EMS vs. conventional training: what makes EMS training simply better

Training with Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a modern and effective training method that allows you to achieve your fitness goals easier and faster than with traditional workouts: just 2 x 20 min per week is enough to achieve visible results.

The most important advantage of EMS training is that you can build up muscles effectively and in a way that is easy on your joints. In addition, you burn more calories than with conventional training and also tighten your connective tissue. Your back will also thank you for training with the myostyle Smart Suit!

Why EMS is so popular: Your advantages at a glance

The highly effective muscle training with EMS systems is not only popular with competitive athletes: More and more fitness fans are discovering the training method for themselves and even sworn-in couch potatoes appreciate the optimal effort-benefit ratio of this training method.

In this list we have once again summarized all the advantages of EMS training for you:

• activates your muscles - EMS intensifies your workout without straining your joints
• brings quick results - after only 8 training sessions (2 x 20min per week) you will see first results
• strengthens your back - EMS training not only relieves back pain, but can also prevent it.
• shapes the figure - EMS training burns extra calories and also tightens your connective tissue
• ensure relaxation after the workout - discover the special massage programs from myostyle

You can rely on it: The advantages of EMS training have been proven in numerous sports science studies.

The advantages of EMS in detail

With modern EMS systems you can intensify your workout through electrical training impulses: These penetrate the tissue and generate repeated muscle contractions.

This way, you can build up more muscles with comparatively short workouts and quickly achieve visible results. At the same time, you train more gently on your joints and with higher calorie consumption than with conventional workouts.

A fact that only a few people know: EMS training tightens the connective tissue - the beauty effect that is particularly appreciated by women!

This is what you were looking for: short training times with a high impact

With EMS training you can reach your fitness goals easier and faster:

• In a conventional workout, your muscles are activated by the exercises alone, e.g. 3 x 15 squats.
• With EMS workouts, your muscles are activated by the exercises PLUS the contractions triggered by electrical impulses.

Therefore, even a few short training sessions - we recommend 2 x 20 min per week - are as effective as several hours of conventional fitness training.

High Intensity Muscle Contraction: Perfect for Your Muscle Buildup

The effectiveness of EMS training is based on rhythmically repeated electrical impulses - e.g. 4 seconds training stimulus, 4 seconds rest: Your body works permanently against it and thus ensures a high-intensity muscle contraction.

In addition, EMS training allows you to reach deeper muscle groups that are difficult to target with conventional exercises.

• Your special advantage with myostyle: The innovative medium frequency technology penetrates deeper into the tissue and causes stronger contractions than conventional low frequency systems.

To summarize: EMS training is an optimal method for muscle building. A study by the Sport University Cologne has shown that muscle growth of 14% can be achieved within six months.

Achieving quick results due to the high training effectiveness

Effective training with the EMS system means not only a quickly measurable muscle gain, but also quickly visible results: Already after 4 weeks you will see the first results!

With conventional training it usually takes longer until you see comparable results - of course always depending on your training plan and individual eating habits and lifestyle.

High intensity with less strain on your joints

A major advantage of EMS training is that the increased training intensity does not mean any additional strain on the joints. This can be well illustrated by the example of squats.

Traditional squats mainly train the legs and buttocks, but also the straight abdominal muscles and the back extensor in the area of the lumbar vertebrae. To increase the intensity of the workout you can:

• increase the number of sets and repetitions
• lifting additional weight, e.g. with a barbell on your shoulders
• Doing split squats on one leg only

All three options mean extra stress on the knees - but if you do the squats in the EMS suit, you can specifically increase the muscle load without putting extra strain on the joints!

Furthermore, EMS training also means less cardiac stress: Thus, especially people with heart failure, which are easily exhausted during conventional training, can benefit from this method - this was the result of a study conducted by the Heart and Diabetes Center Nordrhein-Westfalen.

You burn more calories compared to other workouts

If you want to lose a few extra pounds while exercising or maintain your desired weight despite the occasional snack, EMS is just right for you.

The electrical training impulses generate additional muscle contractions and thus you also have a measurable higher energy consumption than with conventional training. You can read about it here: "Calorie consumption through EMS".

A real multitasker: EMS can do much more than just build muscle

EMS training not only helps you burn calories and build muscle faster than with conventional training, but also offers other advantages:

EMS training can reduce back pain and thus complement or even completely replace classic back training. Here you can find out what is important and what proven successes can be achieved: "EMS for the back"

EMS training can also help skin tightening. The electrical training impulses stimulate blood circulation and thus cell metabolism. In addition, they also stimulate collagen production so that the connective tissue is tightened.
