There’s nothing quite as intensive as going for Electro Muscular Stimulation (EMS) training and these celebs swear by the technology.

It may be easy to think that most celebrities have simply struck the genetic lottery when it comes to looking good or staying fit. Well, let’s be honest, there’s a whole lot of behind the scenes work that goes into that body.

Now, instead of going to the traditional gym and spending over an hour at the various stations, some celebrities have embraced the benefits of EMS training, namely Electro Muscular Stimulation. Typically used by physiotherapists as a rehabilitative tool, the technique involves strapping on a body suit that sends electrical impulse currents to your body to train the different muscle groups in a far more efficient manner.

We know, we know. Electrical impulse currents may sound intimidating but cast those worries aside for this technology is safe and has been used for many years. It’s also not something that’s only suitable for those who’re already boasting of an active lifestyle. In fact, the intensity of the current can be customised and suited according to your comfort levels so no matter what lifestyle you’re leading, you’ll be able to enjoy the benefits of EMS training. Even if you’ve just given birth and would like to lose all that pregnancy weight, EMS training would be the best way to achieve greater results in a shorter time frame.

Just imagine, all you require is 20 minutes with an EMS suit for a workout that’s equivalent to a three hour-long gym session and it’s 18 times more effective because a majority of your muscles get activated each time. So instead of hemming and hawing when it comes to working out, here are three celebrities and an entire soccer team that have utilised EMS training to their advantage – and all the more reason for you to give it a go too.

At the end of the day, who could say no to less time spent at a gym?
