Sam’s stomach is rock hard after using Slendertone System-Abs

Posted by Sam

At first I was really sceptical when agreeing to trial this product as I’ve heard it all before! For it to be a fair trial I decided to be dedicated to a schedule and without fail during the week at work I have used my Slendertone belt.

For the first few weeks I noticed a slight strengthening of my stomach muscles but no real visual difference. After regularly using my belt and pushing myself a bit harder with the power setting I am noticing real benefits. Firstly my stomach is rock hard! I only really noticed when talking to a friend about the belt and prodding myself in the stomach. I then realised that the hard work from the previous 2 weeks had paid off. Secondly I am starting to notice the increased definition of my stomach muscles. I have no doubt that if I carry on with my routine they will look more defined. To be honest, although my 4 week trial is over I am still carrying on!

I figure that it doesn’t take much to use the belt during work and there are real benefits so why stop? I hope to write another post after another 4 weeks and let you know how I’m getting on.

Ashley disappointed he didn’t use the Slendertone belt more often, noticeable difference after running though!

Posted by Ashley
The 4 week trial is up and I am a bit disappointed that I didn’t get more use out of the belt in the last week and a half. A busy couple of weeks unfortunately dropped the belt to the bottom of the to do list, even at work I have forgotten to wear the belt whilst at the desk.

The most encouraging signs of toning improvement were seen after running, the morning after I usually ached more then usual. I think it makes sense to develop the belt around general exercise because the body is working harder and developing the muscles more. I found sitting at my desk with the toning belt on didn’t feel like it was doing as much compared to standing (or running) with the body in an upright position.

I haven’t developed a full on six pack but in the limited time I have used the belt my muscles have strengthen. If I religiously used the belt 4 times a day I am confident I would have seen better results. Also, with the football season & training starting again I have found it hard muster the enthusiasm. I think the belt would suit someone who does limited sports activity but keen to get fit and start doing more.

The Slendertone System is extremely easy and quick to set up each time – cannot fault the products design, functionality or help guides.

Richard finds tummy definition after four weeks using Slendertone System-Abs

Posted by Richard

At the end of week 4 I hadn’t noticed much of a change, I felt stronger but there was no visible difference. At the weekend I was looking in a mirror and noticed that there is a small amount of definition at the sides of my stomach, this has really encouraged me to keep going. I am doing 120 minutes a day at 85 – 99 this week while sitting at my desk.

Rachael’s final thoughts on Slendertone System-Abs

Posted by Rachael

The slendertone belt was beneficial in the way that your abs felt toned after use, but I think you have to think of it as more of an accessory. I have used it in conjunction with my normal exercise routine and have felt overall more toned from it.

I think I will definitely continue to use the belt, but in addition to regular exercise as well.

I think the trial has just confirmed my original thoughts that if you want to lose weight and tone up, there is no quick fix. You have to combine diet with exercise and implement this with your lifestyle. Exercise needs to be fun, challenging and regularly reviewed and changed. I Think it is like anything in life, if you want outstanding results you have to be prepared to put the work in!

Thanks for including me in the trial, I found it very beneficial.

Matt’s Overall Thoughts Of Slendertone System Abs

Posted by Matt

Over this last week of the trial I have had the system-abs belt on a higher setting than usual. I set the intensity to around 70 (which is more than enough for me) using program setting 5, I have also been using it twice a day.

I’ve definitely noticed more of a difference, it’s a bit more uncomfortable in the higher settings which can make it hard to concentrate when your sitting at a desk, I have also noticed that in the evening my muscles still feel like they are tensing which has obviously got to be a good thing. I’m not sure if I can see much of a physical change but I really think to get the best out of this product it is a good idea to eat healthy and do plenty of exercise. I think it’s a good idea to use the product on the days when you feel too tired to do exercise, so at least your doing something. I will continue to use the product and report back if I find that I’m making more progress on a flatter stomach!

It has been a learning experience, gone are the days when toning belts felt like they were giving you an electric shock every 5 seconds and your body convulsed uncomfortably for 30 minutes! Slendertone seem to have overcome these problems and made it a comfortable experience and something that we can use in our everyday lives.

Richard replaces pads on his Slendertone System-Abs

Posted by Richard

After 4 weeks of using the slendertone the time has come to replace the pads as the old ones had lost there stickiness. I have decided to continue with the slendertone. It has made a difference, although its not a visable one because of a tummy. I am still at 99 and level 7. I am doing 2 lots of these one after another 80 minutes. Which is probably why I am noticing the difference.

If you need any pads you can buy them on the Slendertone website

Slendertone Pads on its last legs but Richard feels his abs getting stronger.

Posted by Richard

Its been 4 weeks and I think that the pads are giving up, I can feel much less resistance at 99 than I used to. Or maybe I am getting used to it. I have been doing 120 minutes at 99 for the last few sessions.

I think that my abs have got stronger and I feel that I have been working them out.

Matt eating healthily and Slendertoning

Posted by Matt

I’m still trying to keep up my healthy regime! I still haven’t moved into the new house as yet so at the moment we are living off paper plates and without cooking facilities which isn’t ideal, it makes it very hard to prepare healthy dinners but I’m doing my best, when I’m not too stressed out I’m using the slendertone abs belt, I must admit I haven’t been using it every day, its hard to find time! Hopefully next week I can get back on track as we are supposed to be moving in tomorrow!

On the days I have used the belt I have felt an improvement and I can see a difference, but you definitely need to keep using it otherwise you start to slip back. I am still very impressed with the product.

Rachael runs with her Slendertone System- Abs

Posted by Rachael

I thought I would see how flexible my toning belt was, and whether I felt I got a better workout if I included my belt too, so I wore it running the other day, I have to say there was a big difference!

I felt constrained in the respect that the belt kept my spine very rigid, and a lot of focus went on keeping my stomach muscles strong as I ran, which in turn made me focus on my breathing more as well. I then felt inclined to do a small ab workout on my stability ball afterwards.

I also tried programme 5 with levels 40/42, my stomach is slightly sore this morning, but generally just feels toned.

Richard cranks it even to an even furthur level with Slendertone

Posted by Richard

I had to charge the Slendertone belt yesterday, the battery had done 3 weeks of at least 5 sessions a week since I started. I let the battery completely drain. Its only been 3 weeks and I can tell that my abdominal muscles have got stronger and harder when tensed. I have taken to doing 2 lots of 40 minutes on 85 – 99. I could not have done that at the start when I was doing about 60 for 20 minutes.
