EMS Training: Your Ultimate Guide to an Effective Workout

Originally, EMS was mainly used by physiotherapists to treat various muscle injuries such as muscle fiber tears or strains. The procedure is also used after operations to rebuild weakened muscles more quickly.

However, EMS training has now made it out of its purely therapeutic application and into the world's fitness centers, and is now widely used by amateur and professional athletes to help build muscle - and for good reason.

Shorter Training, Faster Results: These are the Advantages of EMS Workouts

EMS brings with it a range of benefits that are unique to this method. No wonder, then, that the popularity for the modern training has increased rapidly in recent years. The concrete advantages are as follows:

• EMS delivers fast results without you having to struggle in the gym. You save a massive amount of time compared to conventional training, as the individual EMS workouts are much shorter.
• The training is extremely flexible, because you decide when and where you train. For example, you are independent of the opening hours of the fitness center in your area and can train comfortably at home.
• Heavy or costly exercise bikes become obsolete.
• You train with a method whose positive effects are scientifically confirmed.

Scientifically proven: EMS training can do more

In fact, various scientific studies confirm the effectiveness of the contemporary training method.

As early as 2012, a study indicated that increased use in professional sports is to be expected due to the versatile benefits of EMS¹. In the same year, another study supported the fact that EMS is ideal for people looking for a time-saving alternative to conventional training.².

Recent studies also confirm the effectiveness of the EMS method. An increase in strength and muscle mass comparable to conventional training was reported in a 2016 study, that analyzed two training groups over 16 weeks. One of them underwent conventional high-intensity training, the other trained with EMS.³.

In terms of safety, EMS is also convincing, as this study from 2018 impressively supports. According to this, whole-body EMS significantly improves muscle mass and function while reducing fat mass and back pain with a high safety standard. This also makes EMS an ideal solution for all users who cannot perform conventional training for various reasons⁴.

Main popular body regions for EMS training sessions

Basically, EMS is a whole-body workout. Nevertheless, there are certain zones that particularly benefit from the electrical stimulation of the muscles. These include in particular:

• Upper back
• Lower back
• Abdomen
• Buttocks
• Arms
• Legs
• Chest

Through a regular use of the myostyle EMS suit you train these body regions effectively and saves time at the same time.

Your back training gets even better with EMS

A strong back is important for many activities in everyday life. In addition, targeted muscle building helps to alleviate back pain⁵. The back muscles in particular can be ideally trained with EMS, as this technique specifically targets the muscles that are important for effective back training.

Train not harder, but more effectively: EMS for muscle building

Muscle building is absolutely recommended not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also from a health point of view. Many people associate muscle building with the idea of having to lift dumbbells for hours. Wrong, because first, even short but intense workouts often help. And second, EMS is very well suited for muscle building.

Abdomen, Legs, Buttocks: Three areas with only one training session

Abdomen, Legs, Buttocks: You may know this term from a popular course at the fitness center. In fact, these are three body regions that particularly benefit from targeted training sessions. Some people even talk about so-called "problem zones".

With EMS, you can effectively train all three areas together in just one workout. Learn more in our article "EMS for Abdomen, Legs and Buttocks".

These muscle groups also benefit from EMS training

There are a range of other muscle groups that benefit from regular EMS training. These include in particular:

• Upper Arms (Biceps & Triceps)
• Forearms
• Calves
• Thighs
• Neck
• Shoulder

EMS means modern total body training - effective, time-saving and scientifically based.

EMS training is also available at your home: This will make your workout even more flexible.

Probably more people would exercise if they knew better how flexible and time-saving training can be. This is even more true for EMS, because here you turn your own home into your personal fitness room.

Tips for your successful training: How to get started with EMS

If you can't wait to get started with EMS training, here are a few tips for you:

• Schedule fixed times for the EMS workout. This creates structure and you integrate the workout optimally into your weekly schedule.
• Allow your muscles sufficient time to regenerate after electrical stimulation. Therefore, two consecutive days of EMS training are less useful.

What should you definitely look for when buying an EMS suit?

When buying an EMS suit, you should always look for top quality. The motto "the main thing is cheap" is not appropriate here. The suit should definitely come from a certified manufacturer and be made of high-quality materials. Of course, all this applies to our suits, but one feature in particular distinguishes us from the competitors: Instead of the low frequency, we rely on the medium frequency, which ensures that your workout is much more pleasant, painless and efficient.

Find out more details in the article "Why is our suit better than the competitors?" and why it is best to choose an EMS suit from our company.

Quick results, long-term success: This is how it works for you too

Quick results and long-term success: These are the two goals of almost everyone who starts exercising. The decisive factor for any type of training, including EMS, is consistency. Only then will you really reach your training goals. The advantage of EMS: The whole thing succeeds with significantly less time than conventional training.

Do not forget: How to measure your body correctly

Muscle building in general catches the eye relatively quickly, but accurate information about the training progress provides you with an intensive measurement of the body. To ensure that the result is precise, there are a few things to keep in mind. Especially important is the right place where you measure.

• For the waist, for example, this is the narrowest point, just above the navel
• The hip, on the other hand, are measured at the widest part

With EMS training you increase your calorie consumption to a new level

The fact that EMS stimulates muscle growth through electrical impulses may already be known to many people. However, fewer people know that EMS training can also increase calorie consumption.

For more detailed information on how EMS training can make your fat deposits shrink, read the article "Calorie consumption through EMS training".

EMS training: Less side effects and lower risk of injury

Some people are frightened by the idea that the body is supplied with electrical impulses. However, we can give a straight answer to this question. EMS training is a safe and well-studied method, which was originally even used primarily in the medical field.

In addition, there is less risk of injury compared to conventional training.
