20-minute workout at Body Express
Are you struggling to fit in your after-work gym hours or your morning run? Body Express has the ideal solution for those who are short on time: a 20-minute workout that equals countless hours in the gym.
They use German electro muscle stimulation (EMS) technology, which directly targets and activates 90% of your muscles, creating contractions that are 30 percent more intense. The workout is low-impact but high-intensity so they recommend only one session a week, leaving you plenty of extra ‘me’ time.
