The EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation), training can be beneficial to people of any age and fitness level. The suit delivers electrical impulses that cause the muscles to contract harder and more efficiently than during traditional exercises. The Team at Wisdom in Golf partnered up with the Catalyst Team to bring EMS Training at your leisure at home. They want to make sure that everyone can develop at their own pace with the technology.
We did a podcast with Bjoern Wöltermann, the CEO & Founder at Katalyst. He explained what EMS training was all about, and the potential that it holds for any golfer, whether amateur or professional.
[Minute 02.09] “We are talking about a brand new way to work out for the very first time in three thousand years. If we reflect on it, for the past 3000 years the Olympic Games have remained the same. We throw and wrestle things. We run and lift things. It used to be a simple rock. Now it’s more refined. But at the end of the day we measure the amount we can lift above our heads. This is what we literally measure.” – Bjoern WOLTERMAN, CEO and Founder of Katalyst
The technology has been in use for many decades, primarily in the physical therapy and rehab setting. However, it is now becoming more popular as a tool to help with workouts. EMS training allows for maximum results to be achieved in a short amount of time. A 20-minute EMS workout can be the equivalent of a 2-hour gym session. It is particularly beneficial to busy professionals with a hectic schedule who find it difficult to fit in exercise.
Whether your goal is to lose weight, gain muscle or improve your health overall, EMS will help you reach your goals more quickly than traditional exercises. EMS training can also be tailored to meet individual fitness goals and needs. The team at Wisdom in Golf claim to have experienced profound improvements in their golfing swings, improved mind-body connection, and an overall better feeling of well-being within a month of using the Katalyst Suit (Mid March to Late April).
