Building 6-Packs With Electrical Muscle Stimulators issue #6

Exercise is a motion of  repeated cycles of movements, contracting and relaxing muscles, whether it's your arms lifting weights, your legs carrying you along on a run or your "abs" doing crunches. As your muscles work, your body burns calories to keep them going, and that's why exercise helps you lose weight. 

this has led to a  misconception  regarding Electric  muscle  stimulation, forming a base of claims surrounding it, some experts claim that as it mimicks natural muscle movement, it will produce the same results of a exercise workout. These ideas have led to a booming market of devices that promise 6-pack abs in little time with little or no effort.

Research, shows when you are receiving E.M.S. treatment, the energy to move your muscles isn't coming from your body; it's coming from the EMS device. Your muscle cells may be getting a nice little workout, which may help their tone, but the truth is you aren't burning the calories you would as when doing a physical workout.

  Sadly, in today’s busy world many are misled and buy into these ideas and jump on board the latest weight loss, muscle building fads, because they are looking for the easiest and fastest method by which to get the look they want.  

  The Federal trade Commission or (FTC), has issued important about E.M.S. Many manufacturers claim they are safe for anyone to use

 and will produce a toned midsection without any exercise or special diet needed. 

  Electrical muscle stimulators were originally approved for use in physical therapy settings by medical professionals.  That is why these devices being used in a home setting by untrained people caused the FTC to look into them. 

During review the FTC declared that electrical muscle stimulators provide a temporary change in the muscle, but could not find that they will help a person to lose weight or build a 6-pack.  Additionally, they found that if the product is not used properly it can pose health risks.  They received reports from users who had experienced burns, bruising, irritation and pain after using the device.  They also found they may interfere with pacemakers.  In devices that use cables and leads, it was found they did not meet safety standards and could pose additional risks. 

However, the benefits for E.M.S should not be overlooked, Many doctors and physical therapists regularly use EMS to treat people who have suffered a loss of muscle function, such as from a stroke, spinal cord injury or other nerve damage, or who are unable to exercise certain muscles because of injury or surgery. Because EMS simulates natural muscle activity--muscles contract when the impulses are applied and relax when they aren't--it can help maintain tone and strength in muscles that would otherwise "atrophy," or waste away from lack of use. Another common use of EMS is to relieve muscle spasms.

Electrical muscle stimulators do not provide a means by which to achieve 6-pack abs.  They can be dangerous and harmful if they are not properly manufactured and used.  A much better solution for building 6-packs is to eat properly and exercise.
