If you’re already into fitness and have discovered Electric Muscle Stimulation, you’re likely asking:
“Can I continue my normal fitness routine while doing EMS training?”
The answer is a confident yes. In fact, combining EMS with your regular workouts—whether it’s cardio, yoga, strength training, or sports—is one of the smartest ways to maximize your results, speed up recovery, and avoid injury.
At BODY TIME, our EMS personal trainers are here to guide you through how EMS fits into your existing fitness lifestyle. Here’s everything you need to know about combining EMS with your current workout plan.
1. EMS Complements, Not Replaces, Your Routine
EMS isn’t designed to replace movement—it’s designed to supercharge it. It’s a 20-minute session that works your entire body by sending impulses directly to the muscles, mimicking your brain’s own signals but with greater intensity.
While a single EMS session per week can replace several hours of traditional training, it can also be used in tandemwith:
- Cardio workouts (running, cycling, swimming)
- Yoga or Pilates
- Weightlifting or strength circuits
- Sports and martial arts training
EMS training becomes the secret weapon in your arsenal—boosting strength, activating underused muscles, and accelerating progress.
2. EMS Enhances Muscle Activation and Recovery
One of the core benefits of EMS is its ability to stimulate deep muscle fibers that are difficult to reach through conventional workouts. These include postural muscles, pelvic stabilizers, and fast-twitch fibers.
Incorporating EMS into your week means:
- More efficient muscle activation
- Faster recovery post-workout
- Better muscle tone and definition
- Less soreness from overtraining
Our certified BODY TIME personal trainers will guide you in adapting your sessions to work around your training split—whether you train 2 or 6 days a week.
3. EMS Won’t Interfere with Cardio Training
If you’re a runner, cyclist, or HIIT lover—great news: EMS won’t get in your way.
In fact, because EMS promotes:
- Increased circulation
- Improved muscle oxygenation
- Enhanced endurance and power output
…it may actually improve your performance in cardiovascular sports. You’ll feel more stable, coordinated, and energetic, especially in endurance-based workouts.
EMS sessions at BODY TIME are joint-friendly, and because there’s no external load, you’re less likely to injure yourself compared to high-impact routines.
4. You Only Need One EMS Session Per Week
One of the reasons people love BODY TIME EMS training is that it fits seamlessly into a busy schedule. With just one 20-minute session per week, you’ll:
- Activate all major muscle groups
- Burn calories and boost metabolism
- Improve posture and core stability
- Stimulate muscle recovery
So if you’re wondering whether you can do your regular workouts AND add EMS—you can, and you won’t feel overwhelmed. In fact, EMS helps you do less and achieve more.
5. Our Trainers Help You Customize Everything
Every BODY TIME client works 1-on-1 with a certified EMS personal trainer who helps:
- Plan your week of training based on your goals
- Integrate EMS with your gym, running, or sports routine
- Adjust impulse intensity for recovery or hypertrophy
- Monitor your results and progression
Our EMS trainers understand how to balance training volume so you don’t overtrain. Instead, we build a system around your lifestyle—whether that means doing yoga, lifting, or just walking more.
6. EMS Reduces Injury Risk and Promotes Longevity
If your normal workout routine includes high-impact or repetitive movements, EMS can be a welcome relief for your joints.
EMS places zero external weight on your knees, spine, or shoulders, while still delivering a deep muscle workout. This means:
- Less joint wear and tear
- More stable movement patterns
- Better form in the gym or on the field
- Lower risk of long-term injuries
It’s no surprise that athletes and physical therapists use EMS for injury prevention and rehab. And now, you can too—with the help of BODY TIME’s expert staff.
