That's pretty logical. Muscle tissue cells burn calories by converting nutritients into the energy needed to flex and contract the physical structure of the cells. Electro stim presents a substitute form of energy to cause the same basic mechanical activity in the muscle cells. Therefore the nutrients, and their caloric energy value, are left unused. -

If you can achieve something through discipline and effort you will not on achieve what you want, you will gain character and confidence, and emerge a better person. -
