Introducing the thinnest and lightest model in the Foot Fit series, 'Foot Fit 3 Compact', which trains the soles of your feet to your calves just by sitting and placing your feet on it.

MTG Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, President & CEO: Go Matsushita) will launch the new "Foot Fit 3 Compact" model on Wednesday, April 22, 2026. This new model is lighter and more compact than previous versions while maintaining the same core functions, expanding the Foot Fit series from the total wellness brand "SIXPAD," which focuses on EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation). Singer and actress Mie Nakao, who at 79 years old continues to take on new challenges with vitality, will serve as the brand partner for this item. A TV commercial featuring Ms. Nakao will begin airing nationwide on April 27 (Monday). SIXPAD is available here: https://www.mtgec.jp/wellness/sixpad *1 EMS: Electrical Muscle Stimulation ■ Background of Mie Nakao's Appointment Mie Nakao, who will soon turn 80, maintains her beauty and health while performing acrobatics on stage. She began strength training after turning 70 and even challenged herself with a trapeze act in a musical at the age of 73. Currently, she cherishes her daily health habits, such as doing exercises in the park every morning. Underpinning this is her unwavering belief in "living life to the fullest." Ms. Nakao's conviction resonates with SIXPAD's vision of a "VITAL LIFE" for everyone – a healthy and vibrant life. This shared philosophy led to her appointment as brand partner. Mie Nakao's Comment "Life isn't fun if you're not healthy. You have to be 'yourself' forever. You can't make excuses for your age. To live a vibrant life, leg muscles are crucial. But you don't have to train your legs intensely; it's important to continue at your own pace, every day. Once your legs are trained and you gain confidence, try going out more. The world will expand, and that alone is enjoyable. Please try things you've hesitated to do before. After all, life is 100 years long." Mie Nakao / 79 years old Singer and actress. Debuted in the 1960s with "Kawaii Baby" and became an instant star. In addition to her singing career, she is widely active in films, television, stage, and variety shows, beloved by generations. ■ Development Background The EMS "Foot Fit series," which allows users to train their leg muscles while sitting down through electrical stimulation, has been highly favored since its launch in 2018, surpassing a cumulative shipment of 1.3 million units*2. We have received various expressions of joy from customers and recognize that in the era of the 100-year lifespan, leg health is crucial for a rich and healthy daily life. We have reaffirmed that creating an environment where leg muscles can be trained regularly and this habit can be maintained without strain is essential. Starting walking or running with insufficient muscle strength carries risks of injury and falls. Therefore, our desire to have more people use "Foot Fit," which allows safe leg muscle training while sitting, has grown even stronger. While the previous Foot Fit series received high praise for its ease of use at home while sitting, we believed that by making it more portable and easier to use within diverse lifestyles, we could prevent disruptions to training habits and make it accessible to even more people. With this in mind, "Foot Fit 3 Compact" was developed with a focus on "thinness, lightness, and portability," while retaining the functionality of existing models. It evolves from the traditional model of "easily training legs at home" to "conveniently training legs anywhere, even when carried outside the home." Driven by the desire to "deliver the importance of leg training more deeply to more people" and "update it into a form that anyone can continue without strain," the Foot Fit series has evolved into the new "Compact" option. *2 Cumulative shipment units for the SIXPAD Foot Fit series from October 2018 to January 2026. ■ Functions Unchanged, Specifications Made Compact and Easy to Use More convenient and easier to use. Lightweight and thin compact design To be accessible to a wider audience, it has evolved into the thinnest and lightest model in the series, achieving approximately an 80% reduction in size*3 compared to previous products. To achieve this thinnest and lightest design, the electrodes and internal structure have been completely redesigned. The unique thin, three-dimensional electrodes enable significant thinning while maintaining the sensation of stimulation. In previous Foot Fit series models, the body's shape itself provided a rocking structure to accommodate leg movements caused by electrical stimulation. However, to achieve a thinner profile, a new structure has been adopted featuring a foldable stand on the back. This model is the result of such technological innovation. *3 Thickness when the stand is stored, compared to Foot Fit 3 Heat. Trains leg muscles used for walking simply by sitting and placing your feet on it Foot Fit 3 Compact approaches the three areas of the soles of the feet, shins, and calves by simply placing your feet on it while sitting, leading to healthy legs. In addition to a training program to build muscle, it also includes a conditioning program to directly care for the calves. ■ Areas of Approach 1. Calves Referred to as the "second heart," these muscles are essential for walking, jumping, and all leg movements. 2. Shins These muscles are indispensable for walking and maintaining posture, such as lifting the toes and maintaining balance when standing up. 3. Soles of the Feet These support the correct arch of the foot, distribute impact during walking, and aid in pushing off the ground. ■ Incorporated Programs Training Program A 15-minute program using a 20Hz frequency optimized for efficient muscle training. EMS stimulates the soles of the feet, shins, and calves, training the muscles used when walking. Conditioning Program A rhythmic stimulation combining frequencies from 2 to 50Hz, which automatically switches over time, providing a comfortable sensation to condition the legs. ■ Product Features 1. Train and care for your legs comfortably with two selectable usage methods It can be used in two ways: by placing your feet on it while sitting, or by placing your calves on it. The conditioning program, inspired by active rest, comfortably trains and cares for the calves, known as the "second heart." * The program available for calf use is the conditioning program only. 2. Rocking structure that tilts with leg movement When energized, the heel may lift due to electrical stimulation. The body tilts in accordance with this movement, allowing electrical stimulation to reach the entire sole of the foot for efficient training. 3. Convenient rechargeable It can be charged using the included USB cable. The battery icon on the screen will blink slowly when the internal battery level is low. 4. Simple remote control operation The remote control has also been renewed along with the main unit. With one action per button, operation has been made easier. Even during training, you can easily pause or change the level with the remote control in hand. ■ Product Overview Product Name: Foot Fit 3 Compact Price: 38,500 yen (tax included) Release Date: April 22, 2026 Size: Approx.
