Myths and FACTS about Muscle Stimulators and there
Application.
As you know, most of us do not have the time
to spend our lives in the Gym or eat special diets. We are just
looking for a way to tighten the waist line, trim down the thighs,
love handles or get some definition in our arms or legs to look
and feel better. We all want realistic results and not implied
results through pictures, the EMS Model 4000 may be the answer
for you.
Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a technologically
advanced science that uses very mild electrical current to
exercise your muscles and give you tone, definition, and a
figure you can easily maintain and sculpt in the comfort of
your home environment.
WHAT IS EMS?
Electronic Muscle Stimulator (EMS) is a revolutionary muscle
exercise concept for use in your own home. Our EMS systems are
portable, light weight electronic units that have been scientifically
designed and proven to exercise body muscles fast, efficiently
& effectively through a series of stimulated contraction &
relaxation phases. For years Soviet and Eastern block Olympic
contenders have used muscle stimulators to build the same rippling
muscles that steroids promised.
Now the practice has finally reached the West. EMS is recommended
for anyone participating in bodybuilding, power lifting, martial
arts, boxing, or anyone simply wishing to achieve their optimal
athletic physique. EMS is used extensively throughout the world.
The Medical Advisory Committee has allowed the use of EMS systems
by athletes since the 1972 Olympics. Bodybuilders, professional
athletes, physiotherapist, sports doctors, US/Canadian Track and
Field athletes use EMS systems to supplement their routines. Many
doctors use EMS units to aid in the rehabilitation of muscles
following injury.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The EMS unit has two outlets known as channels. Each channel
has two wire connections with two pads attached at the end of
each wire. The EMS unit delivers a gentle electronic impulse to
your muscles via the soft self adhesive pads that comes with your
system. By placing the pair of pads on a particular muscle, your
muscles responds to the impulses that are generated by contracting
and relaxing rhythmically as instructed by you through the unit.
When a muscle contracts as a result of a unique EMS/TENS signal,
the chemical changes taking place within the muscles are similar
to those associated with voluntary contraction in "normal exercising".
These chemical reactions which results from muscle contractions
utilizes glycogen, fat and other nutrients stored in the muscle.
These resulting series of muscle contractions will enable an individual
to build, tone, and strengthen, and to combat flabbiness and improve
contour. Just strap it on while you're resting, reading, net surfing
or watching T.V. and watch your body transform right before your
eyes.
FACTS
1. Why should I buy an EMS Device?
There are two reasons:
A. For relief from minor pain (joint pains, muscle aches, etc) and
stress
B. To strengthen muscles, improve overall appearance, and enhance
your physical training
2. How does EMS work?
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation)
uses electrical current to stimulate the muscles. This electrical
current is similar to the electrical impulses produced by the brain
to move muscle tissue. EMS devices are designed
for passive exercise and pain relief. There are ways to use an EMS
devices in a way as to make it an active exercise. We only recommend
this approach to someone who is very familar with the units.
3. What is Russian Stim?
Russian Stim is 2500Hertz at
50 pulses per second. This means that 50 times a second a 2500Hertz
pulse stream is sent to your muscle. The benefit of this is deeper
penetration of the muscle and more intense contraction.
4. I still don't understand what is so great
about EMS training?
It's not for everybody but
here it why you should consider EMS training:
A. If you don't have time for the gym or workout, it can tighten
and tone muscles to give you a slimmer appearance. EMS training
is similar to doing isometric exercises but maintaining a 95% intensity
throughout the workout. Perfect example: Hold your right arm down
with your left hand. Now pull against that hand for ten seconds.
Feel the burn and tightness in your arm. Try that for 5 minutes
and your start to get tired. Now EMS devices do that but without
reducing the intensity.
B. You work out and come home with tired and sore muscles. EMS devices
can reduce and relievev muscle aches and soreness.
C: You want to increase your muscle mass but don't want to take
steroids. EMS training helps your by warming up muscle group andg.
It has been known that after the use of EMS devices that individuals
achieve personal best.
5. When will I notice a difference?
It will take about 3 - 4 weeks
to see any real, noticeable improvement. The improvement could be
a slimmer waistline or a tighter muscle on the muscle group you're
working.
6. I understand that the unit may be used for
pain management; how does this work?
By setting the PHASE button
to MONO and doing a very light stimulation of the area for about
15 minutes, you feel minor relief. The model x000 is activating
your body's own natural pain reliever and concentrating it in the
area that hurts. TENS Units
are used primarily for pain relief.
7. Can I use a muscle stimulator on my face
and neck?
We never recommend the use
of muscle stimulators on the face or neck. We do recommend a facial
stimulator instead to reduce wrinkles and tighten facial muscles
8. What is RECIPROCATION?
Reciprocation is when one channel
is on and the other channel is off, then they alternate with the
other channel turning on. It used for SUPERSETTING muscle groups.
An example is stimulating biceps and triceps. Instead of switching
pads around, you can put pads on the biceps and triceps. Turn on
the Reciprocation mode and stimulate biceps in cycle and then in
the next cycle stimulate triceps.
MYTHS
1. 45 minutes of EMS is like 4 hours in the
gym!
We would love to say "YES"
but the truth is "NO". There is no evidence that using EMS is
equal to 4 hours in the gym. Studies have shown that EMS is effective
for toning and strengthening muscles, and as a training aid with
resistance training. We can help you workout a program that is
very effective in developing your strength or toning your body.
2. ONE hour of EMS is equal to 300 to 400
sit-ups!
Unfortunately, research does
not support those claims. EMS is effective in sliming the abdominal
area but not in the same way as doing sit-ups. EMS use combined
with regular abdominal exercise can enhance the effectiveness
of both means of exercise.
3. EMS training will burn fat and calories
away!
Contrary to what some competitors
claim, EMS does not burn fat or burn a lot of calories in a workout.
It does work and tone the muscle which gives a slimmer appearance
.
4. With EMS anyone can develop 22 inch arms
and massive legs muscles!
This is a myth perpetuated by some
people in the industry. You cannot develop 22 inch biceps with
EMS devices alone. Through a combination of EMS and resistive
training, you can develop your muscle groups a lot further than
by resistive training alone. You have to remember that many factors
includinh your own body's genetics will determine how massive
you will get through training.
While the EMS device by itself
will not develop massive arms, it can tighten and tone your existing
muscle mass.
