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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
