Just wondering.. has anyone tried using electronic toners on their legs to aid in cycling? (the little patches you stick to you that keep electricuting ya lol).
I am fully aware that they wont make me "stronger" as such, but what benefits would there be of doing this? I am also aware that i should not use this "Instead" of biking. I would bike just as much, just slap them on when i have some spare time on my hands..
If you have tried, let me know what your opinions are.
i use a compex regularily. i am a racer and i baught the compex for the Active Recovery feature. that particular program works very well for me. i trained last year without the compex and would have to take a day off after a particular kind of training. with the active recovery, i can sustain multiple, "hard" training days without going into the red. i will use the Endurance program once a week. it will never replace training. i havnt noticed any improvements specifically because of the Endurance program, but i keep it in my program (maybe to help me cope with the cost!). like any other training method, it has to have purpose. nothing replaces old-fashioned training
Interesting.. 2 forums. 1 ripped them to shreads and 1 says they have a purpose (im guessing the main good feature you are finding is this recovery program, which enables you to do long hard cycles every day without going OTT and having a burnout?
I was referring to the toners that are used to tone the ab's. Is this compex thing something totally different? Never know, it could help out when i come to do my 4 day 100 milers..?
