Powerball. watch it light up your life and firm up your grip!

Advantages: Easy to store, portable, good fun
Disadvantages: rather noisy after 10,000 rpm

...you. The ‘’all original NSD Powerball’’ proudly claimed to be the worlds most powerful gyro. In case you have never seen one it is about the size of an oversized apple, it comes in just as many fruity colours, from shades of green, blue and glowing amber. But then you may be starting to wonder which fruits come in shades of blue and amber? Get it together King-KONG! There are also some variations known as the neon range which feature bright lights ...
...get the digital counter instead. Overall it is of a reasonable weight not too heavy and well rounded to fit smoothly into the palm of your hand. To assist you with your grip on the ball a black rubber is firmly attached around the ball which itself is made of a hollowed out plastic case with a gyro in the middle. How it works I will be the first to admit that I am no scientist; but I am well placed to let you know that you need not know the ...

Slendertone Abs Toning Belt really works!!

Advantages: No batteries required
Disadvantages: None

I bought this Abs system as an upgrade from the Flex belt I bought a few years ago. This system is such an improvement in the fact that if you are already pretty toned you can go on a programme for maximum strength to really get maximum results. It can be adapted using the strength controls for any type of user, experienced or not. When used whilst doing exercise, for example, walking you can feel it works even more. However, can be used whilst just ...

Abb fab

Advantages: It tones stomach
Disadvantages: Takes getting used too

...does it Work? Slendertone uses Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) toning technology to create strong, deep muscle contractions to tone your body. It simply mimics the body’s natural muscle movements; signals are sent between the pads, switching on the nerves that control your muscles and causing them to contract naturally. EMS technology has been used for over 40 years in hospitals, clinics and physiotherapy practices around the world to strengthen ...
...like the .4 inch. But its better than nothing! Accessories You will need to replace the pads when the little triangle symbol is shown on the digital display. You can order these from the Slendertone website (www.slaendertone.com) but they are cheaper on Amazon at £9.97. ...

The minature turbine!

Advantages: Simple to use, very durable, looks and feels great
Disadvantages: Dont lose the string!

The Powerball 250HZ Blue is one of the most compact, simple, and fun machines I’ve used throughout most of my life. I first saw it when a friend was using it and realised after having a go that it was just so much fun! The Powerball does not only just rotate and spin giving you a good workout, it can record the maximum number of revolutions a minute to give you a personal best to keep aiming to top, to a strength measurer! Learning to use it took ...
...hard and begin rotating. But as you may know, or possibly will know, the ball does require a little bit of technique to hit the high revolutions like spinning it in the right direction at the right time and speed, but all this you work out for yourself through feel, and time. Its hard work and not for the lazy (a bit like me) but don’t give up if your non-normal arm can spin this for a maximum of 10 seconds, you will build up your stamina. A few ...

Useful tool to tone your abs

Advantages: Biggest advantage is ease of use, it's easy to fit into your daily routine.
Disadvantages: Whilst not negative, it is quite a strange sensation. Also need to keep replacing the pads.

...was excited to try the Slendertone ab product as I find traditional stomach exercises quite stressful on my back and neck. I was also looking for a 'quick fix' solution to toning up my abs. One of the biggest benefits is the ease of use of the product, once you have this on you are free to do whatever else you need to. I made this part of my daily 'getting ready for work' routine and had to remind myself some days to give my muscles a rest. After ...
...that it does work - but it must be combined with a broader exercise routine. People expecting miracle results without any other exercise (as I did in the first 4 weeks!) will be disappointed, but if you see it as another piece of equipment in your exercise/gym routine you will pleased. ...
