Here, your body is constantly active, not only during the current phase..<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current pulses are embedded in the normal workout. When you are rowing, bodyweighting, kickboxing or even when you are working out using barbells. You can adapt the different exercises, depending on your level of fitness.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small hint: you can find additional detailled information on my<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/coco-collmann.de\/?s=ems\" target=\"_blank\">Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h5>YOUR EXPERT<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inspiredbysports.com\/en\/experts\/coco-collmann\/\" target=\"_blank\">Coco Collmann<\/a><\/p>\n<h5>STATEMENT<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perfect training for beginner if you want to get back on track or support your muscle growth. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">IMPORTANT<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like with any other exercise, it is important to be aware of correct breathing and techniques. During every session you will have a guide that gives you brief instructions and makes sure you don\u2019t overstrain your body. Anyhow, don\u2019t forget to listen to your body and take signals serious.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">EXPERT EXPERIENCE<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Progress can be noticed very quickly, particularly in the area of the core muscles. Especially for people suffering from back problems, EMS is a great training that can provide you with a kind of rehab. On top of that, it systematically helps to stimulate muscle growth in specific areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">CHALLENGE<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep it up and don\u2019t give up ! The current pulses challenge your body extremely, but they aren\u2019t painful at all. The good thing: the intensity is individually adjustable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>More Fitness Stories<\/h5>\n<h3>You might also like<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inspiredbysports.com\/en\/action-sports\/\">Germany s fastest 14-year-old Emilia in an exclusive interview with InspiredBySports<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inspiredbysports.com\/en\/action-sports\/\">Trend sport plogging combining sport with environmental protection<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inspiredbysports.com\/en\/action-sports\/\">These beach workouts will keep you in shape on vacation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>More from our magazines<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inspiredbybeatz.com\/adele-in-muenchen-begeisterung-trotz-begleitender-misstoene\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adele in M\u00fcnchen Begeisterung trotz begleitender Misst\u00f6ne<\/a> <small>(InspiredByBeatz)<\/small><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are two different forms of EMS training one has to distinguish between: statical &#038; dynamical.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":26769,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image-id":0,"_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image-id":0,"ibs_difficulty":"","_evm_slot_owner":"","_wp_old_slug":["this-place-you-have-to-travel-2015-spotlight","s-bend-in-5-steps-2","ems-effektiv-ist-dieser-trend"],"footnotes":""},"categories":[483],"tags":[521],"class_list":["post-26768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fitness-yoga-en","tag-ems"],"wpml_language":"en","wpml_translation_of":null,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>EMS: See if muscle stimulation really works for you<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"... und spannend ist das dynamische EMS.
