Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner, who is making headlines for her high-profile relationship with actor Timothee Chalamet, is always showcasing her stunning figure, most recently while promoting her latest fashion line, which includes bikinis and swimsuits.

The pair have one thing in common, and that is that they have both tried the latest fitness favorite technique, and that is none other than EMS or Electrical Muscle Stimulation.

EMS is the practice of delivering tiny pulses of electricity to the muscle while working out,” Brandon Nicholas, NASM certified personal trainer, explained to Byrdie. “These contractions mimic the body's natural muscle contractions after brain stimulation to elevate the training's intensity. This training method aims to fortify the muscle strength of the targeted muscle groups.”

EMS originated in Europe and has become a favorite in Hollywood. Tom used it while preparing for his role in 'Spider-Man,' while Kylie showed her EMS workout during one of the episodes of 'The Kardashians.' Chrissy Teigen also talked about it during an episode of 'The Kelly Clarkson Show.'

The workouts are short and range from 10 to 20 minutes. “A simple circuit training can have twice or thrice its normal effects on the body when done while being hooked up to an EMS machine,” Nicholas said to the publication. “As this device doubles the intensity of the workout training itself, weight loss and muscle toning may be sped up with this integration.”
