■ Background of Mie Nakao's Appointment Mie Nakao is approaching her 80th birthday. While aging, she maintains her beauty and health, even performing acrobatics on stage. She started strength training after turning 70 and challenged herself with a trapeze act in a musical at 73. Currently, she values daily health habits, such as exercising in the park every morning.

At the core of her actions is a commitment to the belief, "I must enjoy life more and more." Ms. Nakao's belief resonates with SIXPAD's vision of a healthy and vibrant "VITAL LIFE" for all people, leading to her appointment as brand partner.

### Mie Nakao's Comment If you're not healthy, it's not fun, is it? You have to stay 'yourself' forever. You shouldn't use age as an excuse.

To live a vibrant life, the muscles in your legs are crucial. But you don't have to train your legs hard; it's important to do it at your own pace, every day, consistently.

Once you've strengthened your legs and gained confidence, please try going out a lot. The world will expand, and that alone will be fun. Please try anything you've hesitated to do before. Life is 100 years long, after all.

■ Development Background The EMS "Foot Fit series," which allows users to train leg muscles while seated using electrical stimulation, has been widely favored since its launch in 2018, with cumulative shipments exceeding 1.3 million units*2. We have received various positive feedback from customers and realize the importance of leg health for a rich and healthy daily life in this era of 100-year lifespans. We have reaffirmed that to achieve this, it is essential to regularly train leg muscles and create an environment where this habit can be continued effortlessly.

If one suddenly starts walking or running without sufficient muscle strength, there is a risk of injury or falls. Therefore, our desire to have more people use "Foot Fit," which allows safe leg muscle training while seated, has grown even stronger.

Previous Foot Fit series models have been highly praised for their ease of use while sitting at home. Within this context, we believed that by making the device more portable and easier to use in various lifestyles, we could prevent interruptions to training habits and enable more people to use it.

With these thoughts, "Foot Fit 3 Compact" is a model that maintains the functionality of existing models while focusing on "thinness, lightness, and portability." It enhances convenience from the traditional model of "easily training legs at home" to "carrying it out and easily training legs anywhere, regardless of location."

With the desire to "deliver the importance of training legs more deeply to more people" and "update it into a form that anyone can continue effortlessly," the Foot Fit series has evolved into a new option: "Compact."

■ Unchanged Functionality, Compact and Easy-to-Use Specifications ### Easier and More Convenient. Light and Thin Compact Design To make it accessible to more people, it has evolved into the thinnest and lightest model in the series, achieving approximately 80%*3 compactness compared to conventional products.

To achieve the 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.

Furthermore, while previous Foot Fit series models used a rocking structure based on the main unit's shape to accommodate foot movement caused by electrical stimulation, to achieve a thinner profile, a new structure with a foldable stand on the back has been adopted.

This model was born from such technological innovations.

### Train Leg Muscles Used for Walking by Simply Sitting and Resting Your Feet Foot Fit 3 Compact targets three areas—soles, shins, and calves—by simply sitting and resting your feet, leading to healthy legs. In addition to a training program for strengthening muscles, it features a conditioning program that directly cares for the calves.

Targeted Areas 1. Calves Often called the "second heart," these muscles are always used in activities involving the legs, such as walking and jumping.

2. Shins Essential muscles for walking and maintaining posture, such as lifting the toes and maintaining balance when standing up.

3. Soles Distribute the burden during walking, maintain balance, support kicking motions, and maintain the correct arch of the foot.

Included Programs Training Program A 15-minute program that uses a 20Hz frequency to efficiently train muscles. EMS targets the soles, shins, and calves, strengthening the muscles used for walking.

Conditioning Program Rhythmic stimulation combining frequencies from 2 to 50Hz automatically switches over time, conditioning the body with a comfortable sensation.

■ Product Features 1. Two Ways to Use for Comfortable Leg Training & Care It can be used in two ways: by resting your feet while seated, or by resting your calves. Especially in the conditioning program, inspired by active rest, it comfortably trains and cares for the calves, often called the "second heart." *The conditioning program is the only program that can be used for the calves.
