Y LPG PROGRAM ®

BACK IN SHAPE, ANTI-AGING, AND SLIMMING: MY LPG® PROGRAM TO TAKE YOUR PRACTICE TO THE NEXT LEVEL SMART EXERCISE Physical activity is essential to good health and currently popular among the general public. Yet it is so hard to find an activity that works for everyone! Whether you hate going to the gym, you have lost your motivation to participate in sports, you are in recovery, you are a senior trying to keep fit, or you are simply looking for a personal training program... physical therapists are the most suitable professionals to provide safe and well-informed support to help you take charge of your health. MY LPG PROGRAM provides personalized fitness sessions lasting 30 or 60 minutes to fit the customer’s time and budget.

HUBER MOTION LAB starts by maximizing the duration and effectiveness of each and every exercise, actively building strength and developing muscle balance. By improving circulation, the CELLU M6 then provides a quick recovery without causing muscle stiffness. The all new Pro Soins Techniques provides ideal preparation and recovery.

UNPARALLELED RESULTS FOR THE FIGURE The CELLU M6 is widely recognized for its proven effect in reducing excess fat, smoothing the appearance of cellulite, and treating sagging skin. Backed by scientific findings, HUBER MOTION LAB has recently demonstrated its effectiveness on changing the body’s composition by increasing muscle mass and burning fat, while also correcting posture. The combined effect of CELLU M6 and HUBER MOTION LAB technology is the subject of a groundbreaking scientific study (see pages 6 and 7). With MY LPG PROGRAM, physical therapists can now offer a comprehensive treatment to target the figure – from stubborn fat to cellulite – toning the contours of muscle tissue, all using a fully personalized treatment plan. Protocols lasting 30 or 60 minutes have been developed to provide unprecedented results for the figure.

MORE THAN 72 PROTOCOLS INSPIRED BY CASE STUDIES

The experts at LPG have been working for many years to perfect the synergies between treatments that target connective tissue (CELLU M6) and those designed for the musculoskeletal system (HUBER) in order to develop a more holistic solution for everything from the skin to joints. Working closely with specialized doctors and highly motivated physical therapists, we compiled hundreds of case studies in order to develop more than 72 MY LPG PROGRAM treatment protocols that offer faster, more effective, and more complete results... all using the latest CELLU M6 interfaces and the HUBER MOTION LAB.

ACTIVE AGING GETS A FACELIFT! 20% of Europeans are over the age of 50.

Today, there are more than 100 million seniors in Europe. However, unlike their parents, today’s seniors are heavily involved in activities and travel, and they take care of themselves in order to live better and longer lives. Each year, 5,000,000 babies are born in Europe, which means that there are 5,000,000 new moms needing professional support to help restore their bodies (due to excess fat, lost muscle tone, back pain, etc.), beyond simple postpartum recovery. These groups, who can already be found visiting physical therapists, are only a few examples of people who need a personal specialized approach to protecting their health both today and tomorrow. Others include those who are overweight and athletes. MY LPG PROGRAM guides physical therapists using 50-minute treatment protocols that combine the veinotonic effects of CELLU M6 with the motor function rehabilitation benefits of HUBER MOTION LAB. LPG’s new Soins Techniques round out the program with in-office and home care.

WHETHER FOR REHABILITATION, SPORTS, OR BEAUTY, THEY WILL BE HARD TO SEPARATE NOW! Philippe PASCAL,

physical therapist in Bayonne Strong supporter of the CELLU M6® + HUBER® MOTION LAB combination

How do you combine the two LPG technologies? P.P. : I first start with a full assessment. I spend about 45 minutes assessing the needs and goals of the person. Then, based on this assessment, I suggest the two techniques and the appropriate “custom package”. There are usually three types of requests: slimming, sports, and prevention, particularly for the back. A growing number of people want to combine the two technologies for beauty. The results are better, but more importantly, they appear more quickly. The CELLU M6 releases fat, and the HUBER MOTION LAB then tones the muscles and improves posture. I also have a lot of customers who want to keep fit. For

these customers, I also suggest a combination of the two machines, with the CELLU M6 being used to promote recovery following exercise. I am also trying to develop a preventative solution. There have been some great developments in this area, and my customers are willing to “invest” in keeping fit. Most have (or have had) back problems, and they often come in to maintain or improve the results they have achieved through rehabilitation or to improve their health.

What are the benefits? P.P. : The two techniques can be combined earlier for more interesting and comprehensive results. Whether for beauty, sports, or rehabilitation, they will be hard to separate now! Combining CELLU M6 and HUBER

also saves me time, both during the session and in the overall treatment. For example, with CELLU M6, I can relieve tension in just five minutes, which would take me 20 minutes to achieve the same result using manual massage. In the long term, the results are excellent and appear more quickly. The similarity of the interfaces also helps customers understand how the machines work together, and with the technological advancements of HUBER, I can develop non-coached sessions. In just a few sessions, my customers can exercise on their own.

men, women, athletes, seniors, and former patients looking to prevent, rather than to cure, a problem. There are also lots of customers who are tired of gyms and who want to take care of themselves in a more calm and reassuring environment, under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Seniors are especially afraid of injuring themselves, but here, they can exercise more comfortably. Over time, I am finding it easier and easier to suggest combinations of the two machines. I tell my patients about it all the time because I am convinced that everyone can benefit from it in some way.

What is the profile of your customers? P.P. : There are so many! There are

fast, targeted results with little e BEHIND THE CREATION OF THE ALL NEW MY LPG® PROGRAM ARE THE AMAZING RESULTS OF A NEW STUDY CONDUCTED BY ESP CONSULTING AND DIRECTED BY JEAN-BERNARD FABRE,

WINNING RESULTS

A RESEARCHER IN SPORTS PHYSIOLOGY AND DIRECTOR OF A SCIENTIFIC TRAINING AND RESEARCH CENTER FOR TOP ATHLETES IN AIX-EN-PROVENCE, FRANCE. THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY WAS TO TEST THE HYPOTHESIS THAT LIPOMASSAGE™ COULD MAXIMIZE THE RESULTS OF A HUBER® MOTION LAB MUSCLE STRENGTHENING PROTOCOL ON BODY COMPOSITION 6

AND METABOLIC RESPONSES TO EXERCISE.

› -16% on the abdominal skin fold › -5 cm around the waist › -5% max. body fat › -13% max. gluteofemoral body fat › 100% oxidized gluteofemoral fat

■ A LARGE-SCALE STUDY Four test groups totaling 60 subjects followed an eight-week protocol. • Groupe 1 : Control (no special treatment) • Groupe 2 : Program involving walking on a treadmill for 30 min. twice weekly at Lipox Max*. • Groupe 3 : Twice weekly 30 min. LIPOMASSAGE program + 30 min. walking on a treadmill at Lipox Max. • Groupe 4 : Twice weekly 30 min. LIPOMASSAGE program + 30 min. HUBER MOTION LAB session

Before and after the test period and again four weeks after the end of the protocol, each subject underwent a series of anthropometric and metabolic tests using assessment tools developed in partnership with the Northern Hospital of Marseille.

■ DISCOVERY OF A PHYSIOLOGICAL PHENOMENON The main results of this study show that a program combining LIPOMASSAGE and muscle strengthening with HUBER MOTION LAB produces significant changes to body composition, particularly in areas treated with LIPOMASSAGE. Here are the key findings...

2X FASTER OXIDATION OF FAT! Exercise using HUBER® MOTION LAB combined with LIPOMASSAGETM treatments can significantly accelerate

how quickly fat is naturally burned when compared with traditional muscle building exercise. With only eight hours of exercise (or four hours of real effort), the combined LPG program produces a 1.5% loss in body fat, compared to traditional muscle building, which produces no loss in body fat even after three months** !

CURRENTLY THE MOST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR BURNING GLUTEOFEMORAL FAT!

Even more incredible, the combined CELLU M6 + HUBER MOTION LAB program can target fat burning in the gluteofemoral area, which is notorious for its low metabolic response. In just eight hours of exercise (or four hours of real effort), the combined LPG program can burn 200g of fat in the gluteofemoral area alone! This single finding has never been seen for any other type of exercise. Only this combination of LPG technologies can target this refractory adipose tissue so effectively and precisely. LIPOMASSAGE promotes the beta-adrenergic response in treated adipose regions, while exercise using HUBER MOTION LAB maximizes plasma catecholamine levels.

■ 8X FASTER MUSCLE GAIN! Combined with the CELLU M6 treatment, isometric exercise in a standing position with a high level of force, available with HUBER MOTION LAB, appears to be perfectly suited for targeting fat burning and a rapid increase in muscle mass. In just eight hours of exercise (or four hours of real effort), the LPG combination increases muscle mass by 0.5kg, while traditional exercise produces no measurable results after 27 hours**!

■ RESULTS THAT LAST! While this is not news to physical therapists who are experts in LPG techniques, there is indisputable scientific proof. Results of the combined CELLU M6 + HUBER MOTION LAB program show persistence after at least one month, with continued improvement in torso muscle gain after exercising is stopped.

This persistence in the effectiveness of the combined LPG techniques can be explained by the direct action of CELLU M6 on energy metabolism because the Lipox Max of the subjects can increase after treatment, perhaps due to increased fat consumption during exercise. The new MY LPG PROGRAM method combining the benefits of CELLU M6 and HUBER MOTION LAB is built on solid and substantiated scientific evidence. It promises to be a steadfast means to control weight and improve the breakdown of fatty acids in areas that are less responsive to metabolism. The fast results combined with minimal effort (four hours over two months) are also key to encouraging patients to continue in the long term.

The core of your business is obesity. Can you tell us some more about that? A.T. : We originally treated cardiac patients with a tailored program that uses exercise bikes on a system that is connected to a computer (measuring heart rate, training time, load, etc.). A diabetologist put me in contact with Dr. Becouarn, who suggested that I treat bariatric patients before and after surgery. This was the start of our work with patients who fundamentally needed us on several points.

You have done a lot of work on this subject in order to offer patients affected by this condition some real treatment solutions... A.T. : After seeing the study by JB Fabre*, I thought about setting up a study on the impact of HUBER MOTION LAB on gastric bypass patients. Gastric bypass is a surgical procedure used in cases of morbid obesity (BMI >40). Through the procedure, stomach capacity is reduced in order to limit food absortion in the digestive system. This operation, which is reserved for patients averaging 140-150kg, is followed by a very rapid weight loss (40-50kg in six months) and a major reduction in lean muscle mass. The goal is to lose as little muscle as possible. We have found that, with HUBER, these patients double their individual max strength in 10 sessions.

Gastric bypass reduces stomach capacity in order to limit how much food is absorbed in the digestive system.

Interview with Dr Guillaume BECOUARN Bariatric surgeon Anjou Clinic in Angers, France

What are the advantages of using HUBER® MOTION LAB after surgery? G.B. : As a surgeon, I am most interested in increasing muscle mass. We find that there is major muscle atrophy in obese patients as a result of their low activity. Also, following surgery, there is a deficiency in metabolism, and muscle is burned first. Besides its cardiovascular benefit, HUBER MOTION LAB allows us to maintain and build muscle mass, which is very important to us.

What are the results for your patients? G.B. : The technology behind this machine brings patients enormous benefits. Psychologically speaking, it’s crystal clear. The activity is not difficult, and obese patients soon acquire a love for exercise. With regard to muscle, Alexandre Thomas uses graphs to show a benefit based on force and activity. Obese people can accomplish a significant amount in a half hour, which I can attest to having tried the machine! We have just begun a research project with Alexandre Thomas, which will help us to better understand how metabolism works in obese people. This will give us greater perspective and prove these results.

How has it changed the way you work? A.T. : Working with HUBER MOTION LAB has changed things tremendously. With regard to patients with limited mobility, especially before the surgery, Dr. Becouarn told me “You’re reshaping my patients.” What is particularly noteworthy is that it increases their desire for exercise! These are isolated individuals who need to rediscover how to live, and it is our goal to help them do that through this process. When they drop from 140kg to 100kg, it changes their life. One of my patients once told me, “I used to exercise for an hour and a half at the gym, and now with HUBER, I get the same results in just 30 minutes.” Every measurable variable improves! What works with HUBER MOTION LAB is that it is a challenge. With the LPG software, you always see the results from the previous session, so I challenge them to do as well or better every time! I familiarize them with the various settings, including coordination percentage, maximum force, and average force, and I reduce the target in order to increase the challenge! They like that it is fun, and they are motivated because it works! Finally, because obese patients often have back problems, the stool (HU SEAT) is very useful because we can do short sessions to improve the mobility of the back. The heart rate monitor (HU PULSE) shows us all of the information about the strength training.

Are you familiar with Cellu M6®, and if so, do you think it would help to use HUBER® MOTION LAB and Cellu M6® together to achieve a shared set of goals related to this condition? A.T. : Absolutely! I am familiar with CELLU M6 because we are fortunate enough to have one at Village Santé. I work with it during therapy to treat scarring. Of course, there is also the matter of how much it costs for patients, but we currently have five patients on a combined CELLU M6 and HUBER program. We start by releasing fat and firming with the CELLU M6, and then we burn fat and build muscle with HUBER. The results are extremely encouraging. We are doing regular assessments using photos as evidence. Seeing is believing when it comes to motivation.

“I have used LPG® techniques a lot throughout my career, especially with Real Madrid, and when asked about the Z5 project, working with LPG® simply made sense.” ZINÉDINE ZIDANE THE ZINEDINE ZIDANE Z5 SPORTS CENTER IN AIX-EN-PROVENCE, FRANCE WAS INAUGURATED ON THURSDAY, JUNE 23. Z5 IS THE SPORTS COMPLEX FOR SOCCER, WITH 17,000M2 OF PLAYING AREA.

Associated with the Zidane’s highly identifiable Z, the 5 has five meanings: • Five shareholders run the complex (the four Zidane brothers and Robert Sichi). • Zidane wore jersey number #5 when he played with Real Madrid. • Five values cherished by the “Clan Zidane” encapsulate the project: friendliness, responsibility, solidarity, openness, and fair play. • A fee of 15 per person, which for Zidane symbolizes universal access to the sport, consistent with the stadium’s location in the Marseille’s northern quarter, where it all began.

• The five-a-side soccer game for more fun, more sharing, easier play, and more excitement! LPG is very proud to partner with such a well-founded organization that brings together strong values that are central to an active and healthy lifestyle, with 1,300m2 dedicated to fitness (LPG Endermospa, pools, steam room, sauna, cardio rooms, exercise rooms, etc.). Among prestigious partners (Adidas, Orange, etc.) luxuriously sits a CELLU M6 Endermolab, a HUBER MOTION LAB, and an LPG lounge.
