Establishing the Bluetooth connection

Communication between the app and your box is established once a Bluetooth connection is made.

To establish the Bluetooth connection, please tap “Bluetooth” at the top right on first use.
In the following view, select “Scan.”

You will receive a list of Bluetooth devices available nearby.

Please select the box to establish a connection to it.

Requirements for a Bluetooth connection

• The box must be charged and turned on. You can tell by a bright glow of the green/blue LED.
• Turn on the box by pressing the button (a slight indentation in the center) for 2 seconds. The LED lights up blue
• To turn off, press the button for about 6 seconds
• Your location must be enabled for the app so that the Bluetooth signal can be processed correctly
• You will NOT find the box in your usual Bluetooth settings on your phone because we use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)

Settings under “Parameters”

The parameters are already preset with default settings. When you click + or –, you can vary the parameters highlighted in black.
The following programs (“modes”) are already preinstalled on the eaglefit EMS System App:

Fitness

Please select the setting “4/2,” meaning a pulse duration of 4 seconds and a 2-second pause. Ideally, you contract the muscle for 4 seconds during training and relax it for 2 seconds.

The fitness program is optimal for building large-volume white skeletal muscle. It increases your maximum strength and promotes muscle growth. Your white skeletal muscle is best trained with 6-8 repetitions per muscle group at about 80% of maximum strength. The impulses are applied to the respective muscle group at a frequency of 85 Hz without stressing joints, ligaments, or tendons with heavy training weights. The pulse width in this program is 350 µs.

The fitness training should be combined with exercises and can be well supported, for example, with sling training or HIIT training.

Recommended training:

• Strength/weight training
• few repetitions (6-8)
• 1 set per muscle group

Metabolism/Cardiovascular

Please select a pause time of 0 seconds for continuous pulse. The pulse duration setting then does not matter.

The metabolic program, which trains the red endurance muscles, can be specifically used for muscle toning. It is our classic endurance/athletics program. The activation of slow-twitch muscle tissue breaks down fat and increases muscle definition. The training frequency is 7 Hz with a pulse width of 350 µs. 

This program is ideal for warming up and improving blood circulation and metabolism. Metabolic training should ideally be combined with endurance exercises such as:

• Nordic Walking
• Jogging
• Cycling
• Exercises on cardio machines
• Yoga
• Static exercises (do not set intensity too high)

Relaxation

Please select the “1/1” setting, meaning a pulse duration and a pause of 1 second each.

This program produces gentle muscle twitches and promotes muscle recovery, faster regeneration and is also used for functional restoration after illnesses. At a training frequency of 100 Hz and a pulse depth of 150 µs, tension is released and muscles are supplied with nutrients.

You can use the relaxation program for 5-10 minutes after an intense workout (with or without EMS) or after a tiring day for 10-30 minutes at a moderate intensity, for example simply on the sofa.

Select a low intensity here – the impulse should provide a pleasant, massaging sensation.

Individual

Choose the settings individually according to your preferences or therapeutic recommendations.
Advanced users can freely adjust all parameters (impulse frequency, impulse depth, pulse duration, pause, and training duration) with this program. Frequencies from 1-120 Hz and pulse depths from 50 – 400 µs are possible here.

Deep Core for deep muscles near the spine

This training program is specifically designed for gentle but targeted strengthening of the deep muscles near the spine. The goal is to activate the deep stabilizing muscles in the back to relieve the intervertebral discs and support the spine in the long term.

How it works:
The program creates a consistent alternation of muscle tension and relaxation. The moderate impulses at 27 Hz primarily improve muscle endurance and stability. The comparatively long pulse duration ensures an intense yet gentle load, while the short pauses allow for even blood circulation and regeneration.

Application area:
- Support for back problems related to disc issues
- Strengthening of the deep core muscles
- Prevention of poor posture and muscular imbalances
- Suitable for beginners as well as for people in rehabilitation

Video training

In this program, you can have training exercises demonstrated by an avatar and create a small training plan from pre-made exercises. The special feature is that you can choose a different frequency and pulse depth for each training. Simply hold your finger over the desired exercise for 2-3 seconds until the preview image lifts, then you can drag it into the row below and arrange it. You can also remove exercises from the row in the same way.

Fat burning

Please select the setting “4 / 2,” meaning a pulse duration of 4 seconds and a “break” of 2 seconds. In this special program, you combine the benefits of the fitness and metabolism programs. During the active phase, you train with 60 Hz for maximum strength, and in the passive phase (break phase), the endurance muscles are stimulated with 7 Hz. This way, you alternately challenge both muscle fiber types in one program.

Pulse depth

With “pulse depth,” you can set how long the impulse lasts that you set under “frequency.” This value can only be configured in the “Individual” parameter. A single electrical impulse can last 50-400 µs.

The higher this value is set, the deeper the impulse penetrates the muscle. For example, you can optimally target large muscles like the thigh muscles, gluteal muscles, or back muscles with a pulse depth of 350 µs.

Pulse duration

Duration of the impulse in seconds, adjustable from 1-40 seconds (indicated by a green number counting down during training).

Break

Length of the break during training, 0-40 seconds (indicated by a red number counting down).

Training

For most training programs, we recommend a duration of about 20 minutes per session.

Frequency

The number of impulses per second. For example, in the training program “Fitness,” the muscles contract and relax 85 times per second.

Putting on and taking off

The eaglefit EMS Pants are available in sizes XS to XL. It is important to choose a perfectly fitting size so that the electrodes lie close to the body. The EMS Pants are worn directly on bare skin, without underwear or other (sports) clothing. The electrodes do not need to be wetted; they should be placed directly on the muscle to be stimulated. The close contact with the skin ensures optimal transmission of the current to the muscle.

For the electrodes of the Pants to transmit energy through your skin to your nerves and muscles, a very thin moisture film is needed. For some skin types, it is enough to wear the Suit for 2-3 minutes; other skin types need to warm up for 5 minutes with jumping jacks, burpees, or sit-ups before the impulse strength can be increased. If the moisture film is missing, you may feel an unpleasant, slight stinging on the skin surface. In this case, reduce the impulse strength on this muscle group and do some more jumping jacks or squats before increasing the intensity. With heavy body hair or very dry skin, stimulation may be impaired. In this case, you can lightly moisten the skin in the affected areas with a cloth or use our Electrode Spray.

The eaglefit The EMS Pants are ideally turned inside out for putting on. Step into the eaglefit Roll the EMS Pants up from above the knees so that the electrodes are already positioned correctly on the body. After training, you roll the eaglefit Take off the EMS Pants from top to bottom so that they are turned inside out again.

Always make sure to avoid strong pulling on the EMS Pants when putting them on, wearing them, or taking them off, as this could cause damage to the cable connections.
After training, roll off the eaglefit EMS Pants inside out. Then wash the Pants according to the washing instructions or hang them on a clothes hanger to air out.

The training/exercises

In general: If you feel unwell, stop the training immediately and consult a doctor if necessary. Never train if you feel unwell or are sick.

Even in case of problems or malfunctions of the EMS system, the training must be stopped. Contact the manufacturer in case of technical issues. 

1. Warm-up

Before an EMS training session – as with any fitness training – the muscles should be prepared for the upcoming load. Warming up leads to the following effects:

• The conductivity between electrodes and skin increases with light sweating
• Increase in core body temperature
• Improvement of energy supply processes in the muscle
• Increased production of joint lubricant
• Increase motivation and focus on the upcoming training

We recommend a short endurance session to warm up, for example some jumping jacks, burpees, or 3-5 minutes on a stationary bike.
Here you can already set and activate weak impulses.

2. Training/Exercises

In general, you can perform all movements and workouts with the eaglefit EMS Pants in dry weather both indoors and outdoors. Your imagination is the only limit. Jogging, boxing, yoga, sling training, functional training, HIIT, or bodyweight training. Only moisture (e.g., rain) should be avoided with the Pants.

As a suggestion, the eaglefit The EMS system includes an exercise poster showing exercise options for the entire body using your own body weight.

3. Stretching

After the workout session, you should stretch for 2-3 minutes—possibly combined with the “Relaxation” program.

Stretching has the following effects:

• Reduction of muscle tone
• Improved breakdown of metabolic products
• Improved muscle regeneration
• Promotion of mobility
