Abdominal electrostimulation

How electrostimulators work on your abs

Abdominal belts use electrical muscle stimulation, also called EMS, to cause the muscle to contract. The electrodes placed in the belt come into direct contact with your bare skin, sending electrical impulses to work the targeted muscle area without any effort required on your part.

You simply place the belt on your abs and increase the electrical intensity gradually until you reach the maximum power that you are most comfortable targeting your muscles with.

When users first hear about abdominal belts, they often confuse this technology with the TENS unit (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) in physiotherapy. But, although abdominal stimulators may look very similar to a TENS unit often used to treat back pain, they have different uses.

EMS means in English " Electrical Muscle Stimulator "This technology relies on stimulating the muscles by contracting them while the TENS unit stimulates the nerves. THE TENS units are generally used to treat chronic and acute pain. EMS is mainly used to tone the abs or the rest of your body faster but also for muscle recovery and to help prevent muscle atrophy in bedridden patients.

THE electrostimulation devices also improve our overall health and physical condition by recruiting nerve conduction rates. In other words, the EMS abdominal trainer takes about 10,000 repetitions for our brain to learn how to quickly send a message to our muscles via the fastest nerve pathways. This contraction pattern becomes our “memory engram.” The more frequently our muscle is recruited, the better our body is at finding the fastest way to recruit that muscle.

THE abdominal electrostimulation belts will provide you with repeated contractions to speed up this learning process.

In short, electrical muscle stimulation or electrostimulation on your abs will send electrical impulses to the muscles to promote muscle contractions. Specifically, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) causes both type 1 (slow twitch) and type 2 (fast twitch) muscle fibers to contract, and at different Hz levels that can provide a number of health benefits such as performance and recovery and toning with minimal effort.

Is abdominal electrostimulation effective? ?

Yes. Abdominal belts, more commonly called electrostimulation of the abs work. Elec-Tonic is above all transparency and honesty towards its customers, we do not promise you to get defined abs quickly and lose 3 waist sizes in 1 week just by pressing a button... sorry to disappoint you but this is not part of our values, we leave these false claims to some of our unscrupulous competitors...

The results obtained will depend on several criteria, including the frequency of use, the chosen contraction intensity, as well as your dietary hygiene. Just like a sport, nothing can happen overnight, and we are talking here about the abdominal strap, one of the most difficult areas to develop. Electrostimulators will be a valuable help to achieve your goals more quickly provided you use them regularly each week while having a healthy and balanced diet and, if possible, practicing regular physical activity.

Now we might ask ourselves: "What's the point of an abdominal electrostimulation belt if I still have to exercise and eat healthy?!"

We answer this question that an abdominal electrostimulator will reduce the amount of exercise required and greatly accelerate the process of strengthening muscles. This way you will get the desired results by minimizing your efforts.

Moreover, what could take months will happen in just 2-3 weeks, which is quite amazing in itself. You can very well use muscle stimulation without regular physical activity but the results will be less significant.

In a research In a 2005 study, twenty-four adults were asked to use an abdominal belt 5 days a week for 20 to 40 minutes per session without doing any additional exercise. These participants were compared to another group that also did no ab exercise for the same given duration.

After having done the experience, the twenty-four adults who constantly used the abdominal belt had a 58% increase in abdominal strength and a 100% increase in abdominal endurance. While the other group compared experienced little or no increase. The experimental group also felt that their abs were more "toned" and "firmed" after using the ab toning belts. Additionally, they also decreased their waist size by 3.5 cm.

Of the two layers of muscles we have, the rectus abdominis muscle (the external oblique/Sixpack) and the transverse abdominis muscle (the internal oblique), EMS Abdominal Toning Belts work on the inner layer of the core. These EMS abdominal training belts send impulses to the transverse abdominis, thus waking it from its dormant state and strengthening the core muscles.

Now, if we ask how effective EMS machine is in weight and fat loss, we must keep in mind that abdominal stimulators are not aimed at weight loss. It would only burn the amount of fat needed to effectively build muscle.

In fact, the electrical muscle stimulator will be of no use if you have obesity as a problem.If you still have a lot of body fat, you need to get rid of it to get optimal results. Let's be honest, you can't expect anything to happen if you wrap the belt around your waist and eat pizza for every meal.

You will need to start by losing your body fat by planning a healthy diet and if possible, doing physical exercises using your abdominal belt to maximize the results.

Conclusion

To summarize the paragraph above, abdominal electrostimulation helps to "build" your muscles by strengthening the muscles down to its deep core. Does it burn fat? Yes, but only enough to make your muscles appear.

However, to achieve optimal results, your daily routine of using electrical stimulation on your abs must be accompanied by a good eating habit and a rigorous training plan.

Choose your electrostimulator and start building your abs!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

How long can I use the Abdominal Stimulator?

The optimal duration of use should be 20 to 40 minutes for each training session. Also, to avoid overworking your muscles, you should limit your workout to just one per day.

First of all, it is important to start from get used to the sensations provided by muscle stimulation. As a beginner, you can start with 20 minutes and gradually increase the intensity; for an advanced level, work up to 40 minutes. It is not recommended to stimulate the same muscle group for more than 70 minutes per day.

Is electrostimulation useful after childbirth? ?

The practice of electrostimulation on the abdominal strap after pregnancy is very common and useful to help you tone your belly in record time. Young mothers, very busy with their baby, do not have a lot of time to practice a sport and want to tone their belly after giving birth.

In this context, muscle stimulation is the best alternative to start toning your abs quickly with little effort.

If you have had a cesarean section, ask your doctor for advice before performing stimulation on this area.

Electrostimulation on the abs : dangerous ?

The biggest question about using electrical stimulation is whether it is safe or not. Electrostimulation products are safe, tight tissues and internal mechanisms prevent the risk of electrocution and EMS technology is also not painful. Can I train every day? Yes, provided it is used within the prescribed duration. Simply put, if you plan to use the device every day, don't use it for more than 20 to 30 minutes. Don't overload your muscles!

Electrostimulation really works ?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions, which is understandable because it is a topic to opinions divergent. Some claim that electrostimulation is a scam, but those who claim this have no proof of their claims. One thing that is certain is that muscle stimulation will have very little effect if you practice one or two 20-minute sessions per month.

Regularity and intensity of sessions for those practicing this technological advancement must be taken into account. If you are still skeptical of the results brought by EMS, remember that this technology has been scientifically proven for years before being available to the general public.

Like a sport, the practice of electrostimulation on your abdominals or any other part of your body must be regular.Remember that to effectively tone your abs, ordering one of our belts is a first step to achieve your goals, but the key element lies in using it regularly, increasing the intensity level at your own pace.
