Today's Tip:
DO MUSCLE STIMULATORS WORK?
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) devices have been used for years
in physical therapy and sports medicine to help individuals recover
from injuries. They can increase range of motion, relieve pain,
increase circulation, and temporarily strengthen muscles. This has led
many to believe EMS can be used to get in shape or lose weight. While
these devices may temporarily tone or firm a muscle, their calorie
burning ability is marginal at best. In fact, the Food and Drug
Administration rejects certification of any devices that claim weight
reduction. The best way to get in shape is to combine regular cardio
and resistance exercise.
