In addition to improving overall health, working out vigorously can improve your overall appearance and burn away stubborn fat deposits. Belly fat, especially fat stored around the lower abdominal muscles, is particularly difficult to burn. When used in conjunction with an abdominal workout regimen, an electronic muscle stimulator can help tone abdominal muscles to get rid of stubborn belly fat.
Step 1
Perform your usual workout routine that includes direct abdominal strength training. Consider crunches, oblique crunches and reverse crunches to target your upper, oblique and lower abdominal muscles.
Step 2
Rest for 15 to 45 minutes to allow your muscles to recover appropriately.
Step 3
Insert the electrode lead wire hub into the muscle stimulator's power output jack. Connect the lead wires to electrode pads.
Step 4
Clean the entire abdominal area with soap and water. Dry the area thoroughly.
Step 5
Rub conductivity gel onto your abdominal region, covering each of the muscles onto which you intend to attach electrodes.
Step 6
Peel off the adhesive covers from the leads and apply them directly onto the muscles as prescribed by your doctor, physical therapist or other health professional.
Step 7
Set the muscle stimulator to the prescribed frequency and duration using the stimulator's corresponding dials or buttons.
Tips and Warnings
- Consult your doctor, physical therapist or other health professional before using an electronic muscle stimulator.
- Only use the prescribed pulse settings.
