Despite following a strict exercise and diet regimen, many men and women don’t achieve the workout results they want. Hiring a personal trainer can help, but some muscles don’t respond well to weightlifting, and some people have a hard time shedding fat in certain areas. This can be especially true of the abdominal region.
Weak abdominal muscles can be an issue, too. When these muscles are weak, it is that much more difficult to perform crucial stabilization exercises, which makes most workouts trickier. So helping the abdominals can help across the board.
By using high intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to build muscle and radiofrequency to burn fat, EMSCULPT NEO can help to build a more chiseled look. EMSCULPT technology can also strengthen weak muscles, allowing for pain-free targeted exercises. Providers at Injxcellence can recommend a plan that complements your workout routine and delivers the flat belly, toned thighs, and shapely rear you’ve been striving for.
How to Incorporate EMSCULPT with Training Routines
Most people don’t realize that, even after hours at the gym, most voluntary exercises (like squats, lunges, and crunches) engage muscles at only 30% to 50% of their potential. Without full contractions, it’s difficult to build muscle in the abs and glutes. It’s also difficult to burn the last remaining layer of fat in those areas.
By placing the EMSCULPT paddles directly on a troubled area for just 30 minutes, we are able to induce 20,000 muscle contractions at 100% engagement. This increases muscle mass and banishes local fat stores, creating more sculpted abs, glutes, or thighs. Results are visible after one 30-minute treatment. After several sessions, patients experience a 25% increase in muscle mass and up to a 30% reduction in fat.
Larger muscles obtained during an EMSCULPT session can make workouts more effective. For instance, stronger abs create a stronger core, improving the ability to do back exercises. Stronger glutes help to stabilize the hips and trunk, which is important for plyometric moves, as well as kicking, running, and many everyday tasks.
In short, EMSCULPT is not meant to replace your workout—it’s meant to boost workout results.
EMSCULPT’s Muscle-Building Benefits for Women
Not only does a defined body look beautiful on women; building lean muscle can substantially improve a woman’s overall health. Muscle speeds up metabolism, which means the body continues to burn fat well after a workout. Muscle-strengthening also reduces the risk of developing long-term health conditions like high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.
For some women, incorporating regular weightlifting exercises, along with a protein-rich diet, are enough to get the healthy body they desire. But when muscles remain weak despite their best efforts, a few EMSCULPT NEO sessions can make a tremendous difference. Here are the areas where EMSCULPT for women can be beneficial:
Abdomen. Crunches and planks aren’t enough to give many women a flat stomach. Particularly after pregnancy, abs become weak. Sometimes the extreme stretching of the abdominal muscles can cause them to separate, resulting in a condition called diastasis recti. This can cause a bulge that lasts months and even years postpartum. EMSCULPT elicits muscle contractions strong enough to fix this condition—and strengthens the muscles so women can continue to perform abdominal exercises effectively.
Buttocks and thighs. It’s no secret that women want a round, firm butt to show off in jeans and swimsuits. When squats and lunges aren’t delivering desired workout results, EMSCULPT can help to build gluteal muscles and even get rid of unsightly saddlebags caused by excess thigh fat. Attaining stronger glutes also helps to stabilize the core and align the pelvis with hips, shoulders, neck, and back. This is extremely beneficial for preventing spinal discomfort, especially because so many women carry children on their hips.
Arms. Bat wings—or the fat and skin that hangs from the arms—often result after weight loss. When tricep dips and pushups are not effective at eliminating this condition, EMSCULPT is a non-surgical technique to strengthen triceps and eliminate that excess fat.
Does EMSCULPT Improve Workout Results for Men?
New Jersey is home to quite a few breweries and bakeries, but many men cut out bread and beer in hopes of seeing more muscle definition. If you’re making such sacrifices and still holding on to the last 10 or so pounds of fat, here’s how EMSCULPT NEO can help.
Eliminating love handles. A well-defined stomach can’t always be achieved with low-carb foods and an ab wheel. A thin layer of fat often remains on the upper abdominal muscles, and excess fat in the lower abs tends to wrap around the waist, creating “love handles.” One 30-minute session of EMSCULPT delivers the equivalent of 20,000 crunches, while also melting away fat around the entire mid-section.
Larger calf muscles. Strong calf muscles stabilize the knees and ankles to prevent injuries during athletic activities. But even with a regular weightlifting routine, men’s calf muscles tend to stay small. This is largely because their calves are made of slow-twitch muscle fibers and thus are more resistant to hypertrophy than fast-twitch fibers. While it would require hours and hours of calf raises to increase the volume in those muscles, non-invasive EMSCULPT can increase their mass substantially in just two weeks.
More powerful glutes. As the largest muscle in the body, the gluteus maximus is essential for everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, and even getting up out of a chair. In the gym, strong glutes support the lower back during deadlifts and squats, and provide a stable base for overhead presses. These muscles are also very important for explosive exercises like box jumps and sprints. If injuries are happening in the weightroom or on the track, personal trainers blame weak glutes—and often recommend EMSCULPT as a solution.
