Quadriceps Workout With Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)
EMS devices and electrodes recommendations
EMS Workout Of The Quadriceps
The quadriceps is the anterior thigh muscle. It is the counterpart to the leg biceps. The quadriceps is our largest muscle and consists of four cords. These lead from the knee to the hip joint and to the pelvis. The leg extensor is responsible for allowing us to extend the knee while walking. Due to our predominantly sedentary lifestyle with bent legs, the leg extensor muscles shorten and as a result, the groin often shortens as well. To prevent this, you can train and build the muscles with EMS training and an EMS machine!

Exercise For The Quadriceps Workout
Beginners: Squats without EMS
- Stand with your feet slightly wider than your hips
- Your toes should be pointed slightly outward
- Look straight ahead and keep that during the exercise, don't look at the floor
- Put your arms straight out in front of you. They should be parallel to the ground
- Squat down until your hip joint is lower than your knees. Your knees should be in a line to your feet
- Stand back up from your squat
- Repeat the exercise several times
Advanced: Squats with EMS
- Place the electrode pads on your quadriceps as shown
- Select the recommended program from your muscle stimulator
- Stand with your feet slightly wider than your hips
- Your toes should be pointed slightly outward
- Look straight ahead and keep that during the exercise, don't look at the floor
- Put your arms straight out in front of you. They should be parallel to the ground
- Squat down until your hip joint is lower than your knees. Your knees should be in a line to your feet

Please note:
The current strength should be set so that the intended muscle contracts significantly without feeling pain.
Before your workout you should warm up the muscles to prepare them for the upcoming exercise load. Our EMS TENS combo machine offers pre-installed warm-up-programs, which automatically start right before the actual training program. Therefore you can train very relaxed.
