Getting back into the Slendertone routine again

Just getting back into the Slendertone routine again. I’m making sure that it is charged up daily so that i can use it when I need to.

I’m not a big measurer or weigher, preferring the trouser test (i.e. if they are tight I am too heavy; if they are not, I am doing well!), but it is beginning to make a difference now I am using it regularly again – I just need to keep it up.

Chris’ progress with Slendertone

Have got a lot more disciplined this week with my Slendertone belt and managed three days in a row. Have also upped the intensity with no ill effects, no funny tastes in the mouth as last reported.

Also, am incorporating more toning exercise at the gym, and today forgot I had taken the belt off, which makes me think that I am “holding my stomach in” as a result of using the belt, and also being more disciplined

Chris starts on the Slendertone System Abs- the beer belly is trying to fight its way back

Ok so I have not posted for a fair few weeks, also not really been using the Slendertone Belt either, been a bit busy moving house and being ill.

Anyway, I found my Slendertone systems abs belt last night unpacking a few things at home, decided that I would have to start using it again. I have noticed that I have been losing shape and muscle tone on my stomach – that’s right the beer belly is trying to fight its way back.

So this morning I have used the system for 2 sessions, both times on programme 6 on setting 60, so quiet a hard session. First session was first thing this morning when having breakfast; second session was when I got to work this morning.

I am still going to the gym, but finding it’s getting really busy, but there is a new gym opening up in my town, so going to check it out soon. Also I have been running a fair amount over the last week. I have a group of friends that have started running each night after work. Will give you an update next week on progress.

Planning to use the belt everyday this week, I am sure there will be some changes, I can feel better muscle tone since this morning!

Chris champions on with Slendertone System Abs

This week I took the Slendertone system abs into work with me, I used it every day apart from Wednesday. I am now doing to programmes a day, starting off with programme 5 on about 55 turning it up during the 30 min session to about 66. Then later in the day I will do programme 7 which is less intense but lasts 40 mins, I generally have the belt on 60 for this session.

I normally give you a quick run down of weight and BMI, but I can this week as the BMI machine I use at my gym is broken, so will update you next week. I hit the gym on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday this week. I have now started to up all the times and weights that I am using, which I did find very hard on Saturday and can still feel the effects today.

Over the weekend I did have a few people comment that I am looking thinner, which is good, when I told people what I am doing they were interested to find out if the belts work, after showing them where I put it and how it works there were comments about the definition that I know have compared to the beer belly I did have. There is still some work to go though. I think I need to loose about a stone before I am at my perfect weight for my height.

Chris notices a visible difference with Slendertone System Abs

So it’s my third week into using the Slendertone System Abs and I am starting to notice a real difference in shape of my abs, definitely getting more defined as I lose weight. I used the BMI machine at the gym again, but on Sunday morning this week, my weight is now at 13st 7lb and my BMI is down to 27. Had a change in my gym routine last week due to work commitments, I went Monday Thursday and Sunday morning, with the week visits being a mix of cardio and weights, but Sunday morning was a pure cardio session.

I am now starting to use the Slendertone toning belt a bit more, generally using it everyday now, either whilst watching TV or doing things around the house. I have now upped the strength level to 66 when I used it yesterday, but have noticed there is less aching after use, maybe I am getting use to it and will have to do 2 session at a time – I will read up on this and see what they say.

Chris Week Three with Slendertone System Abs

They have a BMI machine or Body Mass Index machine at my gym now, so I tried it out on Friday – BMI of 27.5, which for my height is a little over weight, I should be between 20 and 25. But at least I now have another way to gauge how I am doing.

I hit the gym 3 days last week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but since I have hurt my back I have not really been doing to much, but I am now 13 stone 9. I used the belt everyday last week apart from Friday, I am still using programme 6, which is very intense at Level 55 I must say.

I have seen a difference this last week, I have noticed that I am tensing the muscles in my stomach a lot during the day and have had a few comments from friends over the weekend that I look slimmer.

I will do another BMI and weight test on Friday when I got to the gym.

Chris’ progress with Slendertone System Abs

Been using the Slendertone abs for 5 days now, had my first day off yesterday – Slendertone recommend that you use it no more that 5 times a week. I used it Tuesday at work, Wednesday at home, Thursday was a my rest day, Friday at work (I am actually using the belt while I am typing this), I will have a day off on Saturday (off to the Boat Show at ExCel) and probably do a session on Sunday after the gym.

So I started the week using programme number 7, but now have moved to programme 6, which is 30 mins rather than 40, but I have changed the intensity level from 17 up to a more powerful 40.

I have seen a slight improvement in my shape and generally size, I was 41 inches around my stomach at the start of the week, now I am only 39. I have done 2 sessions in the gym this week so far, both cardio sessions, but I will be hitting the gym tonight for a weights session and probably Sunday as well.

See you next week.

Chris starts the Slendertone System Abs Trial for 2008

Started with the Slendertone system today whilst at work, feels a little strange putting it on, and getting a few comments from people, but think they are just interested more than anything. Still very keen to find out what this is all about and what results I can get from it.

I am in for a 40 min session at the moment, with the setting at 17. Lets see what happens.

My main reason for using the Slendertone systems is that I have been recommended it by a friend and it can fit in as part of my fitness programme. I am basically trying to loose around 2 stone in weight to help with my sailing (some of the boats I race on have a Max Crew weight), but also wanted to trim up. I use my local gym 3 or 4 times a week but have not been able to do much work on my abs, with the Slendertone system I can aid what other work I am doing in the gym.

I started back at the gym last week (7th Jan), did 3 sessions last week, 2 cardio and 1 weights.

More later
