Alright guys – I’m ready to talk about my EMSCULPT experience and get vulnerable.
(For those of you who dont know, EMSCULPT is the first and only non-invasive body shaping procedure that helps to sculpt your mid section/abs. It can also help sculpt your arms and butt area. The treatment is completely non-invasive, painless with no needles or downtime. It’s also non-thermal, non-ionizing and non-radiating. It’s completely safe and maybe a little too easy?!)
TO sum it up: you lay on a bed, strap this contraption to your stomach and literally let the machine do its thing. 30 minutes later it’s the equivalent of doing 20,000 crunches! 20,000! (I think I could do crunches every day for a year and not achieve that number!)
My approach and how I feel about “body altering”:
When Shirley, at Mint Spa, first presented the EmSculpt machine to me. I was skeptical and hesitant. I’d been seeing Shirley for skin treatments (facials) for years and trust her wholeheartedly, But the whole thing seemed to good to be true.
I’ve always been huge advocate for empowering people to do what they need to do to feel great about themselves. {Life is short and whatever you need, to make yourself feel beautiful, “You do you boo!”}
And can I just be real? Sometimes, you work your damn ass off and still don’t get the results you want “naturally”.
I am a very active person. My friends and family would describe me as somewhat of a tornado. {Always on the move}
I’m also very into health and natural living. (Not the extreme kind. I can definitely get down with a bowl of pasta and I’m no stranger to dark chocolate.) I try to live by the whole ‘balance is key’ motto. I eat healthy, mostly plant based, organic foods; on a daily basis and hit the gym on average 4 to 5 days a week. (Closing those active rings baby!) But you wouldn’t find me walking in a crop top any time soon…
I’ve been trying to get a 6 pack for YYYEEEAAARRRRSSS!!! I’m not fat by any means. At 5’ 2”, a 107 lbs. I dont feel like I need to “lose inches or weight.” But I’ve been dying for a tight core forever [ instead of the flat but very soft tummy and somewhat giggly belly, I’d been rocking.]
So, I decided to go for. If this thing could give me, in 4 thirty minute sessions, what I’ve been working towards for the last 6 years, I am all for it!
now let’s get REAL about the results I saw from my EMSCULPT treatments.
- Did I get my six pack? Its about 4 weeks out from my last treatment (the ideal/suggested time out for full results is 12 weeks— and honestly, I see it get better with time.) In short, no, I didn’t get my straight up dream 6 pack, but damn do I feel better and more confident in my own skin THAN EVER!!! I NEVER wore a bikini on vacation with my husband (like actually! I looked every where for a before picture of me in a bikini and couldn’t find one because I was always way to self conscious to wear a bikini and opted for a one piece every time.) Again, I was never fat, but that soft skin was flabby and definitely giggled a bit. I just didn’t feel good. I felt soft. After EMSCULPT I’d go grocery shopping in a bikini! I honestly can’t believe the confidence it gave me. On a recent trip to mexico, you better believe I rocked that bikini the whole trip and my husband has never been more attracted to me. If you told me that all EMSCULPT was going to give me was; confidence, I’d do it all over again.
I DID, however get those sexy lines on the side of my stomach that show definition and the top area of my abs has a LOT of definition. I am well on my way and light years ahead of where I was int he fight to get a six pack!
- Tighter tummy. You bet! I DO feel like the EMSCULPT treatments tightened my tummy – for real. My abs were still subject to all the normal things that can affect how tight you look… time of the month, digestion, water retention etc. But overall, I definitely feel like my abs are tighter after doing these treatments.
- Loss of inches. I lost two inches around my waist by the end of my EMSCULPT treatments! I feel like my mid section has a way more defined hour-glass figure.
- Stronger core by far this was the biggest difference after my four treatments. I can go longer and stronger at the gym now! I can knock out a core workout with ease now more than ever.
- It’s NOT a replacement for diet and exercise. REAL TALK guys: I am still very much a active person. I am well aware that nothing really replaces diet and exercise. If I’m being totally honest, the ideal timing for EMSCULPT would be when you’re ready to make that life change to start incorporating diet and/or exercise and getting in shape, if you’re not already. EMSCULPT will either give a very active/in shape person that last 10% they need or help get a “out of shape/inactive” person the boost they need to start feeling better about themselves. Because it will strengthen your core SO MUCH, EMSCULPT is a great way to prep your body for getting back in shape.
Would I recommend EmSculpt? - 100% YES! EmSculpt is an AMAZING alternative and just great idea for anyone but especially for people who are crazy busy and need gym results without the time or money for gyms and dieting. (I mean, who has time for 20,000 crunches.) It will definitely kick-start your motivation if you’re trying to get in shape and just lose some inches off your belly.
And it will definitely give people who are “already in shape” that last 10% that you work so hard for. - I highly recommend this procedure to anyone whose looking to feel better in their own skin!
