PARTNER CONTENT | Could 20 minutes make you stronger on the bike? 🚴

There’s no substitute for time in the saddle, but strength, power, core stability and recovery all play a role in cycling performance. That’s where Body20’s EMS Cycling Programme comes in, offering a quick, effective way to boost strength and performance in just 20 minutes.

A whole-body EMS session recruits multiple muscle groups simultaneously – including the glutes, quads, hamstrings and core – making targeted strength and conditioning easier to fit around your riding.

EMS isn’t a replacement for riding. Think of it as another tool to add to your training mix — particularly when time is tight. Book your free Body20 EMS assessment today at https://body20.co.za/cycling.
