Frustrated from not being able to maximize your hourglass physique because you're short on time?
The E.M.S. Hourglass System:
Maximize Your Body's Fitness Potential!
Muscles are made of extremely fine fibres which can be classified as slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscle fibres.
Fast-twitch muscle is relatively easy to build with consistent training, and it characteristically leads to a toned body. However, to activate these muscles one would need to train at a load heavy enough to become out of breath, and therefore requires high intensity training.
Elecrical Muscle Stimulation allows an approach, which targets fast-twitch muscle even under a slight load, and therefore complements your targeted workout sessions by increasing efficiency.
Triple threat EMS Hourglass Workout Cycle;
Before your workout; warm up your targeted areas by activating those muscles,
During a workout, maximize your fitness session workouts in half the time with constant stimulation and muscle contractions to review up your session
After your workout; give your activated muscles a stimulated release to relax your muscles post your EMS workout cycle
WHAT is EMS?
When you move your muscles, or contract them through exercise, the brain sends an electric current to the motor nerves.
The same electric current is then sent from the motor nerves to the muscles which then has them contract
The EMS Hourglass System is a system that mimics these same electrical currents to manually contract your targeted muscles through your skin surface.
Scientifically proven, this modality is mainly referred to 'skeletal muscle electrical stimulation,' otherwise known as Electrical Muscle Stimulation.
Normal physical activity uses approximately 30% of a muscles fibres leaving 70% dormant. EMS can effectively target and stimulate these dormant fibres to more than double the efficiency and maximize your workout results with less time.
How does it work?
How does it feel?
The sensation is pleasant and apparent. You will feel a mild pulsing sensation, followed by some tightening of the abdominal muscles. The muscles should contract smoothly and gently relax again. You control how powerful and fast the sensations are with the intensity controller. There are 6 modes. As you get stronger, you will be able to increase the intensity levels.
How often should I use it?
Meant to be a compliment to your everyday fitness sessions, 20min during your sessions per day, is advised. Use during inactivity, this system will help with circulation, and increase muscle stimulation as well.
Any Studies?
Conducted by Dr. John Porcari, PHD - Professor of Exercise and Sports Medicine and the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse, 2008.
Results compiled from a satisfaction questionnaire found:
Waist circumference decreased by 3.5 cm
58% increase in abdominal strength
100% increase in abdominal endurance
54% felt that their posture had improved
100% of the EMS group felt that their midsections were more toned and firmed
100% of participants felt that their abs felt more toned and firm
92.3% of participants felt the firmness of their abdominal muscles increased.
Findings?
In a study published in the January 2008 issue of "Sports Medicine," Dr. Thierry Paillard found that EMS is most effective when used as a complimentary technique along with dynamic exercise.
So i can just not workout and solely do EMS?
Electrical muscle stimulation devices will not have the same effect on your body as actually exercising. EMS is meant to be a compliment and boost to your workout regimen. EMS can temporarily strengthen, tone, or firm muscles if you use it during a 20 minute book reading, but it will not cause long-term improvements if not coupled with a healthy diet and workout regimen. Hear it from us personally ... Jane-Gear is not about the hype .. but the science behind how we can effectively maximize our efforts towards our hot bodies.
EMS is not going to replace a workout altogether. But, EMS will cut your workout efforts by 50% or more, if used correctly.
