Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) has been gaining popularity as a way to build stronger, more toned abs. But what exactly is EMS, and how can it help you get the washboard abs of your dreams? In this blog post, we dive into the world of EMS and explore the effects of electric muscle stimulation on abs and how it can help you get the toned and lean physique you desire.

EMS in a nutshell

First, let’s talk about what EMS is. EMS stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation and it’s a form of muscle training that uses electrical currents to stimulate muscle contractions. It’s been around for decades and is commonly used to help people recover from injuries or strengthen weak muscles. But recently, it has been used to help people achieve the toned abs they’ve always wanted. So how does EMS work? Essentially, EMS uses electricity to stimulate muscles in the abs, causing them to contract. This helps to strengthen and tone the muscles in the area, as well as increase blood flow and circulation. As the muscles contract, they become stronger and more defined, giving you that toned and defined look you’re after.

Why use EMS to build great-looking abs?

There are many benefits to using localized EMS or EMS Sculpt for abs. First, it’s painless and can be done in the comfort of our office while you are laying down.

Scientific evidence

“Effects of high-frequency current therapy on abdominal obesity in young women: a randomized controlled trial” was performed in 2015 and aimed to investigate the effects of high-frequency current therapy on abdominal obesity in young women. The study included 60 young women with abdominal obesity who were randomly assigned to either a treatment group or a control group. The treatment group received high-frequency current therapy for 30 minutes per day, 3 times per week, for 8 weeks. The control group did not receive any treatment.

The results of the study showed that high-frequency current therapy significantly reduced abdominal fat and waist circumference in the treatment group compared to the control group. The treatment group also had significant improvements in body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, and skinfold thickness compared to the control group. The study concluded that high-frequency current therapy is an effective treatment for reducing abdominal obesity in young women.

Takeaway

Overall, EMS can be a great way to get the toned and defined abs you’ve always wanted. It can be done quickly and conveniently and can help you get the results you’re after without putting in the extra effort of doing crunches and sit-ups. Of course, it’s important to remember that EMS is not a replacement for a healthy diet and regular exercise. But when used in combination with a balanced diet and regular exercise, it can be a great way to get the abs you’ve always wanted. So if you’re looking for a way to get the toned and defined abs of your dreams, why not give EMS a try?
