The history of MIHA BODYTEC
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) technology has undergone decades of research and development to reach its current form. The localized application of electrical impulses, characteristic of this technology, is used in a range of fields, including rehabilitation, physiotherapy, cosmetics, astronautics, and professional sports. Following extensive research and testing, MIHA BODYTEC was developed, primarily for use in fitness.

MIHA BODYTEC was developed in 2007 in Gersthofen, Germany, by MIHA Maschinen GmbH, a company that has been manufacturing sports and medical products for more than 40 years. The inventors set out to create a device that would help people with busy lives work out intensively. MIHA BODYTEC uses electrical muscle stimulation to deliver fast, effective results by training and working the entire body. The impulses enter the body and work both on the skin’s surface, smoothing imperfections, and deeper in the muscles, toning and shaping them. This makes this workout the perfect solution for anyone short on time.

30 minutes with MIHA BODYTEC are equivalent to 180 minutes of traditional training. It works 90% of the body’s muscles simultaneously, generating 36 muscle contractions during the session.
The workout suit is made from breathable antibacterial material that guarantees hygiene and physical comfort during exercise. Don’t be put off by all the cables and wires attached to the suit to deliver the electronic impulses. The cables are built into the garments so they won’t hinder your workout and are as safe as possible.

The workout suit has 10 pairs of electrodes. Each pair activates a different muscle group, but all ten work simultaneously to stimulate the muscles throughout the body at the same time. The electrodes are attached to the limbs with separate straps. The electrodes’ special cables can also be used for medical procedures and physiotherapy.
Training with MIHA BODYTEC
Workouts are one-on-one and led by a qualified instructor. They assess the trainee’s physical abilities and create a tailored program targeting problem areas. Two or three sessions per week are recommended, as the muscles are worked intensively and it is important to allow enough time for recovery.

The main advantage of MIHA BODYTEC is that it helps people train effectively when they cannot afford to work out regularly and intensively. This type of workout is suitable for mothers with children, athletes with injuries, business professionals, and others with similar lifestyles.
During a MIHA BODYTEC session, the body can burn an average of 500 calories, with additional calories continuing to burn for up to 3 days after the workout, even without physical activity. Regular MIHA BODYTEC workouts boost metabolism, while muscle mass increases as excess inches and pounds are shed.

The 30-minute workout includes basic exercises that are an integral part of classic fitness sessions, such as squats, lunges, planks, and sit-ups. As you gain experience, weights are added to further stimulate the muscles and achieve even faster, more visible results. Instructors often include jumps and burpees to add a cardio element to the workout.
The Benefits of MIHA BODYTEC
Electrical muscle stimulation has many benefits. The main advantage of MIHA BODYTEC is that you can achieve impressive results in a short time—provided, of course, that you follow a proper diet. MIHA BODYTEC workouts effectively and visibly firm and shape your muscles, reduce cellulite, tone, and massage your body. Other benefits of the technology include:

Diet
Although many would describe the effects of MIHA BODYTEC as “magical,” the technology is much less effective if you don’t follow a proper diet. It’s important to think of electrical muscle stimulation workouts as regular fitness sessions. This means eating enough protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Try to eat more meat and fish, and don’t forget your vegetables. Staying well hydrated is also essential. Aim to drink around 2 liters of water a day, and up to 3 liters on workout days.
