OnePulse EMS and Seniors:

Among the most frequent accidents involving senior citizens is falling.  With increasing age, muscle atrophy, increased body fat and loss of strength (also known as sarcopenia) falling and limited ability to move or perform everyday tasks is a real concern for seniors and a detriment to their quality of life. The only way to combat the progression and reverse this condition is exercise.  However in conventional strength training, it is difficult for most older adults to go above the required threshold to provoke an adequate muscular response.  Loading with weights simply becomes too much for the joints to handle and the risk of injury is much greater.  

Fortunately, OnePulse EMS training is the perfect exercise for older people, especially those over 60 and 70.  Training with OnePulse EMS keeps the blood pressure low, and the heart rate steady.  Therefore it allows exercise with the necessary intensity to stimulate skeletal muscle and to build and maintain muscle strength and mass.  Additionally,  OnePulse EMS is easy on the joints with simple body weight and balance exercises. In theory, you could even work out while sitting in a chair!  While this is all happening, senior clients will also be stimulating the metabolism which promotes healthy fat loss.
