We all want to live healthier, happier lives. We all want to optimise our exercise sessions, getting more from our workouts as we achieve fitness and well-being like never before. Unfortunately, other things tend to get in the way, and we find there’s just not enough time in the day to work out the way we want to. EMS provides the answer here. With EMS, exercise becomes more efficient, recovery grows faster, and results are enhanced safely and effectively. But what is EMSexactly? Read on to discover more.
WHAT IS EMS TECHNOLOGY?
EMS stands for electrical muscle stimulation, and it is exactly what it sounds like. This is workout equipment that delivers electrical pulses directly to your muscles, stimulating them as you exercise or while you rest. The aim is to make exercise more efficient, helping you to optimise the time you spend working out while also accelerating recovery to keep you feeling at your best. When you work out without EMS, you tend to only use a few muscle groups. You may end up working these muscle groups hard and achieving significant development, but other groups will still remain dormant. With EMS, you can target more muscle groups, getting so much more from your workout. This is just one of the benefits of EMS training.
WHAT’S THE STATUS OF EMS?
EMS is perfectly legal in Australia and is commonly used by a range of different professionals as they target excellence in terms of health, fitness and well-being. Sports science experts, athletic coaches, personal trainers, and sports participants themselves use EMS training on a regular basis, recognising its potential in boosting the potential of a workout. Increased understanding of the concept behind the technology has led to widespread adoption in Australia. More and more people are waking up to the benefits of safe, reliable EMS training.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EMS TRAINING?
So what are these benefits exactly? Let’s take a look at a few of the key advantages EMS offers.
●OPTIMISE YOUR WORKOUT TIME
Your time is precious. While you may love to work out, and you may feel that this time is rewarding and worthwhile, you are still up against limits and constraints. This is why you need to optimise your workout to provide results efficiently and effectively. EMS training gives you this option. The electrical pulses stimulate the muscles and make sure they are active during the session. As a result, it is estimated that a 20-minute EMS workout can provide the same results as a 90-minute session of high intensity in the gym – optimising your workout time without compromise gets a whole lot easier with EMS.
●INCREASE GAINS, SAFELY
When you work out with regular fitness equipment, you are engaging around 60% of your muscle groups. This is great and will lead to significant gains, but it is far from perfect – around 40% of your muscles are lying dormant. With EMS training, the percentage of active muscle groups rises to 98%, delivering a far more effective workout with no compromise on safety. You’ll remain comfortable and safe during your workout, especially when the training is overseen by one of our professionals.
●NOT JUST FOR STRENGTH TRAINING
So far, we’ve focused on the benefits of EMS equipment in strength training, building muscle and helping you hit your ‘gains’ goals. EMS training can help you with other aspects of fitness and well-being too. For instance, an EMS cardio workout can burn calories at a far higher rate than a standard workout, helping you to maintain a healthy weight more easily. EMS skin firming, meanwhile, can help to roll back the years on your skin, leading to a younger-looking, healthier, happier you.
●SUITABLE FOR A RANGE OF AGES AND BACKGROUNDS
It doesn’t matter what your background is – you can benefit from using EMS technology in your workout. Whether you are a high-level athlete looking to improve your strength and conditioning, a regular gym-goer seeking to get more from your sessions, or someone with little experience in health and fitness, EMS training helps Australians to achieve their goals. It also doesn’t matter how old you are – EMS technology is suitable for young adults right up to those who have been retired for quite some time. With expert supervision from a professional trainer, EMS technology is safe and effective.
