If you can’t stir with the big girls stay away from the cauldron shirt

 WHILE THIS MAY sound like an episode of Black Mirror, in which a simple beauty treatment somehow ends with machine-animated clones attempting to murder each other, there is nothing especially new (or scary) about electrical muscle stimulation, which has been used in physical therapy and rehabilitation protocols since the 1960s to reduce pain and swelling or to keep muscles from atrophying after an injury. “By stimulating the tissue, these machines help increase blood flow into the area and facilitate voluntary muscle contraction,” explains Michael Fredericson, M.D., a sports-medicine physiatrist at Stanford University. Fredericson is less optimistic about electrical muscle stimulation’s cosmetic benefits. “There’s no free lunch,” he deadpans. “Using a device like this might be a good starting point for a more defined silhouette, but ultimately, you will have to exercise to get the results you want.” Dennis Cardone, D.O., a sports-medicine specialist at NYU Langone, agrees. “If someone isn’t able-bodied, I can see the benefits of using one of these machines,” he says. “But otherwise, I’d say, save your money and start with a good home-workout program.” The electric currents kneading and manipulating my midsection made the muscles pop up on my stomach, Alien-style. Strangely, I came to experience the sensation as almost relaxing To my surprise, Chapas doesn’t completely disagree with this logic. “
