Trending: Bodytec’s Amped-up Workout
A cool 20-minute workout that’s as effective as three 90-minute sweaty seshs in the gym – if you think it sounds too good to be true, it’s not when the workout happens at Bodytec Studios. Here’s our scoop on this new high-tech training system; perfect for you time-poor peeps that want to get in shape!
Unlike your run-of-the-mill gyms, there are neither weights nor treadmills at Bodytec’s airy and minimalist studios. Instead, you’ll see dedicated machines that deliver electrical impulse currents to specific muscle groups (and problem areas like arms, back, butt, and thighs) in your body through specially designed workout attire.
Known as Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS), we know this tech-y fitness routine, created by crazy brilliant Germans, sounds pretty daunting when you realize what it entails. Trust us, we’ve gone through this and came out unscathed; the painless buzzing is more likely to induce tears of laughter than pain.
One thing we love is that isolated sections of your body can be trained more or less powerfully (it’s just about amping up or dialing down the intensity of the electric pulses) even though your entire muscular system is wired up and stimulated at the same time. Coupled with a 1-to-1 or 1-to-2 (grab a pal to workout with) training ratio, this means that training at Bodytec is very much customized. Side bonus? It’s been proven to be effective for back pain management too.
Of course, you don’t have to take our word for it when we say it’s effective, but we know that Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt (aka the fastest man in the world) and Bayern Munich, probably one of the most successful football clubs ever, are using the Bodytec training method. If that’s not enough, studies show that within 6 weeks of EMS training, the percentage of body fat is reduced by up to 4%.
The benefits of Bodytec’s all-round training system are almost endless: toning targeted muscles without bulking up (ladies, are you listening to this?), losing weight, visible body-contouring effects, and more. Plus, you don’t need any additional sports gear since everything is provided, towels, shower facilities, toiletries, and even disposable underwear for use during the workout. So, as Bodytec’s mantra goes, just “come as you are”!
