Kerry’s third week using Slendertone Abs

After 3 weeks of using the Slendertone Abs belt, it has become like second nature to me. I use it 5 days a week and usually wear it when I’m busy doing something else, like cooking dinner or getting ready for work in the morning. I feel like it is really working, my stomach feels stronger and it looks tighter and more defined. I wouldn’t say that I now have a six pack but there are definitely lines appearing that weren’t there before! I haven’t used the Slendertone belt to replace any of my normal routine, I still run twice a week and swim once a week as well as do numerous crunches and lightweights. However in the past I’ve struggled to keep my tummy toned and using the abs belt 5x a week as an addition to my exercise routine is helping me to achieve the toned torso I’ve been longing for.

Sophia’s second week using Slendertone Abs

Using it for the first time was weird- I wasn’t sure I had put it on correctly because it felt like it was buzzing more on one side of me than the other. I spoke to a friend who has one and she said that it was normal, you just had to get used to it. I couldn’t manage much more that 5 minutes with the belt on, and only at level 20, how pathetic!

Denise’s second week using Slendertone Abs

End of second week now and I am still very happy with my Slendertone belt. I have found it very easy to use especially when I know I will be standing for a while eg. Ironing or going for a walk. It is effortless and painless.
I don’t see any major results yet but I believe it will take 4 weeks. and I am certainly looking forward to that. Just the fact I am using it makes me more aware of what I eat. But I’m afraid Easter got in the way and a few nibbles on Easter eggs have not helped.
So here’s hoping for another succusful slendertoning week.

Sheila’s second week using Slendertone Abs

Sunday – Felt like speeding things up a bit so did two sessions to-day one in the morning and one in the evening. Am now upping the speed and can really feel it.

Monday – Had a rest day to-day as it felt a bit painful around my ribs – think I might have overdone it a bit yesterday.

Tuesday – Did my session to-day on quite a high programme, I am getting used to the sensation – my skin was quite red afterwards and a bit itchy – I find the sticky pads a bit yucky.

Wednesday – Am persisting – did another session to-day, but my measurements have not changed. Am also power walking to keep the momentum going.

Thursday – Had a rest day.

Friday – Did a strong session to-day. Am determined to get a smaller waist for my upcoming holiday.

Saturday – Have very achy muscles to-day so had a rest day and a very hot bath which helped with the aches. Still, as they say, no pain, no gain.

Joanna’s second week using Slendertone Abs

Day 1:
I am up to a 25 minute session this week and have increased the intensity to 31 – which is the maximum I’ve tried so far.
At 31, it felt like the Slendertone was doing something at last; making me feel as if I’d been a bit of a wimp last week! I could actually feel my muscles contracting, like it says in the booklet. The 25 minutes passed quickly; gradually began to enjoy the sensation of the stomach muscles contracting. Felt itchy upon removal of belt. Am certain I can notice firmer abdominal muscles.

Day 2:
25 mins at 41 intensity…. Can really feel the right side tingling now; in a way that it hasn’t been as strong throughout. Not sure if my machine is a bit faulty? It’s hard to gauge whether I just couldn’t feel it before because the intensity wasn’t high enough… will keep on trucking!

Day 3: Wow; it really tingled down the right hand side today – took me by surprise! I had it at number 42.
Am – incidentally – quite curious as to how the pads work with the watery gel. Such an interesting substance. Am definitely noticing firmer muscles, particularly down the sides (hmm, are these called ‘lats’?). Quite remarkable; there have NEVER been any there before – well, no defnition at least!

Day 4: Set at 42 again.

Day 5: Rest day

Day 6: Set at 42 for 25 minutes. Today I wore the Slendertone while I was racing around in preparation for going out. Interestingly I noticed that as I moved, the Slendertone seemed to ‘work’ the muscles with different intensities, am presuming that my own movements enhanced the work of the current.
I think that my waist is now more defined than it was. My core muscles are definitely firmer than they were.

Day 7: Rest day.

Shelley’s third week using Slendertone Abs

This week was slightly more of a challenge from a motivational side, I suppose post holiday lull and being back in reality didn’t help. It felt a bit more of a chore then it did the first two weeks but I managed to work it into my commute to and from work and found that helped a lot! I commute from Putney to Slough everyday and I found strapping on my machine when I got in the car on the way home actually weirdly made the traffic not annoy me as much. I hate traffic and find it the biggest waste of time being idle. But having my machine going meant I wasn’t ‘idle’. It was also very rewarding to note that it only took half the journey home to complete my session and I was killing two birds with one stone. By the time I reached home the chores of the day were over and I could out my feet and relax or meet friends. I upped the pulsage gradually to 60 and maintained 30minute sessions.
