Muscle Stimulation Equipment > ABGymnic Muscle Stimulation Equipment

The Bargain Basement Exercise Belt

Advantages: Cheap, works a little
Disadvantages: Looks cheap, doesn't work very much

Abgymnic is my very first "muscle stimulation equipment", bought because it was available for half-price from play to see what it could do for me, without expecting very much, but at least it didn't expect anything from me! It can be used all over the body, but I mainly focussed on my upper torso, with surprisingly pleasant short term results. Tonage increased pretty quickly, but did not last very long. It is very easy to use. Simply attach the ...
...say) out a little of the gel provided, spread it over the silver patches and then turn it on. This gel seems to have the unique quality of always being cool, no matter what temperature it has been stored at. Of course how much you need depends on how much you use and how often, but replacements can be bought for a very reasonable price on eBay. You can then shift through the gears, although the highest few gears can be pretty intense. Some have ...

Review of ABGymnic 2002

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.

...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. ...

Review of Slendertone Flex

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 ...

Review of Powerball 250Hz Blue Regular

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. ...
