How is Training with an EMS Technology Suit?

November 23, 2022

When we think of working out in the city, we might not think of wearing an EMS technology suit. Instead, we might think of going to the gym, going to the pool, or doing something outside. When we think of a personal trainer, we tend to picture him at the gym, at home, or on a date in the park. But there are now options that might not have seemed likely a few years ago.

Recently, I was on my way to work when I saw an interesting window display at a gym. It was a study that said you could train for only 20 minutes with EMS (ElectroMioStimulation) technology and get the same results as a longer bodywork session in less time, as long as you worked out with a personal trainer. The idea seemed good, but the suit was such a puzzle!

I have tested the benefits of passive exercise through electrostimulation in the past. I did it both on the abdomen and on the arms and legs, and I always got good results: an increase in lean mass and a proportional decrease in fat mass, and this was after only 4-5 sessions. When I tried to get back into shape after being inactive for a while, my muscles would react in a different way right away. Most of the time I did it, it was to get in shape after the winter and get back into sports.

How does the EMS Tech Suit Work?

With the EMS technology suit, things are turned on, and the muscles no longer work in groups, but instead all at once. When I went from being interested and wanting to learn to actually do it, I found that the most interesting thing was how these two things worked together. Finally, I crossed the study’s threshold and gave myself a test run with a colleague so that we could both measure the results if we saw any.

Technology has changed, and we are now at a big turning point in how this method is used. The EMS Tech Suit has been updated so that it no longer needs to be wired to a reference machine and the electrodes no longer need to be wet before use.

So how is training with the help of EMS technology different from just using electrostimulation to do passive exercise? A good new experience. Especially in things you usually don’t think much of or don’t expect.

The first thing you notice has to do with how much time has passed. By switching between simple exercises and ones that work for several muscle groups at once, it is possible to train the whole body in a shorter amount of time. Normally, each muscle group needs 3–4 sets. With the EMS technology suit, you may also work parts of your body that you usually skip because they are tired and you think the results aren’t as clear. Yes, I’m talking about the legs, which have been “pampered” here from the start and continue to be so. The second pleasant surprise comes from the lower back.

She has a different, less curvy posture after training in an EMS tech suit. Before and after working out, that area has always been my weak spot, as if I dumped all my stress and tiredness there despite everything. When I worked out with an EMS technology suit for the first time, my back felt lighter and stronger. A good mood that lasted for two days.

The third surprise is a very nice one: at first, it feels like you haven’t been tired at all. When I worked out in an EMS tech suit, it felt like when I used pedal assist to do more with less effort. In fact, I didn’t even feel it. The credit also goes to the work of the personal trainer, who watches each move with the eyes and experience of someone who has also been trained in this particular training method.
