EMSculpt Abs: Your Guide to Getting a Six-Pack Without the Gym

For many fitness enthusiasts, a defined six-pack is the ultimate goal and one they spend endless hours trying to achieve or maintain. Unfortunately, for many people, even hours in the gym dedicated to ab workouts and healthy eating are not always enough to sculpt the muscles. Factors like genetics and resistance to traditional ab exercises can make it challenging to shed belly fat and reveal a toned midsection.

EMSculpt offers a solution for both men and women to achieve a chiseled core without relying solely on exercise or clean eating. This article will discuss the revolutionary power and benefits of EMSculpt ab treatments and how EMSculpt can help you get the midsection you’ve always wanted.

Why is it SO Hard to Sculpt and Define Abs?

Getting defined abs can be challenging, even with a strict diet and workout regimen. Belly fat, unlike fat in other areas, is considered “active fat” because it produces hormones that affect gut health and overall body function. This means that traditional ab workouts alone may not yield the desired results. While routine exercise and a tailored diet can help shred fat in areas like your arms and legs, many people turn to non-invasive treatments like EMSculpt NEO to tackle stubborn belly fat. Here are some factors, beyond diet and exercise, that can impact your ability to define your abs and shape your waistline:

• Genetics: Your genetic makeup determines how your body stores fat. Some naturally retain more fat in their abdomen, making it harder to achieve visible ab definition.
• Hormones and Stress: The stress hormone cortisol is directly linked to increased fat storage in the abdomen. Other hormonal imbalances, such as decreasing estrogen, thyroid issues, or adrenal disorders, can also contribute to stubborn belly fat.
• Sleep Habits: Quality sleep is crucial for muscle growth and body fat reduction. During sleep, the pituitary gland releases human growth hormone (HGH), which promotes muscle repair and recovery.
• Age: As you age, your metabolism slows by about 1-2% per decade, making fat loss more difficult even with proper diet and exercise.

EMSculpt to the Rescue for Your Abs

The good news is that if you are one of those people who just cannot sculpt ab muscles despite all your efforts, EMSculpt can help! EMSculpt NEO is a revolutionary body sculpting treatment that simultaneously builds muscle and burns fat. The New England Center of Body Sculpting proudly offers this incredible treatment to help clients achieve their body goals.

In a convenient 30-minute session, the EMSculpt NEO applicator delivers both High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy and Radiofrequency (RF) energy. The RF energy heats the muscles and fat cells, warming the tissues and causing fat cells to break down. Within minutes, the fat cells begin to die off. The reduction in fat cells is permanent. The remaining fat cells may temporarily swell with weight gain then shrink with weight loss. The fat cells are not likely to regrow unless there is substantial weight gain for example over 50 pounds.

Simultaneously, HIFEM energy penetrates the muscle tissue, inducing intense contractions known as supramaximal contractions—far more powerful than what can be achieved through exercise. During a single EMSculpt NEO session, over 20,000 supramaximal contractions are delivered to the abdominal muscles. This intense stimulation causes the body to build new muscle cells and strengthen muscle fibers in response to the stress.

EMSculpt Builds, Tones, and Strengthens the Abs

While popular treatments like CoolSculpting primarily focus on fat reduction, they often overlook a crucial aspect of body composition: muscle. Reducing belly fat helps reveal abdominal definition, but true sculpting requires muscle development. That’s where EMSculpt comes in. This innovative body-shaping treatment uses electromagnetic energy to induce powerful muscle contractions, effectively building, toning, and strengthening the abdominal muscles for a more defined and toned midsection.

EMSculpt Abs in Clinical Reviews

Don’t just take our word for it. EMSculpt is backed by countless clinical studies and trials. And, it boasts some pretty impressive stats, including:

• 19% increase in muscle thickness
• 4% decrease in subcutaneous fat at 6-month follow-up
• 73mm reduction in the fat layer
• 46% reduction of diastasis recti

Can I Combine EMSculpt With Other Treatments?

Absolutely! One of the best ways to supercharge your EMSculpt results is to combine it with other treatments like CoolSculpting Elite.

Here’s how the treatments work together to improve your midsection:

Step 1: CoolSculpting Demolishes Stubborn Fat in the Stomach

Your journey to a sculpted physique begins with CoolSculpting, a trusted treatment known for eliminating stubborn fat. Using cryolipolysis technology, this FDA-cleared procedure freezes and destroys fat cells in targeted areas like the abdomen, thighs, and flanks. As a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime, CoolSculpting is a convenient choice for many. Over the following weeks, the body naturally flushes out the dead fat cells, gradually revealing a slimmer, more defined silhouette. The reduction in fat cells because of CoolSculpting is permanent. The remaining fat cells may temporarily swell with weight gain and then shrink with weight loss. The fat cells eliminated by CoolSculpting are not likely to regrow unless there is substantial weight gain. For example, over 50 pounds.

Step 2: Strengthen and Tone Your Abdominals with EMSculpt NEO

Once you’ve achieved a leaner figure, EMSculpt NEO takes the spotlight to shape further and tone your body. This advanced procedure combines radiofrequency (RF) heating to eliminate remaining fat cells and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) waves to induce intense muscle contractions. EMSculpt NEO reduces fat and builds and tones muscles in areas like the abdomen and buttocks, helping you achieve a firm, athletic appearance.

Pairing CoolSculpting with EMSculpt NEO has become a rising trend in body contouring, and for good reason:

• Maximized Fat Reduction: Together, these treatments target fat from multiple approaches, enhancing fat elimination in stubborn areas.
• Muscle Building: EMSculpt NEO goes beyond fat reduction, building and toning muscles to improve your body’s overall firmness and shape.
• Time Efficiency: Combining the treatments shortens the time it takes to reach your body goals, offering faster, more comprehensive results than spacing them out.
• Customizable Plans: This dual approach allows your provider to create a personalized plan that caters to your unique body contouring needs.
• Confidence Boost: The visible and tangible transformation from this combination treatment enhances your body confidence, helping you feel empowered and self-assured.

Elevate Your EMSculpt Abs with the NEW Flank Applicator

The new EMSculpt NEO Edge Applicator elevates fat reduction by specifically targeting the flanks to enhance the body’s natural contours. It creates a V-shaped physique for men and accentuates the waistline for women. Patients experience permanent fat reduction around the waist and an increase in midsection muscle mass. Three months after completing the treatment series, the fat reduction becomes permanent, with no maintenance required other than avoiding significant weight gain. To maintain muscle building, periodic Edge Applicator booster sessions, regular workouts, or a combination of both can help sustain your results.

Boost EMSculpt Ab Results at Home

While EMSculpt provides impressive results, it is important to follow proper aftercare at home. To ensure your abdominal muscles stay in tip-top, rock-hard shape, you should focus on the following:

1. Eating Healthy

You’ve likely heard the clique saying, “Abs are made in the kitchen.” It’s the truth! You cannot expect to have rock-hard abdominal muscles and not eat correctly.

A healthy diet plays a key role in losing fat and defining your abs by creating a calorie deficit and fueling your workouts. Here are some tips for eating to achieve ab definition:

• Eat a Balanced Diet: Incorporate plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, high-fiber carbohydrates, and healthy fats into your meals.
• Increase Protein Intake: Protein helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces appetite, and promotes weight loss. It also supports muscle retention during fat loss.
• Limit Added Fats: Be mindful of added fats, like butter, and try to reduce them where possible.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and avoid sugary beverages to keep your body hydrated and support fat loss.
• Opt for Smaller Meals: Eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day can help manage hunger and keep your metabolism active.
• Combine Diet with Exercise: Pair your healthy eating with regular cardio and targeted ab exercises to maximize fat loss and muscle definition.

2. Work Those Ab Muscles Regularly

EMSculpt ab treatments do an incredible job of strengthening the muscles. However, it is important to continue working on those ab muscles regularly at home. We recommend focusing on abdominal strength training and definition 2-3 times weekly.

Training your abs two to three times a week with two to three exercises per session is sufficient to promote optimal development without overtraining. If you’re already exercising three to four times a week, add a couple of ab exercises to the end of your routine for efficient results.
