What is EMS training? Everything you need to know

London's new fitness trend

Working out is all about moving smarter rather than working harder.

So, imagine if I told you that you could get the benefits of a 90-minute session squeezed into just 20 minutes?

EMS training makes this possible, which you might have already seen on Instagram. The new fitness trend that has spread widely around west London and now south-west London.

But it’s a new game-changer that a lot of people still don’t know about. So, we’re going to tell you everything you need to know about EMS training, which promises to be the future of fitness. Are you ready?

What is EMS fitness?

EMS is an acronym for electrical muscle stimulation. It uses a machine to send electrical pulses to your muscles to stimulate them more effectively.

EMS works to intensify contractions in your muscles and this effect makes the bodywork a lot harder than it ever could on its own, which helps you achieve an athletes workout without the lengthy process.

“You spend a lot less time exercise with EMS than you do in the gym whilst achieving the same results” - Francis Payne, Richmond

It basically means that your exercise routine will be more challenging, not as long and will burn more calories.

Does EMS really work?

EMS has been used in competitive sports and physiotherapy for years. But it’s only just landed in Richmond in south-west London.

At EMS Fisico you’ll be strapped into a weighted suit that’s connected to the EMS machine. The impulses, which are generated by the device is then delivered through electrodes above the muscles helping them to contract.

EMS is really effective because the results are very similar to real, actual movement, which is just a more intense workout.

EMS promotes a high level of metabolic activity during, and for many hours after a training session. The higher your metabolism, the better your body will burn fat and build lean muscle mass.

For women, EMS training has been proven to reduce the size of common problem areas, such as around the waist, hips and thighs. At the same time, it will firm up your chest and arms.
