Austin’s New Fitness Trend: EMS Training Takes the Spotlight
Welcome to Austin, Texas, where February has rolled in with a question on everyone’s mind: how are those New Year’s fitness resolutions holding up? If you’re feeling like your treadmill is collecting more dust than sweat, you’re not alone. Luckily, there’s a new kid on the block that promises quick results and might just reignite your enthusiasm for getting fit: Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS).
What is EMS Training?
EMS training is all about high-tech workouts that have recently caught the attention of fitness enthusiasts and Hollywood celebrities alike. Picture yourself wearing a damp, skin-tight suit dotted with electrodes that zap your muscles into action, and you’ve got EMS! This innovative approach is designed to engage various muscle groups using electric impulses, offering a workout like no other.
Less Time, More Gain
One of the most appealing things about EMS is its efficiency. Each session lasts only 20 minutes yet can burn around 500 calories, which is comparable to 2.5 hours of traditional strength training. That’s a serious time-saver for anyone with a busy schedule. The suit consists of eight pairs of electrodes strategically placed to target essential areas like the legs, arms, glutes, chest, abs, full back, upper back, lats, and lower back. It’s like a full-body workout with the boost of technology!
Why is EMS Gaining Popularity?
It seems that EMS is a hit not just among fitness trainers, but also with celebrities aiming to get in shape for their next role. For instance, actors have reportedly used EMS as a component in their training regimes. This kind of buzz adds a sprinkle of glamour to the already appealing concept of working out with a little tech twist.
A Trainer’s Perspective
Local trainer Hannah Laster was initially skeptical about EMS training but found herself pleasantly surprised after her first session. Feeling sore afterward was her first clue that the workout was doing something special. After trying it out, she became a believer in the method’s effectiveness.
Inclusive and Adaptive
What’s particularly noteworthy is that EMS training welcomes everyone, including those with injuries or physical limitations. The methodology can even accommodate people in leg casts! It originated from Europe, where it was primarily used as a physical therapy tool, but has since made its way to the fitness scene, providing options for individuals eager to partake in physical activity despite limitations.
Getting Started with EMS
With all the excitement swirling around, many might wonder how to jump into EMS training. Companies like Body By EMS offer a concierge service, sending certified trainers straight to clients’ locations. It’s as convenient as it is groundbreaking! Each session costs about $200, but group workouts with friends or family can cut down the cost. So, if you and your pals are looking to sweat together and have some fun while you’re at it, maybe this is your next big plan!
Wrapping it Up
If you’re a busy Austinite grappling with your fitness resolutions or simply looking for something new to try, EMS training could be your perfect match. With its blend of efficiency, celebrity appeal, and inclusivity, it’s attracting interest from all corners. So why not give it a shot? You might just find yourself saying goodbye to those fitness blues and hello to a vibrant, energized you!
