Actually, it may be possible with EMS, or electro muscle stimulation.

EMS involves wearing a suit with built-in electrodes targeting and stimulating specific muscles while you exercise.

But is this for real, or too good to be true?

What Is EMS, Exactly?

EMS stands forelectro (or eclectic) muscle stimulation.

These contractions mimic the body’s natural muscle contractions after brain stimulation to elevate the training’s intensity.

This training method aims to fortify the muscle strength of the targeted muscle groups.

EMS workouts claim to give you the results of a 90-minute workout in just 15 or 20 minutes.

EMS workouts are relatively new, but its a technique thats already been used by physical therapists for years.

They use EMS machines to increase blood flow to an area and help reduce muscle damage to an injury.

Currently, it’s difficult to say to what extent EMS is effective in boosting results.

But theres no harm in trying EMS if you are interested.

It’s crucial that EMS workout sessions are supervised by training certified personal trainers.

Who Should Avoid EMS?

Its important to avoid EMS if you have a pacemaker, a seizure disorder, or active blood clots.

How Much Does an EMS Workout Cost?

How much youll pay for an EMS workout depends on where you live and which studio you choose.

(Buying class packages will save you some money, too.)

Search for EMS studios in your city to inquire about specific pricing.
