EMS training: figure tightening without effort
As a fitness for lazy I had the electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) dismissed, the training, in which one is put into a kind of wet neoprene suit and get over electrodes and cables during the strength exercises power surges. But lately, more and more colleagues and acquaintances are telling me that they have achieved great success in the training: namely effective tightening and muscle building in a minimum of time.
What's up with EMS?
I date with Carsten Pachnicke, managing director of the Hamburg Studio 25 Minutes. The electrical impulses, Pachnicke explains to me, stimulate the muscles to contract and become stronger. 80 percent of the muscle fibers can be achieved with EMS, in conventional strength training, there are only 50 percent. The training is extremely short (with only 25 minutes change), and for people with back problems or knee problems often the only way to really challenge their muscles. Incidentally, 50 percent of his customers are women, who are also concerned with figure tightening. "Effort without effort," summarizes Pachnicke.
EMS Training: Why try it?
The method originally came from rehab, where patients regain their muscles after surgery or injury. The training is relatively expensive (10-card 299 euros, 2-year membership from 69.90 euros). However, the trial training is already available for 25 euros. At the fitness fair FIBO in 2015 EMS devices of the generation 3.0 were presented. You have a monitor that demonstrates the exercises in real time. The electronic program also allows for more personalized training plans because exercises are grouped according to the training goal and fitness state.
