your muscles, which then contract and move the body part you wish to exercise. A passive exercise machine does the work for you by sending a signal straight to your muscles, making them contract involuntarily. Just imagine - while you relax, read, watch the television (or even doze) you can achieve the same visual effects as a strenuous work-out. You may even experience some next-day soreness. Passive exercise is not new. For more than 30 years it has been used in both the medical and beauty fields to tone muscles. Q: Why am I so out of shape?A: You have 639 skeletal muscles, representing approximately 40% of your body weight. During your early years you exercised naturally: as a child you ran and played, in school you had sports and P.E. When you left school you probably said 'goodbye' to those beautifully toned muscles! Gradually those firm strong muscles become soft and slack. They shrink, lose their strength and cease to hold the surrounding fat and skin in place. Sagging, bulging and dimpling (sometimes called cellulite) are the unattractive results. As you start to lose your firm youthful contours you may need to buy clothes two or three sizes larger - even though your weight may have remained constant. Add to this fact that from the age of thirty-five, male or female, you lose ½ Ib of muscles tissue every year and gain 1 ½ Ib of fat and you can understand how 'sleek and firm' becomes 'out of shape, soft and flabby'. Q: Will dieting help?A: As your physical activity decreases and your metabolic rate slows down with age, you may find yourself gaining weight and losing your youthful curves beneath an ever growing layer of fat. With crash dieting, 30% of weight loss can be muscle loss.

However, you should start to see and feel results after two weeks of daily use. Q; Will I be slimmer?A: You will look slimmer because your newly toned muscles will hold you in like a corset. Q: What about exercise?A: There is probably no exercise program that works all your muscles, or works them hard enough to give you the desired effect on your appearance. Most people have times when their energy level is low. Some women feel particularly drained during or before a period. Or maybe pressures at work or at home leave little or no time to exercise. Don't miss out. When you have time to relax, treat yourself to an Ab Gym Belt session. Q: How can Ab Gym Belt help after childbirth?A: Do not use the Ab Gym Belt while you are pregnant.

Q: There are some white paper discs on the back of the belt, should I remove them?A: No, we do not suggest you remove them as they can tear the foam coverings underneath.
