Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a new way to work out and get trained muscles without spending hours in the gym. Many establishments with this type of training are appearing worldwide and are becoming very popular, especially as it will need less time and sessions to get visible results.
In theory, just one or two 20-minute sessions a week is all it takes to change the body. It works by sending low-frequency electric impulses to contract the muscles while working out.
Promoted by many celebrities, the idea is that it is possible to mimic what the nervous system does by stimulating atrophied muscles using electric currents. The studios that work with this technology say that it is possible to activate up to eight muscle groups at a time, instead of one, unlike traditional workout sessions.
Furthermore, an EMS machine is said to give the same results as several hours spent sweating in the gym. A traditional studio will start the sessions by putting the clients in a wetsuit-like vest, and straps that go around the biceps, thighs and glutes are sprayed with water to make them conducive to the electricity plugged into the station. After that, some basic squats, lunges and bicep curls are done as the professional accompanying the client manually increases or decreases the intensity of the electrical pulses that contract the muscles rhythmically. In an introductory 20-minute session, the clients’ muscles are expected to feel ached and as though they’d been working.
In conclusion, EMS is a great alternative for people who are looking for a quick and modern way to work out. It is important to find a studio that will lead to the sessions in a safe atmosphere, with professional help and according to the determined parameters.
