Benefits of EMS training compared to conventional work outs
1)Increased muscle formation and definition
MIHA BODYTEC® uses electro stimulation to achieve stronger and more intense muscle contractions than a voluntary exertion can achieve alone. Depending on intensity and individual goals, you can build muscles and achieve better definition while also making them stronger and more responsive. Your muscles simply become more efficient. Researches by Bayreuth University and the German Sports University in Cologne have shown that EMS training is much more effective than conventional weight training!
2)Increased maximum strength and endurance
With EMS training you gain rapid strength in a shorter period of time. In fact 20 minutes per week is all it takes to a healthier, stronger, you! Individual adjustment of intensity, duration and frequency helps achieve personal training goals quickly, effectively and consistently – no matter whether it’s increasing maximum strength or improving endurance and overall fitness levels.
3)EMS is gentle on your joints
There is no strain on your joints as you don’t use any weights during your work-out. The intensity of a MIHA BODYTEC® work-out is regulated through electro stimulation, whereas conventional weight training is carried out by heavy weights or high impact running or jumping which can cause strain and injury if you don’t maintain the correct posture and coordination. EMS training is not dependent on weights or high impact training, so the risks of strain and injury are therefore greatly reduced which makes EMS training the ideal work-out for older people or people with joint problems and injuries.
4)Compensation of muscular imbalances
Many people suffer from a muscular imbalance in their back, stomach or pelvis floor which often results in recurring back pain. With EMS training you can target specific problem areas and help strengthen weaker muscle groups to correct imbalances. Muscle weakness and imbalances are often the result of our increasing lack of movement in our daily lives (e.g. sitting at a desk for long hours).
