Cathy’s first week using Slendertone Abs

When I received the slendertone belt I wasn’t entirely convinced at first because I’m not a huge fan of electrocution (reminded me slightly of the TENS machine I used in labour, which was not the best memory…). However, having tried it I have to say I am finding the sensation more enjoyable than I thought I would – it doesn’t hurt at all, and it’s very controllable and it’s quite nice to think that it may be helping me tone up my flabby abs whilst not really expending any effort at all. I particularly like the fact that you can use it anytime – I started off using it whilst watching TV on the sofa, and have graduated to using it last thing at night when I’m reading my book in bed…so very flexible! I also like the fact that you can enjoy a glass of wine at the same time (though I’m not sure that is recommended as part of the healthy diet plan so wouldn’t recommend doing this every time you use it!).

I’m trying to increase the intensity each time I use it – am only up to about 25 at the minute as I am a bit of a wuss but I think you get used to the sensation more and more each time you use it, and it’s nice to think that it’s doing some good. I haven’t yet had the aching feeling the next day so probably need to turn it up another notch (it’s probably struggling to penetrate through my flabby belly to the actual muscle beyond at the moment…good luck to it!!).

So, early days yet, but I’m definitely going to carry on using it this week and increase the intensity more to see if I can start to see a difference.
