  • South Korea-based Barunbio Energywear workout clothes deliver low power electrical stimulation all over the body to speed muscle gain.  Here's what we know:
  • This high-tech workout gear collects electrical energy produced by the body and redistributes it
  • Company says 20 minutes of lunges while being zapped equals 2 hours of workout
  • No battery needed - body movement powers it
  • Micro-electric stimulation from the exercise and clothing activates muscle cells
  • Barunbio Energywear is stitched with special fibers that conduct electricity
  • Their product WE-Stim leggings (wearable electric stimulation leggings) just won an Innovation Award at CES 2024
  • The micro-electricity that we all produce but dissipate and loose in normal exercise outfits is captured and directed to muscles in Energywear, including WE-Stim
  • The company claims their electrical stimulation gear improve performance by 30%, reduces fatigue by 6% and offers anti-aging benefits.
