What is EMS Training?
EMS (electric muscle stimulation or electric myostimulation) is a highly effective form of training. It utilizes low and mid frequency electric currents to significantly increase the body’s natural muscle contractions. As a result more muscle fibres are activated when compared to conventional training methods.
EMS-Training is a whole body workout that promotes weight loss, increases physical strength, stimulates muscle growth, and relieves tensions and muscular imbalances. As a form of personal training the workout can be adapted to numerous individual training goals. For example, EMS personal training has been shown to significantly reduce back pain. In some cases, EMS clients have even reported a total alleviation of their (chronic) back problems all together. Due to the increase in both muscle tone and blood flow to neighbouring tissue, EMS may also have a beneficial impact on cellulite problems.

Is ems tarining suitable for everyone?
Frequently asked questions when we speak with those deciding about whether to start EMS training at Vive are related to age – Am I too old or young for EMS training? Isn’t it specifically for people that need help with pain, or doesn’t it only work when you’re fit and healthy already?
These misconceptions make it seem like EMS is only applicable to certain niches e.g. unfit individuals, those with chronic pain, or alternatively, for athletic performance etc. In fact, EMS is applicable for all age groups, regardless of your fitness level prior to joining us for a session and here’s why.

How Does EMS-Training Work?
Electric muscle stimulation training utilizes the body’s nervous system and activates muscle tissue through electric currents. These low or mid frequency impulses are completely harmless when applied properly. The goal is to bring the muscle to a state of total contraction. The key difference to conventional training methods is that the electric stimulation allows for more muscle fibres to be activated during training. In short, more of the muscle is put to work. The intensity of this effect can be controlled through regulation of the electric current itself and the performed exercises.
Whole body EMS-Training recruits all of the body’s large muscle groups and activates even deeper lying muscle tissues that are typically difficult to reach with traditional training methods, especially for beginners. EMS is highly effective. Studies have shown that it is almost 20 times more intense than conventional strength training methods such as high intensity weight training.
How often can I do EMS-Training?
According to current expert opinions and the latest safety standards, you should not have more than one session during the first eight to ten weeks of training. After this adaptation period we recommend to keep at least four days in between EMS sessions. This will give you proper time to regenerate and further adapt to the impulses and protect you from over training.
When determining EMS recurrence, you should definitely pay attention to your current fitness level and overall well-being. It is also wise to make it very clear to yourself and your trainer whether you want EMS-Training to be your baseline workout or a complement to your regular fitness routine.
Keep in my mind that - as with any other sport - proper regeneration and avoiding a state of over training is key! Like any other conventional training method EMS falls under the super compensation principle.
Don’t panic about the less athletic or older (because EMS is for everyone). There is no need to learn new complex exercises, simple static muscle strengthening exercises such as squats, lunges, and planks will suffice. As strength increases and equipment is added, stimulation will intensify. Practicing simple exercises allows for better control, intensity and focus during training.
