I've never thought that working up a sweat at the gym could be sexy, but the 'Body Heat' editorial makes burning calories look more like a [Victoria's Secret](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victorias-secret-relaunched) commercial than a workout.

Featuring models Maja Mayskär and Linnea Regnander with photography by James Nelson, the Russh Magazine photo shoot shows off the two blonde bombshells as they stretch, twist and rock some yoga poses. What makes the Body Heat photo series so seductive is how the duo does each move and exercise together in a smooth and synchronized manner. Stylist Billie Iveson outfits the girls in [gym apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onyx-collection) that is both functional and flirty while [make up artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gymcare-kit) Nancy Siler keeps their faces fresh and clean.

The 'Body Heat' editorial may give you some serious body envy, but it could also inspire you to hit the gym like, now.
