XBody – Fitness Training of the 21st Century
When it comes to working out, how many times have you told yourself you’re too busy, too old or too tired? There are so many excuses people use to prevent themselves from getting in shape and losing weight that they’re missing out on living their best life. But none of these excuses are applicable when it comes to XBody training. XBody training began in Europe and has quickly spread to North America, becoming incredibly popular among celebrities and athletes because of its incredible capabilities. However, the XBody’s EMS Technology is suitable for everyone from 14 years of age and up, regardless fitness level and allows you to achieve the results of a 90-minute workout in only 20 minutes by amplifying your own efforts with electric muscle stimulation.
What is Electric Muscle Stimulation?
EMS is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses. While this technology is not new and has been used by physiotherapists for muscle rehabilitation for decades, Xbody is taking it to the next level; providing you with a higher quality and more intense workout than one would be capable of without.
How does it work?
When you arrive at Excel Health for your XBody workout, you will be asked to change into our XBody leggings and shirt. These garments are made of materials that facilitate conductivity. A specialized vest and pantsuit are then worn over top. This suit applies the power of EMS to all major muscle groups simultaneously – chest, back, stomach, legs, arms and glutes. You are then guided through twenty minutes of basic movements such as squats, lunges and bicep curls. This may sound easy, but with the added resistance you can work as hard (or as light) as you want.
During traditional strengthening, the brain sends impulses stimulating certain muscles to contract but not all muscles have a well-developed connection to the brain and get missed. With the XBody suit, even the muscles that would not normally get activated, are hard at work.
Benefits
Builds Muscles – The electrodes are strategically placed in the suit, directly over each major muscle group, so all impulses reach their target, even muscles fibres that would traditionally get missed. As you move, your muscles work against their own contractions, building muscle and strength.
Improves Posture – Using EMS can improve your posture. Not only are there special exercises for the back, lower back and shoulders, but electrodes built into the suit along the spinal cord strengthen rarely used muscles, with can lead to relief of back problems.
Relieves Joints – Many forms of exercise put additional pressure on the joints but with EMS the electric impulses work on the muscle directly, so there is no joint stress or additional pressure. With the help of a specialist it can be used after an injury or to relieve joint pain.
Balances out the Muscular System – By targeting the appropriate muscles groups with the strategically placed electrodes in the suit, EMS can be used to strengthen muscular imbalances and underdeveloped muscles.
Burn More Calories – Having more active muscle tissue requires more energy intake, which results in more calories being burned, even when resting.
Achieve a Toned Body – Full-Body EMS can help tone muscles, burn fat and reduce cellulite. Blood circulation in muscular and connective tissues is enhanced, which leads to firmer toned skin.
Saves Time – Not having enough time is one of the main reasons people say they don’t workout. With XBody you can achieve the results of a 90-minute workout in just 20 minutes, including muscle building, strengthening and cardio sessions according to your preference.
