EMS Fitness: The Secret Workout for Perimenopausal Women
As women approach perimenopause, they often experience a shift in their bodies, including changes in metabolism, muscle mass, and bone density. These changes can make it challenging to maintain a healthy weight and stay active. Please meet EMS fitness!
We touched upon this topic in this previous blog in case you missed it. It links to a very interesting podcast interview with Dr. Stacy Sims, a prominent figure in female-specific training.
EMS, or Electrical Muscle Stimulation, is a non-invasive technique that uses electrical currents to stimulate and contract your muscles. This type of workout is gaining traction among perimenopausal women due to its remarkable benefits for this specific population.
Key Benefits of EMS Fitness for Perimenopausal Women:
- Efficient and Effective: One of the biggest advantages of EMS fitness is its efficiency. In just 20 minutes of EMS training, you can achieve the equivalent results of a traditional workout that can take two hours or longer. This makes it ideal for busy women who have limited time for exercise.
- Targeted Muscle Activation: EMS technology allows for precise targeting of specific muscle groups. This means you can focus on areas that are prone to weakness or muscle loss during perimenopause, such as the core, legs, and arms.
- Increased Bone Density: As women age, bone density can decrease, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. Studies have shown that EMS training can help stimulate bone growth and improve bone mineral density, making it a valuable tool for maintaining bone health.
- Improved Metabolism: A slower metabolism is a common complaint among perimenopausal women. EMS workouts can help boost your metabolism by increasing muscle mass and improving overall body composition. This can make it easier to maintain a healthy weight and burn calories.
- Reduced Risk of Injury: Unlike traditional workouts that can put stress on joints and muscles, EMS training is a low-impact exercise. This makes it a safer option for women who may have joint pain or other health concerns.
How Does EMS Fitness Work?
During an EMS workout, you wear a special suit equipped with electrodes. These electrodes deliver electrical impulses to your muscles, causing them to contract and relax. A trained professional will adjust the intensity of the electrical currents to suit your individual fitness level and goals.
