Building muscle can mean different things to different people. It could mean increasing strength in specific areas, building a high volume of muscle mass over the whole body, or simply achieving a lean, toned physique. Whatever your personal goals for muscle growth, there is an important question to be asked here — what’s the most effective way of building muscle?
EMS workouts are growing in popularity across Australia and the world, helping individuals to achieve a range of fitness goals. But what about muscle growth? Can EMS build muscle?
The answer is a resounding “yes”!
BUILDING MUSCLE WITH EMS
EMS stands for electronic muscle stimulation. In other words, electronic pulses are directed to your muscles, increasing the efficacy of the workout. With this in mind, it makes sense that this technology would be great for building muscle, but how does it work exactly?
STIMULATE MUSCLE FAR MORE EFFECTIVELY
The electronic pulses of EMS make your muscles work far more effectively. This means you can experience real benefits from muscle building and strength training — benefits that would be much harder to realise with standard gym training, even under high intensity.
In this sense, EMS is not only effective in building muscle. It is far more effective than an ordinary gym workout.
EASY TARGETING OF SPECIFIC MUSCLE GROUPS
Part of the beauty of EMS technology is that the electronic pulses can be directed precisely where you need them. If you are hoping to target muscle growth in your back or biceps, EMS can be used to support stimulation and muscle growth in these areas. If instead, you want to build strength in the calves and thighs, concentrating the electronic pulses in these parts of your body can make this happen.
In short, electronic muscle stimulation puts you in control. You can discuss what you want to achieve with your trainer, and together you can build the EMS program that best suits you.
TARGET THE ENTIRE BODY, EVEN AT REST
When you work out in the gym in Geelong, or even when you use your personal trainer, you won’t be hitting all of your muscle groups. While you isolate and target key areas of muscle, other areas are at rest. Unless you have the time, expertise and patience to hit all of these groups, some are going to get left behind.
This is not the case with an EMS workout. Our Geelong personal trainers help you to target all areas of your muscle mass so that nothing gets left behind as you build strength and tone your muscles.
OPTIMISE YOUR WORKOUT TIME
Even if you love working out and spending time in the gym — and plenty of people do — your spare time is still limited. Most of us simply don’t have the time to spend two or three hours in the gym each day. And even if we did have the time, we probably wouldn’t have the energy left over after work and other activities to achieve the intensity required to hit our targets.
With EMS training at our Geelong studio, the workout is optimised. In only 20 minutes of EMS technology-assisted training, you can see the same benefits you would in more than 90 minutes of standard gym training. Building muscle not only becomes easier to achieve, but also easier to fit around your schedule.
