EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) training is a type of training that uses a wearable device that attaches to the body and stimulates muscles through tiny electrodes that accelerate your workout and enhance your body-toning results. It is an active, full-body workout that uses a wireless device to stimulate muscle fibers while you exercise, making muscle tissue work harder. EMS training is a good way to improve your overall fitness, tone your body, and strengthen your muscles in less time than regular exercise.
EMS devices send tiny electrical pulses to the muscles to target all four muscle groups for an effective workout. Regular exercise only stimulates your fast-twitch muscles, meaning you’re never getting as much from your workouts as you’d like. EMS devices allow you to achieve accelerated results even under a light load, as they work both your slow and fast-twitch muscles. EMS training activates deeper muscle groups and helps to correct muscular imbalances in the body.
EMS training is a safer alternative to regular weight training, as there’s no impact on your ligaments or joints. EMS is highly effective, and studies have shown that it is almost 20 times more intense than conventional strength training methods such as high-intensity weight training. You only need to use the device for 20-30 minutes a day, 5 times a week to see visible results.
During an EMS session, you wear a custom-designed EMS suit while being guided by a certified EMS trainer. The trainer will lead you through a series of low-impact exercises and adjust the intensity based on your fitness level and goals. EMS training is personal training, and your trainer plays a crucial role in achieving your workout goals. Your personal trainer always has an eye on the intensity of the electric current.
EMS training is a good tool for weight management, as it helps increase muscle mass and boost metabolism, contributing to a healthier body. EMS training has been shown to significantly reduce back pain, and in some cases, EMS clients have even reported a total alleviation of their (chronic) back problems altogether. EMS training is carried out by trained professionals, and before starting any new exercise program, you should speak with your doctor.
