Post-EMsculpt Essentials: Everything You Need to Achieve Success
While EMsculpt NEO works magic on your physique when it comes to muscle stimulation, certain practices can significantly enhance your results:
HYDRATION
First, what, if any, items do you need to stock up on before you enjoy your EMsculpt sessions? We consider hydration to be one of the most important things you need, and luckily, water is readily available for people at every corner. However, there are ways you can boost your water intake.
These include:
- Eat water-rich foods: Consume fruits and vegetables that are high in water and can help you stay hydrated. These include veggies like celery, cucumbers, and watermelon, for a few especially hydrating examples.
- Drink coconut water: Coconut water is a natural way to hydrate and increase your intake of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients.
- Keep electrolytes on hand: Electrolyte powders and drinks are another excellent way to boost water intake. Popular brands like Liquid IV and Gatorade offer several electrolyte options. Add the power to your water or work the drink into your routine to get an extra hydration boost!
You can also increase your H20 by doing the following:
- Drink at least eight glasses of water daily to replenish fluids lost during treatment.
- Set reminders on your phone or use a water-tracking app to ensure you drink enough fluids throughout the day.
- Carry a reusable water bottle wherever you go to make it easier to stay hydrated.
- Limit dehydrating beverages like alcohol and caffeinated drinks and compensate by drinking extra water.
- Monitor your urine color; pale yellow or clear urine indicates proper hydration, while dark yellow urine may indicate dehydration.
Pro-tip: Drinking water is an important part of fueling your body. Try sipping on it 30-60 minutes before every snack and meal.
FOCUS ON FUEL
What you eat post-EMsculpt NEO sessions is crucial for your recovery and success. Like everything else we do in life, whether working out, training for a marathon, or preparing for EMsculpt NEO, what we fuel our bodies with can make or break our results. This is why we recommend you consider what you consume before your treatment.
Here are a few helpful tips and advice on things to avoid if you’re committing to EMsculpt NEO body sculpting:
WHAT TO EAT
Eating a protein-rich diet is key to supporting muscle growth and repair. Incorporate lean proteins like:
- Chicken
- Fish
- Legumes
- Protein powders
- Beans and lentils
- Cottage cheese
- Greek yogurt
- Fish and shellfish
- Turkey breast
- Tofu
These foods are protein-packed and perfect for your body after an Emsculpt treatment because they help the body rebuild and strengthen effectively.
WHAT NOT TO EAT
Avoiding the following things will ensure you have the best body sculpting experience possible:
- Processed foods
- Sugary snacks
- Unhealthy fats
- Fast-food
- Fried foods
- Prepackaged meals with no nutritional value
- Carbonated beverages
- Alcohol
- Caffeine
OTHER THINGS TO DO
Ensuring you are well prepared for this body sculpting journey will make all the differences in how you look and feel before, during, and after EMsculpt NEO. Here are a few helpful tips to try to set yourself up for success:
- Plan your meals and snacks to avoid impulsive food choices and ensure you have nutritious options readily available.
- Practice mindful eating by paying attention to hunger and fullness cues and savoring each bite to enhance satisfaction.
- Aim for balanced meals that combine carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats to support overall health and well-being.
Pro Tip: Meal prepping for the week ahead can save time and stress and help you shop more efficiently to support your healthy goals.
PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOUR BODY NEEDS
Paying attention and listening to your body is vital after an EMsculpt session. Although EMsculpt NEO is designed for comfort, you might feel muscle sore afterward. That’s a positive sign—your muscles have been effectively worked! To give them time to recover and rebuild, it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours post-treatment, especially in the treatment area.
Pro Tip: Light activities like walking or gentle yoga can help promote circulation and potentially aid recovery.
EXERCISE REGULARLY
If exercise is not a part of your life, consider finding a new routine that works for your fitness levels and lifestyle and supports the muscles not only in your entire body but especially in the treatment area.
To start increasing your physical activity slowly:
- Start with low-impact activities like walking, swimming, or cycling to ease back into physical activity post-treatment.
- Listen to your body and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts as you feel more comfortable.
- Incorporate strength training exercises to complement the muscle-building effects of Emsculpt NEO, focusing on different muscle groups for overall balance.
- Include flexibility and mobility exercises such as yoga or Pilates to improve range of motion and prevent injury.
- Schedule regular workout sessions into your weekly routine to establish consistency.
- Find activities you enjoy and vary your workouts to prevent boredom and stay motivated.
- Consider working with a personal trainer or joining group fitness classes for added accountability.
EXERCISES TO CONSIDER PER TREATMENT AREA:
Full Body
If you are getting EMsculpt on multiple body areas, you should focus on incorporating full body exercises into your daily activities. These exercises can include:
- Squats
- Deadlifts
- Bench press
- Pull-ups
- Overhead presses
- Weighted medicine ball throws
- Jump rope
Abdomen
If you have EMsculpt on the stomach or love handles with the new flank applicator, these exercises can help support your new strong core:
- Planks
- Bicycle crunches
- Russian twists
- Vertical leg crunches
- Flutter kicks
- Mountain climbers
- Leg raises
Booty and legs
One of the most popular treatment areas for this body sculpting service is the buttocks and upper thighs. EMsculpt can work incredibly well for the lower body. Maintaining these results is important, and focusing on butt and leg exercises helps keep those gains. The best exercises for these areas include:
- Squats
- Lunges
- Glute bridges
- Single leg deadlifts
- Bulgarian split squats
- Sumo squats
Arms
If you invest in EMsculpt arm treatments, you should commit to a regular arm routine by doing the following:
- Triceps dip
- Barbell curls
- Lateral raises
- Pull-ups
- Plank shoulder taps
- Hammer curls
Back
EMsculpt treatments can help eliminate back fat, specifically around the bra line areas or upper back. To support your results and stay in tip-top shape, consider doing the following back exercises:
- Renegade rows
- Deadlifts
- Bent-over rows
- Superman
- Back extensions
How to Address Common Post-EMsculpt Concerns
What do I do if I am super sore?
Muscle soreness is a common side effect of EMsculpt because the treatment uses powerful muscle contractions to increase muscle mass. This soreness is like what you might experience after an intense workout and usually goes away in a few days. You should not be so sore that you cannot go about your daily routine.
Can I get EMsculpt on my stomach after a C-section?
It is advisable to wait about three months after your surgery to allow the uterus to return to normal size before receiving EMsculpt treatment. While HIFEM technology does not affect internal muscles like the uterus, it’s a safe precaution based purely on physiological science to wait about three months to avoid any unnecessary uterine stimulation. Yes, you can get EMsculpt Neo after having a C-section, but it should not be applied directly over your scar as it may cause a blister.
