Michael’s challenge with Slendertone System Abs
I have found that this week has been a real challenge with me Slendertone System Abs.
I’ve got to be disciplined a lot more than I have been but still found time to use it twice. Regular use will result in better, more consistent results which long term is what I am after. I am using the belt at quite a high level for which I am proud of, as someone once said “No pain, no gain”. Over the weekend it is my intention to squeeze a couple of toning belt sessions in along with the Gym and football on Sunday morning.
Will keep you post of future news next week on my slendertone toning belt journey to a trimmer me!!
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.
Week One, Sharon Slendertones with the System Shorts
Hi I’m Sharon. I was interested in checking out the Slendertone System Shorts after talking to a friend who uses it. I’m specifically interested in trying to tone up the bum and thigh area – what girl isn’t, so have started using the System Shorts.
I go to the gym 2 or 3 times a week, but wanted to add to my efforts!
I’ve only been using them for a couple of days, and on a positive note it’s certainly no hardship to spend 30 minutes 5 nights a week, I put them on while I am doing the ironing, or getting dinner ready.
The only complaint at present, as I have not been using them long enough to say that they work, is that they are very difficult to get into, it’s really a two man operation – but I certainly don’t want my husband helping me, so I struggle to position all the pads myself, whilst another gets stuck in the wrong position. I should think you burn a few calories getting them on, so that can’t be a bad thing.
Once you are into them it is not an unpleasant sensation, and as I say it is no inconvenience to fit into your lifestyle.
I will update you all again in a week, and let you know how I am getting on.
Welcome Michael to the Slendertone System Abs
To say I was sceptical would probably be an understatement and the shock of the cold pads my skin for first time made me think; was this really for me?
However a week and half in and I’m starting to see the impact of the Slendertone toning belt, I’ve got slightly more definition, at least that’s what I hope it is.
I’m using the Slendertone belt coupled with going to the gym on the other 2-3 days of the week. Hoping to get into shape ready for what I hope will be a warmer summer than we had last year. I have found it useful when I’ve had spare time waiting for dinner to cook, whilst watching television, almost any spare time when not doing anything could be set aside as ‘Toning Time’ and it can all be over in an episode of Eastenders and you feel better for giving your stomach a work out when perhaps we’ve all been guilty of switching off or putting it off to another day. Like anything you have to put the effort in to get the benefit out and you have to discipline yourself into getting into a routine and for a lot of people that is the hardest part and I’m by no means a shining example but it is only half an hour a day and finding it has been easier some days than others.
I shall keep you posted on future news on my Slendertone toning experience

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.
Almost a week after using Slendertone System Arm
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
Chris
