Karate Kid’s Slendertone System Abs Progress

A week has gone past already and 5 sessions completed on the Slendertone system-abs. The Slendertone system is easy to use and no problem allowing you to continue any normal chores or sit in front of the telly. I have noticed the contractions appear more intense whilst sitting down rather than standing.

I thought I may have overdone things too soon as I was unwell on Saturday with a light head and stomach pains but I now believe this was a 24-hour bug and not the machine. I started back on the programme so I only had the two rest days as planned. I haven’t noticed any real difference so far but have stepped up to programme 6 that gives a longer and different workout that I have so far found better and more comfortable. The battery lasted for 6 sessions before recharging was required. I am still trying to increase the intensity but haven’t ventured over 50 as yet as the contractions are very strong and causes a little back-ache. I am guessing here that if you already have stronger muscles that the contractions will be stronger and if you have weaker muscles the user will require a higher input to get the same results. Does anyone know if this is the case?

Not sure how long the Slendertone pads might last for as they are very sticky and I have to be careful when peeling them off my skin after a session.

No pain no gain, here’s to the six pack!

Week One: Salsa Chick’s progress with Slendertone Flex Max

I’ve now had the Slendertone Flex Max for over a week and am really enjoying it. I have no idea if it’s doing any good but with the contractions I endure surely it must be!!

I feel quite foolish about my initial entry as I wrote about the intensity being 4/5 and, admittedly not being able to increase it (thinking it was down to the machine itself). Still don’t know if that was the case or if it was user error. Anyway, through using the Slendertone Flex Max for six days out of seven, I’ve got on to Slendertone Programme 4 with an intensity level of about 75 – really feeling it now. J

It’s so easy to use; I come in from work and just put it on whilst I’m cooking dinner (sounds ironic, I know). If there’s a time I can’t quite fit it in, then I put it on whilst travelling in the car (not driving I hasten to add). There really is no excuse for not using it.

Took some measurements so that I will know my before and after for 4-8 weeks time. Fingers crossed…
