Can 20 Minutes Change Your Body? Before & After Results Using an EMS suit
By Henri Schmidt, CEO & Founder of VBTec/Visionbody, Muscle expert.
If you want to get that summer body, but you are too busy to go to the gym, then training with an EMS suit might be the best solution for you.
In this article, I’ll explain what works, when you can see the difference between your before and after pics, and how to get the results you’re looking for.
What is EMS training?
Simply put, EMS means electrical muscle stimulation - a type of whole-body training designed to activate 90% (or more) of your muscles at the exact same time by sending a mix of low and middle electrical impulses, which makes the muscles contract.
What type of exercises can you do wearing an EMS suit?
I will mention a few of the countless workouts you can do while wearing an EMS suit. You can do jogging, but if running isn’t your thing, you can go for a walk instead. You may go out and play tennis with your friends, perform easy joint-friendly exercises in your living room, or engage in mat pilates or body-weight exercises. You can do yoga, or if you are into more intense workouts, you can do boxing.
Don’t go swimming, tho, electricity and water don’t make a good match.
Before & After: What do you really get
I imagine you have a lot of questions, like: „ Will EMS training help me lose fat? Does EMS training really work? Will I build muscle or change shape?”
The answer is: YES, for all. But, in my opinion, EMS training works best when combined with a healthy lifestyle. This means that you should remember to eat a nutritious, balanced diet, drink enough water, and get enough sleep.
In other words, EMS is a helpful tool, and you should not use it as a replacement for all the healthy activities you should engage in.
What research finds:
What does that mean for you?
-
You can get your dream waistline and get rid of that stubborn fat because the EMS suit activates almost all your muscle mass, so your energy use goes up.
-
You get to lose weight faster because muscle burns calories even at rest.
Calories & Efficiency: How many do you burn?
If you got this far, you’re probably wondering, „How many calories can I burn during an EMS training session”?
I won't bore you with other lab study examples. The feedback we get from fitness studios and related businesses from all over the world that have integrated EMS training with Visionbody into their services says that a 20-minute EMS training session burns between 300-500 calories, depending on the user's body, workout intensity, type of workout, and suit settings.
Why does building muscle help you lose fat?
Because muscle is much more metabolically active than fat, so, it requires you to spend a lot more energy ( calories ) to maintain it.
By doing your training with an EMS suit, you activate even the muscle fibers you rarely use, thus you build lean muscle mass faster than you would with traditional training alone. That translates to faster and easier to maintain weight loss results.
After the session: The training keeps working
This is how training with an EMS suit works. After a quick 20-25-minute training session, you will feel the same burn and strain that you would normally feel after a 90-minute gym workout, but it doesn't go away once you’re done.
Because EMS enables you to use almost all of your muscles in a short period of time, your body is forced to repair and adapt, and as you gain more lean muscle mass over time, your resting metabolic rate will also rise.
To put it another way, the EMS suit helps you make long-lasting changes rather than simply temporary ones.
Real “Before and After” example
One of our recent clients, a woman who has been trying to lose weight for quite some time, was looking for training options that could help her lose weight. And she found us.
She told me that she had tried multiple weight loss methods, such as taking Ozempic or having fat freezing procedures done, and even though she would lose some pounds, she would regain them after the treatments or aesthetic procedures. She felt as that her efforts were in vain because her weight kept fluctuating, a fact that would frustrate just about anyone.
When she first came in, she started training with an XL-size EMS suit. After 6 months of consistently training, she dropped to an M size, and here we are, 1 year after she started training with us, rocking an S size suit.
And the best thing? She got her smile back; this is what matters most.
Why is Visionbody the best choice if you want to lose weight with EMS?
Because you deserve the best option that exists on the market right now!
Here is what sets Visionbody apart from all the other EMS systems that exist:
-
Visionbody is the first full-body wireless EMS system. Others have tried to copy our technology, but they are not quite there yet.
-
Our system has 12 channels, 24 integrated dry electrodes that target with precision all important parts of the body ( shoulders, inner thighs, calves, core, glutes ).
-
Visionbody doesn't need wetting, which means that you don’t have to worry about bad smells or moldy suits.
-
Because I created the suit with full mobility in mind, you can train anywhere. Yoga in the park? Got it, Jogging? Yup. All without getting weird looks from other people.
-
A dedicated app to help you personalize your training, and also choose the intensity that you are comfortable with for each muscle group, because we don’t believe in one size fits all. Some people have more body fat and need to ramp up the intensity, while others need lower intensity levels.
-
Our system is both FDA-approved and TÜV-certified. We take pride in German quality technology and in-house manufacturing.
Quick FAQ
Does EMS alone guarantee weight loss?
No. Although EMS helps you lose weight, if you want to see results, you still have to eat healthy or be on a calorie deficit if you have a lot of fat you need to get rid of. Keeping a regular sleep and recovery schedule also matters, as well as doing consistent exercise. Don't expect to just wear the suit and do nothing; it still requires some effort.
Is EMS safe?
Yes, training with a certified EMS suit is safe, but if you have underlying health issues like epilepsy, cardiovascular problems, or if you have a pacemaker, etc, please consult your health care provider first, as in some cases, EMS training isn’t recommended.
When will I see visible “before & after” changes?
You can see results after six to twelve weeks of regular training. You will feel more energized and toned earlier, but major weight loss drops come over time.
Does it work if I’m older?
Absolutely. I actually highly recommend it for older people. As we add more years under our belt, we start losing muscle mass. EMS helps us fix that by providing an easy way to rebuild muscle and keep it.
Final word
To sum it all up, you can totally get the results you are after by training with an EMS suit, just remember to mix the EMS training with physical activity and a healthy diet. And most importantly, make sure you use the best EMS system that you can find.
So, if you want to burn calories, say goodbye to that stubborn fat, or tone your body, then buy your own EMS suit right now and step on your path to transformation.
