Important Notes

Please read carefully the conditions listed below before starting your training with XBody EMS technology:

  • In case of malaise, ailment, dizziness or feeling aching tightness around the chest or heart area you must inform the trainer to immediately stop the training.
  • If you feel any heat or discomfort on your skin during the training, you need to ask the trainer to switch off the device.
  • There will be reflex-like muscle contraction movements caused by stimulation impulses. Maintain pre-contracted muscles if possible and acquire a stable basic position.
  • Ensure proper water intake before and after training.
  • If you feel necessary have a short break during the training and drink a glass of water.
  • Make sure that you had a proper meal 2-4 hours before your training.
  • EMS training might cause micro tears in the muscles, which usually leads to muscle soreness, and elevated creatine kinase (CK-MM) level in the blood. This is a natural reaction of the human body to intensive trainings (such as XBody EMS trainings).
  • In case you have your blood analysed 2-6 days after your last EMS training it is important to inform your doctor to prevent incorrect misinterpretation of your values.
