How often should I train with Bodify EMS? Tips for Application
Once you've decided to start EMS training, one common question arises: How often should you train with EMS?
Here we take a closer look at the ideal training frequency and provide tips for using and applying your EMS trainers.
Key Tips on Training Frequency
Especially for beginners, good preparation can be helpful. EMS training shares many similarities with conventional fitness training. Therefore, it’s a good idea to gradually ease into the new format.
At the beginning, you can start with a lower intensity level. As you get used to the training, you can adjust the intensity at any time—based on your personal comfort and preference.
As a starting point: A moderate training frequency can be helpful in the early stages (intensity level 1–3). Many Bodify users choose to train with EMS two to three times per week.
Be sure to schedule recovery days between sessions. These rest periods help your body adapt to the new form of exertion. As with any other physical activity, a balance of training and rest can contribute to overall well-being.
EMS in Everyday Life – Weekly Routine Tips
No matter which Bodify device you use, having a clear structure in your daily life is important. It's helpful to plan your EMS sessions accordingly, so you can gradually build your own training routine.
If you’re using multiple devices, such as the EMS trainer for arms, legs, and abdominal area, it may make sense to alternate muscle groups on different days. For example: focus on your abs one day and use the leg trainer the next.
This not only helps with staying organized but also supports building a steady routine into your everyday life.
Why These Usage Recommendations Make Sense
You might wonder: Is training two to three times a week really enough?
Especially when trying out a new training method, motivation is often high at the beginning. You want to use the new device intensively and gain quick experience.
But even with EMS technology, it makes sense to ease into the routine. By following a structured approach with enough rest, the experience will be more comfortable and sustainable over time.
Just like with other forms of exercise, a steady rhythm combined with rest helps create lasting habits. Rather than training as often as possible, it’s more beneficial to follow the recommended intervals and listen to your body.
Getting Started with EMS Training
EMS training with Bodify gently introduces you to this new method. Our trainers offer multiple intensity levels that can be adjusted individually.
For beginners, we recommend starting at a low intensity level—such as level 1 to 3. It’s important to choose a setting that feels comfortable for you. Your personal comfort should always be the priority during a session.
Over time, you can gradually increase the intensity. Be sure to take small steps when adjusting to higher levels.
Your Structured EMS Training Plan
So here's the takeaway: training two to three times per week is a good guideline. Many of our users find this recommendation practical, helping them to embrace the method and integrate it into their routine in a structured way.
How your personal training journey evolves will vary. Factors such as your starting level, lifestyle, and individual goals all play a role.
Keep in mind: EMS training is meant to complement an overall active lifestyle. Therefore, a balanced diet and regular physical activity should remain key elements of your well-being.
