The Emsculpt Neo has emerged as one of the leading body sculpting treatments and has introduced countless people to a whole new way of achieving the body they’ve always wanted. Thanks to the help of High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology with radiofrequency energy, an Emsculpt Neo treatment will trigger up to 20,000 contractions in a targeted area—everything from the abdomen to thighs, inner thighs, arms, legs, buttocks, back, and oblique muscles can be treated. These contractions affect the body’s muscle fibers, similar to how a workout causes micro-damage to your muscles that helps them grow stronger, increase their tone, and more.
An Emsculpt Neo treatment in Daytona Beach can be a tremendous asset for your body-sculpting goals since it offers a uniquely fast and painless way to help the body remove fat cells and support muscle growth. However, like any exercise, the Emsculpt Neo isn’t quite a one-stop shop for people looking to sculpt their bodies. To achieve the best possible results from your treatment, Dr. Jepma and the Anora Integrative Health and Aesthetics team recommend pairing your regular treatments with regular exercise. This doesn’t mean you need to become a full-time regular at the gym—unless you want to, of course—but by pairing a few targeted exercises with your Emsculpt Neo treatment, you can maximize the quality and timeliness of your results.
To help you get started, our team has identified some exercises you can use alongside each of the three primary Emsculpt Neo treatments available at Anora Integrative Health and Aesthetics in Daytona Beach.
How to Improve Your Emsculpt Neo Results in the Abdomen
Most people who finish a three-month Emsculpt Neo treatment report seeing up to a 30% decrease in fat, but if you want to take that further, try integrating some exercises between your Emsculpt Neo treatments. Here are some simple exercises to try for each of the areas an Emsculpt Neo treatment in Daytona Beach can target:
- Planks: There are several ways to plank, and you can’t really go wrong with any of them. The important thing is to check your form—which will ensure you’re working the muscles you’re targeting—and focus on flexing your muscles as hard as possible while holding the plank or repeating a motion. The nice thing about these exercises is that you can do them at home on your own time, making it easy to incorporate them into your daily routine, tweak them to your desired difficulty, and maintain a consistent schedule.
- Crunches: The most familiar abdominal exercise, crunches are another way to improve your core strength from the comfort of your home. This exercise has so many variations to try, making it easy to experiment and find the best way to meet your abilities or goals. For example, knee crunches target the upper abdominal muscles, bicycle crunches hit the lower muscles, cross crunches affect the oblique muscles along your ribs, and plank crunches work the entire abdominal area.
While not an exercise, nutrition is another important piece to improving your abdominal area and maximizing your Emsculpt Neo results. It can be challenging to lose stomach fat with exercise alone, so adding additional nutrition to your diet and augmenting those efforts with the Emsculpt Neo can make your results even more noticeable.
We recommend prioritizing high-quality sources of protein and healthy fats, like those found in avocados, olive oil, and coconut oil. You should also focus on getting soluble fibers (found in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and oats) into your diet, as they help you feel full after eating less. And, as you’ve likely heard before, avoid trans fats when possible since they are often responsible for the type of stomach fat people want to address.
How to Improve Your Emsculpt Neo Results in the Thighs
Like the abdominal muscles, the Emsculpt Neo’s large and edge applicators can target the front, back, inner, and outer thigh areas. The Anora Integrative Health and Aesthetics team can customize your Emsculpt Neo treatment to reduce fat, improve definition, tone the muscles, increase muscle mass, and promote a more “lifted” appearance in the thighs. However, as we’ve said, if you want to see the best Emsculpt Neo results, you will want to add some exercise to your lifestyle. Get started with these:
- Squats: The most tried-and-true exercise for developing thigh strength. You don’t need to have additional weights, either. Performing a squat at home by lowering your body (as if sitting in a chair) and then standing back up is enough to create the kind of tension in the muscle that promotes growth.
- Lunges: This exercise is another classic way to work on the thigh and leg muscles. They allow you to work each leg individually, which can help you address imbalances in muscle growth across the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes while also stretching the muscle and promoting functional strength.
- Wall Sits: If you want an easy way to support your thigh muscles, try wall sits! By holding a seated position against a wall, this isometric exercise creates sustained tension in the quadriceps to help you develop muscular endurance and strengthen the front of your thighs.
