Sheila’s first week using Slendertone Abs

Sunday – Set up system and attached pads ready to go, then realised that I hadn’t charged it up! Put it on charge for three house and did first session. Didn’t feel anything.

Monday – Did second session on programme 1 as instructed in the instruction book, but still didn’t feel anything.

Tuesday – Decided to up the ante – and put it on programme 3 – felt a tingling sensation in waves, so guess I need it a bit higher.

Wednesday – Did the higher programme again and increased the strength during the session, could now really feel it. Skin a bit pink afterwards.

Thursday – Had a rest day as felt a slight ache in my stomach muscles

Friday – Really felt it at this session – and am beginning to think it might make a difference.
Have measured myself but no difference in waist yet. However it is having a good phsycological effect in that I am eating less and also doing power walks, so the whole lot combined should definitely have a positive effect!

Saturday – Another rest day as muscles felt sore!

Do you use Slendertone at work?

I used the Slendertone system abs over the weekend a total of 5 days this week. I haven’t noticed anything like when I used it last time. Last time i was doing about 2 hours a day – sitting at my desk is the easiest way it seems.

Do other people use Slendertone at work ?

Getting into a Slendertone routine

I feel fairly ashamed…..having got into quite a routine with my Slendertone, I fell off the Slendertone wagon this week big time.

Can’t quite put my finger on it,but i think part of it is me not being organised and charging up the belt. so when  think, put on the belt….oh but haven’t plugged it in to charge it, that’s when it all falls down

What i need is a proper routine, and have begun to put it into place now…

Motivational ideas for getting into Slendertone

I have been a bit bad and not used the Slendertone System Abs for the last few days.  I managed to get the level back up to 7 – I find 40 minutes a much better work out and the reps are more intense. I feel this is better by far. I am currently at 85 on the power level and I find this quite comfortable and I am aiming to do 80 minutes to make up for being a bit slack. I am not sure it works like this but if anyone has any feedback or motivational ideas that would be great! Thanks!

I’ll let you know I’m getting on with my progress with Slendertone

Richard comes back to Slendertone

I had used a Slendertone previously and have started on level 3 at 70. I am using it at my desk and I can feel my muscles being tensed every 4 or 5 seconds.

Rather than follow the 6 week plan which involves dietary changes and various exercises I have decided to use it daily at work.

My current weight is 13 stone and I am 6’2. I cycle to work about once a week and do quite abit of walking.

I would like to get some definition and lose a bit of weight from my stomach.

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

Why I’ve decided to give Slendertone a go…

I decided to give the Slendertone belt a go because i have been fairly undisciplined about keeping my stomach in shape.
i am very active – I salsa dance, swim and belly dance but am not very good at the gym.  I thought that if I used the Slendertone belt I would be motivated by its success to do more toning exercise.

I would like to think that by the end of my trial, my flabby stomach will be on the way to being a firmer one!

Pippa’s progress with the Slendertone

i’ve not used the belt again for quite a while! I went away to Scotland and my pads completely lost their stickiness. It’s amazing what a difference they actually make, as it was really painful to use the belt, i had to turn it off after 11 minutes of the programme! Annoyingly, being in the middle of nowhere, there were no shops that sold the replacement pads, so another week went by without using the belt!

I am REALLY disappointed by how expensive the pads are! £12.99! Considering how much the belt costs and you would have to by the programmer separately etc (which works out at over £120), to charge that price for 3 bits of sticky rubber, it seems a complete waste of money to use the belt. you would have to have a serious issue against going to the gym or doing your own sit-ups for the length of time it takes to see any effects from the belt itself. how negative of me! but maybe just being realistic for the average Jo!

I will however continue to use the belt – curiosity in Slendertone’s claims pull more than my arguments against it!

Karate Kid max’s up with Slendertone

Still using the Slendertone belt on a regular basis and now on the max power setting 99. I am swapping around on the programmes as number 7 gives a 40 minute work out whereas the others are 30 minutes but the patterns and rhythms change. The battery has lasted well and only just had to recharge it again. Although I thought the pads were wearing they are still okay for now.

I can feel and see a difference and the muscles feel stronger and tighter. I have also just started the “plank” – I have heard of this before but was listening to Chris Evans, good music and chat to drive home to, and he had a guest who said this was the best exercise for abs. so doing that now as well. Only a few more weeks to some sunshine in the Red Sea, weather here is really naff and quite depressing but good for my very green grass.

Karate Kids can feel the difference with Slendertone

I can see and feel a difference now, the muscles are tighter and stronger although perhaps not as visible. I am still using the Slendertone belt and changing around the programmes and upping the level to almost the max. I am still amazed at the reaction each time the “wave” of contraction approaches and how the muscle react. I guess it does get a little addictive to experience the reaction.

I did see, briefly, the new advert on the televison the other day for Slendertone. The karate is going well and Kyusho training, having a stronger abdomen is good to fend off some of the attacks although strong muscles are not always an advantage as they can make some of the techniques more painful. The mind is a powerful tool where visualisation, colours, sounds, yin and yang, time of the day, and stances can all make a big difference to a particular technique. Only a few more weeks to our holiday in the sun and swimming /snorkeling in the Red Sea.
