Become a MI.BO. Club Member. Join our private or group sessions, or ask for a house-call. Just 15 minutes once or twice a week is all it takes to keep your body physiology toned and moving well into the mature years of your life without having to go to the gym.

The minimum requirement is 15 minutes of active myo-stimulation once a week followed by a 72 hour (3 days) regeneration period which would mean that you would be able to do a maximum of two sessions per week. However, this is a subjective rule, and a skilled personal trainer can develop a custom program that would suit you best. MI.BO. helps you achieve accelerated improvements in strength, endurance and well-being. The perception of aesthetic and physical change takes place after 4/6 sessions of JUST 15 MINUTES twice a week!

Our philosophy is always to recommend an active, dynamic body movement during the 15 minutes MI.BO. techno-fitness sessions. In order to obtain faster and longer-lasting results, MI.BO. members must also follow the correct low-calorie diet suited to their fitness goals.

Muscle response is subjective and can also be affected by congenital factors. It also depends on how much physical activity you have done in the past or are currently performing.

We at MI.BO. don’t believe that one size fits all. Your fitness regimen depends on your fitness and lifestyle goals. For professional athletes and elite trainers, we normally recommend combining it with aerobic work and your specific sport. You can also combine MI.BO. techno-fitness training with established alternative concepts to expand opportunities by offering complimentary training solutions such as TRX, HIIT, Dance, CrossFit, Boxing, Yoga, Pilates and more.

MI.BO. software algorithms allow experienced personal trainers to create customized training for incremental results combining the MI.BO. workout with innovative exercises that they can personalize and develop for specific individuals. MIBO technology provides you the freedom to experience fitness training in a new way – indoor and outdoor. So you are free from the compulsion of always having to go to the gym.

It is no secret that electro-Myo-stimulation (EMS) provides significant proven benefits for working out. MI.BO.’s advanced bio-science MI.BO. NeuroMyo-Boost™technology provides significant benefits for all ages and all walks of life. What does it do?

• It works 350 muscles at the same time. • It saves time as a 15-minute session equals more than two hours of training in the gym. • It reduces the risk of injury. It works the muscles without overloading the bones, ligaments or tendons. • There’s no feeling of wear during the session. This means the intensity can be increased. • It decreases the cardiovascular load during training.

MI.BO. LIVFIT tagline sums up, in the single word, the several benefits that MI.BO. based fitness training will bring to you. Here is a summary of the LIVFIT benefits :

• It’s a useful sport and therapeutic tool with aesthetic effects • It tones your muscles and improves elasticity, strength, and speed • It prevents injuries since there is no impact on the joints • It helps quick recovery of retrograde muscles. • It helps achieve goals faster • Specific exercises can be done for any type of sport, for example, running, boxing, football, etc. • It activates a person’s metabolism to burn fat and obtain energy • Coupled with good dietary regimen, it helps reduce the levels of body fat and cellulitis • Prolonged effort can be done at average intensity • It improves overall blood circulation • It improves performance in elite athletes • It improves cardiovascular and metabolic response in people with metabolic diseases as it affects glucose metabolism

• It reduces stress • It increases muscle mass • It’s ideal when you have little time as you need less time (15 mins) in comparison with traditional training (2 hours) to get the same results. • It works the muscles intensively. More fibers are activated during combined electrical stimulation and active exercise than when such exercise is done separately. In other words, if electrical stimulation and active or traditional exercise are done separately. • It raises the glutes and reduces the hips • It improves a person’s physical condition and enhances performance • It increases the calories burnt after electrical stimulation • It prevents osteoporosis • It produces greater connective tissue activation depth • It reduces back pain and repairs muscles • It helps with post-partum recovery and helps tone the pelvic floor • It is known to resolve problems of incontinence by directly impacting the pelvic floor muscles. • You get smoother and firmer skin, muscle definition and tone

When you undertake physical training, like lift weights, take a step, swim a stroke, or pedal a bike, your brain and your muscles work together. As this happens your muscles groups are used to repeat an action for an extended period of time leading to muscle growth. Whether you use MI.BO.-Boost™ or not, no benefit occurs if there is no input.

No movement training means no benefit! Correctly used, electro-stimulation causes contractions that are even more spectacular when they are localized on a single muscle or muscle group. Motivated individuals familiar with the technique develop up to 100% of their maximum strength simply through electro-stimulation and without any voluntary participation.

The hyper-stimulated MI.BO.-Boost™method, when paired with quality supervised training for just 15 mins. once or twice a week, results in increased strength, explosiveness, endurance, and sustained muscle toning. But, you do need to make the effort of following the MI.BO. movement regimen. We promise to make it fun and demand the least effort while maximizing results.

Fifteen minutes is the optimal duration for your whole body major muscle groups to attain the hyper-stimulation using the MI.BO.BodyWareSmartSkin. You attain a workout experience that would take you more than 2 hours in a regular gym using heavy-duty training equipment. This primed state will last approximately seventy-two hours as the muscle fatigue continues to burn calories during the regeneration cycle.

The benefits from your training will last at least as long as any other training gains if not more depending on the activity in your lifestyle.

Muscle response is subjective and can also be affected by congenital factors. It also depends on how much physical activity you have done in the past or are currently performing.

THE MI.BO. techno-fitness training methods consist of isometric and isotonic work-out motor movement similar to functional bodyweight training.

The difference is that the hyper-stimulation of major full-body muscle groups occurs simultaneously within the MI.BO. BodyWare system.

MI.BO. cocoons your muscles with direct involuntary stimulation of major muscle groups which avoids the need to do rigorous mechanical workouts with traditional heavy-duty gym equipment. Our philosophy is always to recommend an active, dynamic body movement during the 15 minutes MI.BO. Boost™fitness sessions.

MI.BO. Boost fitness training increases the basal metabolic rate consequentially resulting in an increase in energy expenditure, a rapid burn out of calories by the hyper-stimulated muscle groups. In order to obtain faster and longer-lasting results, MI.BO. Members must also follow the correct low-calorie diet suited to their fitness goals.

EMS is not recommended in the following cases:

• Patients with epilepsy • Pregnant women • People with cardio-respiratory problems • Patients with skin pathologies (example: psoriasis) • Patients who are going through or have had cancer • People with a cardiac pacemaker or other electronic devices

We recommend consulting a doctor or a specialist if you have these contraindications and want to start training with electro-stimulation.

During an EMS session, no evidence of tearing muscle injury was ever produced, even in subjects that use maximum intensity. The reason is that muscle tears occur because of high exertions of the muscle at the bone joints, and especially when the contraction occurs in a traumatic brutal way, as may happen sometimes during the practice of certain sports activities. In electro-stimulation, the muscle contracts progressively, over time.

It would need at least triple that stimulation current where the risk of muscle tearing is present. The MIBO Booster is optimized to provide extremely low current during stimulation which limits the system or user the ability to cause muscle damage. Each program is also limited by a cut-off time to ensure no harmful effects are caused to the overstimulation of muscles.

Indeed, given the power of the muscular contractions induced by stimulation, it is legitimate to analyze the potential risk on joints or tendons as well as on the muscle itself. AND FOR MY JOINTS?

The basic use of electro-stimulation consists of working on a muscle whose length does not vary when it contracts (isometric contraction). This imposes a static workout, without movement, in an intermediary position where pressures on joints are reduced to their minimum value. A workout using electro-stimulation is therefore particularly “economical” for joints, particularly if we compare it to some voluntary exercises requiring great movements and often carried out at high speed, which is very restrictive for the joints. AND FOR MY TENDONS?

The tendon is a fibrous elastic structure running alongside the muscle fibers enabling the solid anchoring of certain muscles on the bone structure.

Just like muscle tissue, the tendon develops in response to the request made of it. As it runs alongside the muscle, muscular contraction induces a state of tension that spreads to the tendon. The same occurs when the contraction is initiated by stimulation.

The quality of the micro-impulses generated by MI.BO. stimulators enable the accumulation of electricity in the tissues and the resulting risk of burning to be avoided. Hence, even long-term or continuous applications, as is sometimes the case for some pain relief programs, present no risk of burning.

Neither has any undesirable effect ever been experienced in subjects using electro-stimulation on a daily basis for many years, as is sometimes the case for some medical indications.

All the MI.BO. line of products, including those designed to be used by individuals, comply with all European and international standards on medical devices and guarantee completely safe use.

No. At an early stage, when the intensity is still low, there is a tingling. With the progress of training and with increasing intensity, focus on voluntary contraction to control the impulse and to make the training 100% effective.

Post the training, depending on your myo-skeletal system status there may be a feeling of hardening of the muscles and some pain which recedes during the recovery phase of 72 hours. The feeling is comparable to that of an effort to lift something heavy in a controlled way and the effect fades as you continue the workouts.

The training, if done correctly, does not “make the legs thicken”. It is possible that some individuals, especially women, notice a temporary swelling in the days following training, as a consequence of a slight water retention caused by a greater supply of blood on the surface. This effect will fade as the workouts continue.

On the face of it, rapid physical fitness results with just 15 minutes of exercise sounds too good to be true. MI.BO.-Boost™ training methodology has significant researched data to support the results that have been achieved with the proper use of electric muscle stimulation (EMS).

EMS has been used in former Communist Bloc countries for sport training since the early 1950s. Western countries became aware of its use in 1973 when Dr. Y. Kots of the Central Institute of Physical Culture in the former USSR outlined the tremendous potential for strength enhancement beyond that which was possible by traditional (voluntary) training methods.

Kots was able to show, using a tensiometric device, that the muscle tension produced in a maximal EMS contraction can be up to 30% higher than a maximal voluntary contraction. This finding was corroborated by independent studies and makes intuitive sense, given the nature of the body’s energy conservation system.

See our research section for further details. EMS based bio-science is successfully used in professional sport and physiotherapy for many many years. MI.BO. using its advanced bio-science technology made it highly efficient and wireless with ultimate freedom for indoor or outdoor use in normal lifestyle conditions such as walking, running or exercising with just 15 minutes of light effort training to get effective results.

NASA used EMS technologies to keep astronauts fit in the 70s. The absence of gravity meant that astronauts could not perform conventional earthbound exercise and the lack of movement led to muscle atrophy.

Companies offering muscle stimulators will have you believe that they are all the same and they all have the same functions, whether cheap or expensive. This is wrong.

There is also a belief that using electrical muscle stimulation EMS means attaching electrodes without any concern for the position. This is also wrong. This is the reason why there’s so much skepticism among experts in this sector. It all depends on the methodology.

The fact is, electrical muscle stimulation is somewhat more complicated. The parameters of this technique must be taken into consideration so that it is safe and effective. MyoBoost by MI.BO. significantly differentiates itself from others with our passionate focus on providing and an effective, comfortable and fun way to LIVFIT. Here is how we are different :

• MI.BO. is a bio-electronics company developing pioneering solutions for lifelong fitness, Our technology innovations are meant for professionals & enthusiasts as well as everyday people in all walks of their life.
