My progress with Slendertone System Mini so far

Hi there it’s Vicki here. Apologies, I have not blogged in a while as I’ve been so busy with the Christmas festive period coming up. However, I’m still using the Slendertone System Mini and I’ve really noticed the difference since I last posted to you… and my partner has seen a pertier difference in my bum shape! Fab!

I’ve used it for quite a while now and the great thing about Slendertone System Mini is it’s flexibility in using it anywhere and everywhere. I’ve generally used it at home, whilst doing all sorts of domestic duties, like cooking, cleaning, watching TV, reading books and even wrapping the Christmas presents. I’ve also noticed while I’m doing other actvities I don’t think about the Slendertone System Mini being on or feeling uncomfortable in any way. You can basically kill two birds with one stone.

I’ve got used to the skirt as well. I did think it was a bit strange but actually its fine now. The more and more I get used to wearing the Slendertone System mini, the higher the intensity I need to feel I’ve had a workout.

I would not mind using some of the other Slendertone products as well, especially the arm product to tone up a little more. Its quite good because all I need to do is buy the arms accessory/garment, as I have the remote controller gadget already. I might hint to my partner to get me one for Christmas.

Anyway I’ll keep you posted on how I’m getting on soon.

Merry Christmas all and a Happy New Year!

Vicki’s progress with Slendertone System Mini

Tonight will be the third night I’ve used it since the weekend and i plan on using it tomorrow and once more at the weekend.

I was a bit worried about using it tonight as my bottom felt quite bruised from using it last night. I think i put the intensity up too high rather than doing it gradually and it really feels like I’ve been to the gym doing a whole class of squats! The instruction leaflet tells you to gradually increase the intensity and the duration of the sessions but i used the stomach and bottom one together last night for two lots of 20 minutes.

The 1st set of 20mins i had my bum on 54 and my stomach on 54. For the second set of 20mins i put my bum up to 70 and my stomach on 68.
My ribs hurt from it today but at the time i found i got used to it really quickly and if you keep busy round the house you hardly notice it! I didn’t realise the session had finished until about 10mins later!

I love the stomach Slendertone. I think its really easy and comfy to wear and you can disguise it quite well if you want to. Eg: going for a jog you can ware it under a T shirt. However the bottom Slendertone looks very funny on and you definitely wouldn’t leave the house in it! If your going to play netball then fine! But i think if your brave enough to walk round the house with electrodes on your fatty bits anyway they could have come up with a design that rather than cover you up with a skirt make it easy to hide under trousers or shorts. When i took it out of the box for the first time i was surprised to see it was a skirt rather than cycling shorts!

Week 1: Slendertone System Mini – First Look for Vicki

The packaging for the Slendertone Mini was very good. I like all the art work on the box, the product looks high quality and not tacky. When unpacking the Slendertone Mini I was supprise at the size of the skirt. The skirt is a wrap around and there was a lot of fabric. Setting up the Slendertone Mini was very straight forward, I tend to read all set up instructions on most items so I was not confused by the guides. The gel pads are very easy to get in the right place and once the control was charged up I was ready to go.

Having used the Slendertone System belt before I was aware of the variations in power the products could give out. As this product focuses on a different area I was a bit dubious what level I could initially start on.

Once I was up and running it felt very strange at first, I could feel my muscles tense once I moved up to level 35. I started walking around the house and could feel the Slendertone Mini working even more. After the next 5 minutes I decided to sit down and watch TV, I personally felt the product works better standing and using the muscles naturally – i.e walking round the house doing various jobs, i.e cooking.

The first go on the Slendertone Mini didn’t leave me aching but I am sure once I use it more it will have more of an impact.

Vicki tries the Slendertone System Mini to help tone her bottom

Vickie will be blogging her experiences with the System Mini over the next few weeks. Here’s a bit more information about Vickie and her motivations for using the System Mini.

So tell us a bit about yourself?

I am 22 years old and work in a local pharmacy despensing drugs. My diet is relatively healthy and I am quite an active person but feel I do not exercise regulalry enough. I enjoy socialising with my friends and enjoy a glass of red wine.

What is your home and work balance lifestyle like?

Home generally consists of watching the TV/DVD’s mid-week in the evenings, I hope this will be the best opportunity to wear the system mini. I take it in turns cooking dinner each night with my partner so I hope I can use the mini then too. Work is Monday to Friday, 9 till 5 so I doubt I can use the Slendertone during work hours. Weekends usually involve catching up with friends and out of the house. Sundays are usually my day of rest so the Slendertone may be used then too!

Do you have any fitness regime in place at the moment?
Not really. I attend a fitness class at my local leisure centre, it is a step areobics class and often very busy. I usually feel quite happy I have attended the class but after a busy day at work it can be hard to muster the energy. I sometimes go running with my partner, a gentle jog which is quite enjoyable. I try to either attend the fitness class once a week.

What are your key motivations for using system-mini?

After using the Slendertone System I was pleased with the results so I wanted to test the system-mini as it is one area of my body I find hard to tone. The system-mini looks and feels different to the rest of the Slendertone range, as a skirt I am eager to see how it works.

What would you like to get out of the system mini?
A firmer bottom. Some of the exercises at my fitness class focus on this area, I am keen to see the results by using a Slendertone System Mini without painful exercise routines.

Will you be exercising or eating more healthily over the eight week trial?
Yes. My diet is generally very healthy but I will be making an effort not to eat too many treats whilst on the eight week trial.

Do you have other areas you would like to tone?

No, not at the moment.

Do you have any other interesting facts about yourself?
Nothing too exciting I’m affraid. I use too run for my county when I was back at school, apart from that I would just like to look and keep fit.

Slendertone System Mini

Slendertone have recently launched a brand new product, called the System Mini. I know somone who is actually trying it out. She started this week and she is quite excited in seeing whether it has worked for her over the next couple of months in time for Christmas. So far she has been quite postive about it. The System Mini is targeted for woman mainly to get that pert bum.

She plans to use it as instructed, 30 minutes a day for five days a week over the next eight weeks. I think for £60 (for the garment only) its not a really that bad price wise. You can use the same controller for all the Slendertone products.

I’ll keep you posted!

Have any of you tried the brand new Slendertone System Mini?

Slendertone have recently launched a brand new toning body belt to help shape your bottom in the form of a skirt! It’s been designed to keep your bottom uplifted for us woman who have those problem areas. Apparently it works and get you that pert bottom in just eight weeks!

How does it work?

The placement of pads integrated into the skirt design ensures the correct muscles are exercised to create the perfect shape . In a recent trial 81% of subjects agreed that their bottoms felt up-lifted and that their clothes felt looser. They created the skirt to allow you to work out, in comfort.

I’m thinking of trying it? I’m off in holiday in a couple of weeks but I may try it when I get back in time for my Christmas and New Year.

Have any of you tried or are trying out the Slendertone System Mini? It would be great to hear from you and get your views on it please?

Thanks!

Picture below is what the skirt looks like. I copied this from the Official Slendertone Website to give you an idea of what the skirt looks like.
