MYTHS AND FACTS ABOUT THE EMS (electro muscular stimulation)
As we all know every time something new is discovered lots of people try to contrast and give light to any possible dark it could have. This has also happen with the EMS.
If you continue reading you will get a deeper understanding of this whole new world and discover which of these statements about the EMS are anything but myths.
It is not a proved technique.
The EMS has being used since the early 1950’s, mainly for physiotherapists to help decrease the rehab time. It was in 1973 when it started to be used as a training method for strength enhancement. Nowadays multiple companies produce EMS stations but EMS online is the only company which provides you with anything you could need to use an EMS station and stay safe while you see how much gain you do in only a few weeks.
It is not for me, only lazy people use it
We can say, for sure, that the training time is hugely reduced when we compare a traditional training with the EMS training. Even though we can’t forget that EMS is just an accessory to help us reach our goal. It requires time, effort, aptitude and will to make your goal a reality.
Weight lose since first training
I am sorry to say this is not 100% true. As any other physical activity EMS should be included in a healthy life style, which means you have to be conscious of what you are eating, walk everywhere if you can… you need to be active and keep in mind the recommended amount of calories an adult should take a day. And obviously you need a good trainer to be by your side and help you get where you want.
What we can truthfully say is: if you are constant with your trainings, eat healthy food and a have a good trainer by your side you will lose weight on a faster way.
