How to Prep and Recover from an EMS Workout
Maximize Your Results at Bodystreet Jupiter
If you’re looking to get the most out of your EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) workout, how you prepare and recover is just as important as the workout itself. Whether you're training in Jupiter, commuting from Palm Beach Gardens, or driving in from West Palm Beach or Miami, these simple strategies will help you boost performance and improve results.
At Bodystreet Jupiter, our 20-minute EMS workouts pack a powerful punch—and with just one session a week, it's all about quality over quantity. Let’s dive into the top prep and recovery tips to make every session count.
Before Your EMS Workout: How to Prepare
1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Water is essential to muscle performance, especially when your muscles are being activated by EMS. Aim to drink at least 16–20 oz of water 1–2 hours before your session. Dehydrated muscles may cramp, and proper hydration ensures the electrical impulses travel efficiently through the body. Tip: Bring a water bottle with you to your Bodystreet session in Jupiter—especially important in Florida’s warm, humid climate.
2. Eat a Light, Balanced Snack
Don’t train on an empty stomach. A small snack with protein and complex carbs—like Greek yogurt with berries or a banana with almond butter—will give you energy without making you feel sluggish. Avoid: High-fat, heavy meals or sugary snacks right before your workout.
3. Come As You Are
Bodystreet provides all your EMS gear so come as you are. We give you the shorts, shirt, socks to wear under the EMS suit - and shoes are not needed for the workout!
After Your EMS Workout: How to Recover
1. Refuel with Protein
Your muscles will need fuel to repair and grow stronger after your EMS session. Eat a protein-rich meal or shake within 60 minutes post-workout. Think grilled chicken and veggies, a protein smoothie, or eggs with avocado toast. Goal: Aim for 20–30 grams of protein to aid muscle recovery.
2. Stay Hydrated Throughout the Day
Post-workout hydration is just as important. Continue drinking water to help flush out lactic acid, reduce soreness, and keep energy levels high.
3. Stretch or Go for a Light Walk
EMS training is intense—your muscles have done a full-body resistance workout in just 20 minutes. Gentle stretching or a short walk can help prevent stiffness the next day and improve circulation. Clients from Palm Beach Gardens and West Palm Beach often stop by nearby beaches or parks after class—movement and sunshine? A win-win.
4. Prioritize Rest and Sleep
Your muscles recover and grow while you sleep. Make sure to get 7–9 hours of rest following your EMS workout so your body can rebuild and come back even stronger for the next session.
Bonus Tips to Maximize Your EMS Results
Be consistent: One session per week is all it takes—but consistency is key to seeing strength and tone improve.
