The Victoria’s Secret Angels like to stay on the cutting edge of fitness. So we’re pretty excited to learn one of their fave workouts has made its way Down Under!

It’s called EMS (short for Electrical Muscle Stimulation) and it promises to get you a bangin’ bod in just 20 minutes. All you need to do is to put on a suit (it’s fully washable and you can wear it under your normal gym clothes) for your workout and you’ll feel your muscles fire in ways they never have before. Best of all? You can try it right now at gyms including 20PerFit in Sydney. Chantal Semaan from 20PerFit answers all your questions…

How does EMS work?

EMS imitates the natural action of the central nervous system, sending electrical impulses to contract deep muscle fibres. It’s been used by physios and sports scientists for decades, and commercially in Europe for more than 10 years.
