With its promise of maximum results in just 20 minutes per week, Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) has become one of the most time-efficient and scientifically advanced ways to improve your body. But one of the most common questions new clients ask is:
“Should I still do other exercises if I’m training at BODY TIME?”
The short answer is: it depends on your goals. EMS training can be used:
- As a standalone training method
- As a complement to other workouts or sports
Here’s everything you need to know to decide what’s best for you.
BODY TIME as a Standalone Workout
For people with busy schedules, limited mobility, or a desire for efficient and results-driven fitness, BODY TIME EMS training can be more than enough on its own.
Each EMS session activates up to 92% of your muscle fibers, reaching both surface and deep stabilizer muscles that most traditional workouts miss. In just 20 minutes, EMS stimulates the same muscle engagement as a 4- to 6-hour gym routine.
With consistent sessions, you’ll:
- Lose weight
- Build lean muscle
- Improve posture
- Boost metabolism
- Reduce cellulite
- Relieve back pain
This makes EMS perfect for:
- Executives and professionals
- Stay-at-home parents
- Beginners to fitness
- People recovering from injury
- Anyone who values time and results
BODY TIME as a Complement to Other Fitness Activities
If you’re already active in other sports—like tennis, running, swimming, CrossFit, or martial arts—BODY TIME is a powerful way to enhance performance and reduce injury risk.
Here’s how EMS complements other forms of training:
🎾 Targeted Muscle Enhancement
If you’re a tennis player, for example, your BODY TIME personal trainer can target your arms, shoulders, and back to enhance swing power and stability. EMS allows you to:
- Strengthen specific muscle groups
- Improve joint support and control
- Correct muscular imbalances
- Boost recovery and reduce soreness
🏃 Accelerated Recovery
Because EMS improves blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, it helps athletes:
- Recover faster after long runs or intense sessions
- Reduce DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness)
- Improve flexibility and reduce tension
💪 Deeper Muscle Activation
EMS reaches muscle fibers untouched by traditional workouts, such as postural muscles, pelvic floor, or spinal stabilizers—providing a solid foundation for any sport or physical routine.
How Often Should You Combine EMS with Other Exercises?
Your BODY TIME trainer will customize your EMS program based on your current training load.
Here’s a general guideline:
- If using EMS alone: 1 session per week (20 minutes) is optimal
- If combining with other training: 1 session per week, or once every 10 days as a booster
- Avoid intense traditional workouts within 48 hours after an EMS session to allow full recovery
Whether your goal is better sports performance, faster recovery, or simply aesthetic improvement, EMS can be safely integrated with your routine under expert guidance.
