what is ems?

EMS and how it works

EMS training (electronic muscle stimulation) works by sending low-frequency electric impulses to contract your muscles using a revolutionary device manaufactured by Xbody.

Electric Muscle Stimulation

Electric impulses are generated by EMS devices and delivered through cables to the electrodes on the skin surface above the muscles to be stimulated. These impulses mimic the action potential that comes from the central nervous system and evokes visible muscle contractions. The resulting muscle contraction is similar to the usual movement and the regular con- tractions of the muscles. Depending on the parameters of the electrical impulses (impulse frequency, impulse width, ramp-up, impulse duration, duration of rest, total session duration), different types of muscle work can be imposed on the stimulated muscles. The various types of muscle work that XBody devices can apply are capable of improving and facilitating muscle performance.

trusted by the best

EMS training has been around since the 1960s but was then only meant for professional athletes. The machines allowed them to undergo short training sessions that complement their busy schedules. EMS was especially useful for injured athletes that want to maintain their physical fitness level while recuperating or exercise injured areas on their body without risking further damage. In more recent years it has established itself as a popular alternative to conventional strength training. It is used by celebrities around the world, including Madonna, Alessandra Ambrosio, and recently Tom Holland.

utterly effective

An EMS workout keeps your body engaged for up to 72 hours after your session and targets around 400 muscles simultaneously. With a price range comparable to a monthly gym membership, it means that even one session a week is enough to get your money’s worth.

The Benefits of EMS

Your personal trainer and EMS machine can help you achieve the following:

Decrease body fat %

Calories are burnt in significant amounts when most of the body is involved in physical exercise. It optimally requires several muscles, the heart and the respiratory system all engaged at once. Muscle developing and cardiovascular training can in turn increase metabolism and lead to a greater number of burnt calories, so energy consumption is increased. Muscle development is extremely important, the more muscle someone has, the more effective fat burning will be, even while at rest.

Helps you get back into shape after childbirth

Zero Xcuses can help mothers to get back into shape after childbirth. Muscle developing and cardiovascular training can increase metabolism which in turn leads to a greater number of burnt calories, so energy consumption increases. Furthermore, time efficiency of EMS training is extremely important. The 20 minutes workout session is equivalent to 60-90 minutes of conventional training.

Cellulite treatment

Calories are burnt in significant amounts when most of the body is involved in physical exercise. It optimally requires several muscles, the heart and the respiratory system all engaged at once. Muscle developing and cardiovascular training can in turn increase metabolism and lead to a greater number of burnt calories, so energy consumption is increased. Muscle development is extremely important, the more muscle someone has, the more effective fat burning will be, even while at rest.

Joint-friendly training

ZeroXcuses provides training regardless of age. Through the combination of EMS with low impact exercises, stress on the joints can be reduced to a minimal level compared to other sports (including regular training with weights), thus it is an extremely effective way to avoid injuries.

Helps in skin problems

EMS technology can boost blood circulation on the skin surface which aids in the reshaping of the body and smoothens subcutaneous tissues. It can assist in increasing blood supply of the tissues adjacent to the muscles. Muscle contraction is one of the most effective methods which can be used in the fight against cellulite and similar skin problems. Low-frequency stimulation can increase local blood circulation which results in an increased metabolic rate and an increase in lymphatic circulation. It is also through the removal of these harmful metabolites, that in turn assists in the fight against several skin problems, such as cellulite. Furthermore, strengthening exercises in and of themselves are known to assist in decreasing the incidence of skin problems.

Boosting metabolism

Boosted metabolism can be reached in three ways with XBody EMS training. Low-frequency stimulation can increase local blood circulation which results in an in- creased metabolic rate and increased lymphatic circu- lation. Using medium frequency stimulation a higher caloric burn can be achieved. Strength or muscle devel- opment training (using higher frequency stimulation) is extremely important as well: the more muscle someone has, the higher the resting metabolic rate becomes and therefore the more effective the fat burning will be.
