Disadvantages: No cardio benefit...

= Overview = BODITEK units are by far the most professional looking. And by professional I mean they look like they would be used in a health spa or sports rehab centre.

There are adjustable straps to hold the pads in place and make the unit suitable for almost anyone. What I like most about the whole unit , is that it is portable , ...
...have gained over the last two weeks since using the toner, have far exceeded any of my previous ettempts. within the pack comes a laminated card showing how to apply the pads to all the relevant muscle groups, so it made it easy for me to target the correct areas.
