How Does EMS Work?
Normally when you perform an exercise, your brain sends a message through your spinal cord to nerves indicating muscles to contract. EMS uses electrical impulses to stimulate the nerve axons. These impulses reach the nerve axons, signaling the muscles to contract and relax rhythmically as instructed by the EMS unit. EMS actually stimulates muscles that you can not normally exercise voluntarily. This allows you to train muscles that may normally have little activity. Will EMS Improve My Physical Appearance?
EMS is widely used by bodybuilders and other athletes as a supplement to strength training. Olympic athletes have been utilizing EMS to enhance their training for over twenty years. EMS is used to increase muscle tone and endurance.

For best results, many bodybuilders use EMS in conjunction with working out. A rhythmic pumping of the muscles, produced by the EMS unit, helps deliver nutrients and oxygen to the muscles. Concurrently, waste products such as lactic acid are pumped out of the muscles. This increased blood flow to the muscles cuts down on recovery time and promotes healthy muscle activity. Bodybuilders also frequently use EMS for the relaxation of muscle spasms. EMS provides an increase in range of motion, which reduces the chance of injury. Men and Women are increasingly using EMS to enhance their appearance by toning their abdominal and chest muscles.

What is the difference between our EMS device and the ones displayed on T.V. EMS was traditionally used by physical therapists and physicians to aid in the recovery of muscle related injuries. Just Recently, the fitness industry has captured the muscle stimulation/growth attribute of the EMS, and has attached outrageous marketing claims such as "six pack abs in six weeks". EMS will help achieve muscle toning results; however you must supplement your therapy with a normal workout.

The "As seen on T.V." EMS devices (i.e. Abtronic, Ab Energizer, Ab Buster, Ab Belt, Ab Toner etc…) lack the output parameters and controls that the EMS 1000plus has. More so, the mere design of these "As seen on T.V." stimulation belts inhibit the versatility of their function. For example, an Ab belt can not be used to treat a sore knee or shoulder. Most of all, the electrodes that are used on these devices are of very poor quality, and the warranties are almost non-existent. How Can I Get an EMS Unit?
