    Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatuses, methods, and systems for simulating low and/or high intensity exercise. More particularly, the present invention relates to an exercise mimetic device for simulating low and/or high intensity exercise using low intensity electrical stimulation to generate low intensity muscle contractions such as a wearable garment that preferably imitates exercise by eliciting low grade muscle contractions in several of the larger skeletal muscle groups in the body. The apparatus of various embodiments of the present invention is a neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES) device/garment with a control unit that is wirelessly connected to and controls a stimulator unit that generates and transmits a low intensity electrical stimulation within certain unique parameters.
