What EMS actually is
EMS = Electrical Muscle Stimulation. The suit has pads over each muscle that send a gentle electrical pulse, making the muscle contract on top of your own movement. That's why a 20-minute session feels like a much longer workout.
The "buzzing" — what it is & what it should feel like
The buzz is the electrical pulse doing its job. It should feel like a strong tingle that builds into a firm muscle squeeze — intense, but never sharp or painful. If it stings, pinches, or hurts, it's too high — turn it down.
It comes in cycles: the current switches ON (muscle contracts — you do the move), then OFF (muscle relaxes — you reset). Over and over for the whole session:
A common beginner cycle is about 4 seconds ON / 4 seconds OFF. The program controls this automatically — you just move on the "on".
Your very first session
Follow this the first time and you can't go wrong. Whole thing is ~25 minutes including setup.
Lightly spray/wet the electrode pads (they need moisture to conduct). Snug fit — pads flat against skin. Drink some water first.
Never fire EMS on cold muscles. Do easy squats, arm swings, marching in place.
On the program screen: 20 min, medium (or soft) intensity. See section ③ for what each control means.
Hit start. As it pulses, tap each muscle on the wheel and slowly raise it until you feel a firm squeeze — not pain. Leave them all on.
Do a slow rep or hold when it buzzes, relax when it stops. Go through the moves in section ⑥.
Last 2–3 min lower the intensity, gentle stretch. Peel pads off, drink water, eat some protein after.
The Program screen — every control
This is the screen you set before starting. Each row is one setting (the yellow choice is what's selected). Here's what they all mean + what to pick as a beginner.
| Icon | Setting | What it does | Beginner pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👕 Suit | Strength / Fatburning / Special | The type of program. Strength = short powerful bursts for muscle. Fatburning = longer contractions + movement for calorie burn. Special = recovery/massage. | Strength or Fatburning |
| ▶️ List | Program name (e.g. Fatburning 1) | The specific workout inside that type. | the "1" |
| ⏱️ Stopwatch | 20 min / 25 min | Total session length. | 20 min |
| 📊 Bars | soft / medium / hard | Overall intensity ceiling of the program. | soft→medium |
| ⚡ Lightning | 13 / 14 / 15 sec… | Impulse = how many seconds the current stays ON each cycle. Longer = more continuous work. | program default |
| ⏳ Hourglass | 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 sec… | Pause = rest seconds OFF between impulses. Longer = more recovery. | 4 sec |
Then START PROGRAM begins it; REPLAY PROGRAM reruns your last one.
The training wheel
Once you start, this is your main screen. The ring = your 12 muscle channels; the middle = play/pause.
12 muscle channels
Each slice is a muscle (Calf, Quads, Chest…) showing its current intensity %. Tap a slice to select it, then raise/lower just that muscle.
Play / Pause
Starts or pauses the pulsing. Pause bars = it's running; a play triangle = it's paused.
Time & program
Shows time elapsed · program name · time remaining so you know where you are.
Master intensity
The yellow bar scales all channels up or down at once — your quick "everything's too strong" dial.
Signal & settings
The waveform icon opens the buzz settings (section ⑤); the sliders icon opens program settings.
Leave them all on
Selecting a channel is only to change its level. All active channels still fire together — you don't work one at a time.
The "buzzing" settings (Amplitude Modulation)
This screen changes how the buzz feels — not how strong it is. It adds a wave so the current pulses instead of being a flat, constant buzz (more comfortable, and muscles don't "go numb" to it).
| Setting | What it does | Beginner pick |
|---|---|---|
| Active | Turns the wave on/off. On = the buzz rises & falls; off = flat constant buzz. | On |
| Depth (%) | How far the buzz dips. 0% = flat, 50% = drops to half then back, 100% = full on/off flutter. | 50% |
| Type | The shape of the wave — see below. | Sine or Square |
| Period length (ms) | How fast one wave cycles. 500 ms = two pulses per second. Lower = faster flutter, higher = slow swell. | 500 ms |
Your full-body 20-minute session
Because everything fires together, simple compound moves hit your whole body. Go bottom → top. Do the rep on the "on" pulse, relax on the "off".
0:00–5:00 · Warm up & set your levels
Start the program. During the pulses, tap around the wheel bottom→top and raise each channel to a firm-but-comfortable squeeze while doing light squats + arm swings.
5:00–17:00 · Main work (~12 min)
Flow through these ~1.5 min each. All muscles fire together; the move just decides which work hardest. Do the rep on the pulse, relax on the rest.
Standing Calf Raise
Rise onto toes, pause, lower slow.
Wall Sit
Back on wall, 90° knees, hold.
Slider Leg Curl
Bridge up, slide heel out & back.
Glute Bridge
Drive hips up, squeeze, lower slow.
Cossack / Sumo Squat
Wide stance, sink into one hip.
Superman Hold
Lift arms + legs, hold.
Forearm Plank
Straight line, brace hard. Add crunches.
Push-Up
Slow to a deep squeeze, press up.
Reverse Snow Angel
Sweep arms into a "Y", pinch blades.
Pike Push-Up
Hips high, lower head, press up.
Self-Resistance Curl
Curl up while pressing down on it.
Chair Dips
Dip off a chair edge, press up.
17:00–20:00 · Cool down
Lower the master intensity (bottom-right slider), gentle movement + stretch through the last pulses. End the program, peel pads off, hydrate.
Beginner full-body cheat sheet
Copy these settings for your first few weeks, then slowly turn things up as you adapt.
| Setting | Start with | Once you adapt (weeks 4+) |
|---|---|---|
| Program type | Strength (muscle) or Fatburning (fat loss) | Alternate both |
| Duration | 20 min | 20–25 min |
| Intensity | soft → medium | medium → hard |
| Per-muscle level | firm squeeze, no pain | higher, still controlled |
| Buzz type | Sine (smoothest) | Square (punchier) |
| Depth / Period | 50% / 500 ms | 50% / 500 ms |
| How often | 1× per week | up to 2× (with rest days) |
Safety — read this (from the manual)
EMS is a medical-grade device. The official manual is strict on this — here's what matters most, straight from it.
- A 20-min EMS workout ≈ 3–4 hours of traditional training (manual) — that's why you take it easy.
- Recovery: 48–72 hours between sessions. Start at 1×/week; never train two days in a row early on.
- Hydrate before, during & after — the manual specifically recommends still (non-carbonated) water. Eat protein after.
- Warm up first, never fire on cold muscles. Spray the silver electrodes with water before wearing for good contact.
- Stop immediately on sharp pain, headache, dizziness, or cramping — and see a physician. (Rarely, over-training can cause rhabdomyolysis — another reason not to overdo it.)
