UNIQUE FEATURES OF NEOPRENE
Neoprene products are comfortable and effective. They compress the area and keep it warm while the micro-pores in the neoprene fabric allow the skin to breathe. This improves the blood supply, improves metabolism and assists the tissue renewal process.

Neoprene products help provide relief in cases of injury or chronic disease of the motor neurone system. They relieve pain, reduce swelling, and improve the strength of joints. You can lead an active life again!

NEOPRENE PRODUCTS HELP TO:

- Support and protect muscles, ligaments and joints during physical activity.
- Prevent injury; and help rehabilitate muscles, ligaments and joints following trauma.
- Reduce occupational stress/strain on the body.


NEOPRENE IN THE BATTLE AGAINST CELLULITIS

Previously it was considered that women's cellulitis was only a cosmetic defect. Today however, we know that cellulite is a sign that it is time to change your lifestyle and turn to a healthy diet and exercise.
Wearing neoprene shorts for 2 hours daily works directly to reduce cellulite. Within a few weeks, the results will appear (a reduction in the layers of fat and the renewal of skin elasticity).
Neoprene products stimulate the metabolism, accelerate the destruction of sebaceous cells and the elimination of waste substances. Blood circulation and lymphatic outflow improve as the dilated subcutaneous capillaries become constricted as a result of compression.

Remember, the best results are obtained when neoprene is worn during physical activity.
When treating cellulite, you need a complete anti-cellulite programme. Wearing neoprene shorts should be combined with other measures such as:
- a healthy diet and physical activity

- massage of your body's problem
areas

- application of anti-cellulite creams

Maintain a balanced diet and avoid foods that lead to obesity and fluid retention. Exercise regularly. Cellulite appears first in areas where blood and lymphatic circulation is impeded because of idle muscles. Choose a simple exercise routine and do the activities 3 times a week for 20 to 30 minutes. Jogging, cycling, swimming and water aerobics are all good exercise. Manual or mechanically-aided massage improves the blood supply and lymphatic outflow, and intensifies the effect of anti-cellulite creams.

THE TONUS ELAST FITNESS SCHOOL

HOW TO SIT CORRECTLY
When we sit, the main stress is on the lumbar region of the back. Therefore, it is important that the chair supports the back in this place. Try not to bend over books - place them relatively high to make reading easier. To avoid circulation problems, adjust the height of your chair and use a foot support. Change your body position every 15 minutes.

HOW TO STAND CORRECTLY
If you need to stand for long periods, avoid standing in the same position. Shift your weight from one foot to the other and change your body position regularly to avoid placing strain on your abdominal and hip muscles. This will relieve stress and strain on your back.

HOW TO LIFT HEAVY OBJECTS CORRECTLY

When lifting or moving heavy objects, bend your knees, not your back. Hold the weight as close to your body as possible, then straighten your knees to stand up.
Do not raise your hands above shoulder level when placing things on high shelves. Use a step-ladder if necessary. While carrying heavy things, avoid twisting or turning your body, as this can injure your back.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT SIZE

The elasticity of the fabric allows the correct size of product to be chosen without needing to try it on. To get the correct size, you need to know your measurements (in centimetres):

- Waist measurement cm.

- Hip measurement at widest point cm.
- Measurement around the thigh at
widest point cm.

- Measurement around the calf at
widest point cm.

- Measurement around the ankle cm.

- Shoe size cm.
