EMS Workouts of New Moms

Postnatal EMS Training for New Moms - Can EMS Training Help Reshape My Body After Pregnancy?

Are you a new mother? Congrats! While the excitement of your newborn is wonderful, chances are you’ve experienced a lack of energy, time, fatigue, sleep deprivation, weight gain, and even injury following the delivery. A healthy balance of nutrition and exercise after pregnancy is crucial to reverse the effects of giving birth. You may be wondering: what is the best postpartum workout? Well, postnatal electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is the safest, fastest, and most effective way to get your pre-birth physique back. Let’s dive into the benefits you can expect from postnatal EMS workouts!

Saves You Time

If you’re a working mama, chances are you’ll be back in the office between 10 to 28 weeks after giving birth. Between a busy work and home life, many women struggle to find time or confidence to exercise at the gym during motherhood – a full-time job in and of itself. Time consumption is one of the biggest differences between a postnatal EMS workout and a gym workout. Instead of spending hours at the gym, electro muscle stimulation takes just 40 minutes a week to get the same results. That’s only two 20-minute workouts in total!

Strengthens Your Pelvic Floor

Delivery often results in pelvic floor weakness. Gentle postpartum EMS exercise helps to reinforce those muscles quickly. This is greatly due to the EMS suit which electrically stimulates certain deep muscle tissue connected to the pelvic floor– such as your stomach, legs, and buttocks. This method of postpartum exercises for the tummy contributes to the following:

  • Regain pelvic floor strength while preventing joint strain– supported by this University of Bayreuth study
  • Reduce urinary incontinence problems
  • Decrease waist circumference
  • Prevent abdominal obesity

Helps You Lose Weight Fast

Surprisingly enough, it’s more common for women to gain the most weight following the delivery than before pregnancy. The high-frequency current therapy utilized in a postnatal EMS body workout allows you to shed weight fast in the healthiest and most controlled way possible. The results come 3x faster than a traditional workout at the gym. While maintaining a well-balanced diet, postpartum EMS further helps to stimulate your metabolism and improve posture.

Supports Your Mental Health

While not always easy, it’s vital to have a healthy mind throughout the bonding process with your baby. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), 1 in 7 women can experience postpartum depression after delivery. That’s not to mention increased anxiety, lack of concentration, and mood swings. Relaxing EMS sessions following the 20-minute postnatal exercise help to soothe your mind and ease tension in your muscles. With the EMS training suit effectively transferring blood and oxygen to your muscles twice a week, you’re likely to experience these positive changes:

  • More sleep
  • Better mood
  • Reduced postnatal stress
  • Less prone to postpartum depression and body insecurity
  • Improved vitality, stamina, and physique

Relieves Aches and Pain

As a new mother, you’ve been through enough pain as it is. EMS training after pregnancy is recognized for its role in injury recovery. Bone fractures, lumbar or sciatica pain, osteoporosis, and other birthing or non-birthing-related injuries can be treated with just two 20-minute EMS sessions a week.

Eliminates Cellulite

Many women experience rough skin texture following pregnancy due to the accumulation of cellulite– an adipose tissue causing uneven and lumpy skin surfaces. Professional postpartum EMS exercises help to improve blood circulation in the skin tissue which ultimately reduces cellulite back to normal.

Tones Your Muscles & Shrinks Abdomen

Electro muscle stimulation workouts for new moms quickly add lean muscle by combining traditional physical exercise with electrical currents. Your abdominals, glutes, abductors, and hamstrings end up losing fat and building strength. 98% of your muscles are engaged during a postnatal EMS workout while a typical gym workout engages only 60%.

Frequently Asked Questions About Postnatal EMS Training

While it varies from mother to mother, the National Childbirth Trust recommends waiting 6 weeks after giving birth to start exercising again. To further prevent injury, the intensity of the EMS fitness training system is low-impact and gently ramped up as you go. However, be sure to consult with your doctor before booking your session.

Unless you like slower results and crowded, smelly gyms– then absolutely. An EMS workout after pregnancy gives results 3x faster than a standard gym workout. On top of that, friendly EMS trainers provide encouragement, support, and growth tailored to your unique fitness needs.

Postpartum EMS training allows you to breastfeed in the comfort of your own home. Nonetheless, it’s recommended to breastfeed shortly before starting your EMS workout.

With proper nutrition and two 20-minute EMS body workout sessions a week, then yes!
