Niamh’s first week using Slendertone Abs

So I have just finished my first week on the Slendertone Abs system. Being a technophobe, when I opened the box I was a bit daunted by the different parts and thought that it might be a hassle to put together but it’s actually really easy. The only thing I don’t like is having to fit the plastic protective covers to either side of the gooey pads every time I use it, because I don’t want to get any fluff stuck to the gel pads I have to be really precise about this procedure but I’m getting better at it now. Feeling pretty brave I started on Monday with at rate 70 for 20 minutes. I know I should have started at a lower rate but being impatient for flat abs I ran before I could walk and paid for it the next day. On Tuesday my abs ached, when I laughed or sneezed it was agony so I counted Tuesday as one of my rest days. By Wednesday my abs were still sore so I decided to do the routine properly and did a 15 minute stint at rate 30 – this was much milder as my muscles did not contract as powerfully as before. On Thursday and Friday I went up to 20 minutes at a rate of 40 and was able to walk around and do house chores while I wore the belt. Going out with the girls on Friday night I decided to take a day off on Saturday because I wanted to have a couch day. Sunday night doing the ironing I wore the belt for 20 minutes at a rate of 50. It’s too soon to tell the effects of the Slendertone abs belt, my stomach does look flatter but I think because I am making such an effort to fit this fitness regime into my schedule that I am also much more conscious of eating healthily. It is easy enough to fit into your schedule as you can wear the belt while doing your household chores or just watching TV, you just have to remember to keep it powered up from the last time you used it.
