Slendertone...What a machine!
Review of Slendertone System Abs Male Toning Belt by
Mr.SB
Advantages: Easy to use, works great, many settings
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive, gel pads lose adhesive quickly
...such a device like the slendertone as i have been told in the past that they do not work for everyone. This was soon changed quickly when my friend bought one and said that it was brilliant. This made me go out and buy one of which i was definately not disappointed! The device is extremely simple to use, with a heart monitor and different settings for more intensities. A simple up and down arrow is utilised for increasing the intensity which you ... ...user. The feeling at first is rather strange, something which can only be described as a slight vibration at the lower intensities until it increases to around 30 which is when you can feel it more as it contracts your abdominal muscles which is easily gotten used to after a few tries.
The greatest thing about this is that as there are 3 settings, one setting for a sit and tone, walk and tone and jog and tone, these settings work in different ways ...

Flat belly anyone?
Review of Slendertone Flex Max Female Toning Belt by
bugsy121
Advantages: Comfortable, discreet, delivers results that can be seen from early use
Disadvantages: Initial purchase cost
...I recently discovered.
The Slendertone Flex Max for women is one of a number of pieces of equipment designed by Slendertone, used for personal body toning. There are a number of pieces available, but I will keep my review strictly limited to the Flex Max (FM) where possible. The FM works on the basis of Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS). In a nutshell this gadget electronically stimulates the abdominal muscles in the same way that they are stimulated ... ...incorrectly. The FM and other Slendertone products are fully medically tested for safety and are compliant with all the usual EU regulations and kite marks. The FM operates 10 different programmes, with new users starting at phase 1 (Introduction) for 3 sessions. The FM cleverly recognises previous use, so is able to remember how many sessions have been completed and at what level ~ this prevents too strong a session being used on weaker muscles, ...

Want to look good from behind?
Review of Slendertone Flex BT Female Toning Shorts by
bugsy121
Advantages: tones the bum&thigh area, fits easily under jeans
Disadvantages: small pads repeatedly curl and stick together
...until I started using the Slendertone Bum and Thigh (BT) shorts. The day after using these shorts I could certainly feel where these muscles were located! I've only had these shorts a few days, but I bought these shorts as an accompaniment to the Flex Max belt, and as promised in my FM review, here are my first impressions of the BT shorts.
For those who aren't aware of Slendertone or the EMS craze, then I will briefly bring you up to speed. EMS ... ...your muscles. As with all Slendertone products, because the unit remembers your sessions and the levels you are at; it is not advisable to share the shorts with anyone else as they could be started at a level that is too high for their muscles.
So now all the technical stuff to one side, it's personal opinion time! Aside from the pad issues to begin with, I'm thoroughly impressed with these shorts. They are both sporty in design and fit, and I am ...

Powerball, fun and good workout
Review of NSD Neon Green Regular Powerball by
pearbo
Advantages: Cheap and fun
Disadvantages: none so far
Well have had this gadget for a few months now and am still using it regularly. Once you have got the hang of starting it, either with your thumb or the string provided, it can be quite an enjoying workout, using it for 10 minutes you will start to feel your arms aching so you know its working.
The powerball requires no batteries and is completely powered by the user. By a rythmical movement of the wrist the internal gyroscope is spun, which can ... ...the world record being about 16000 rpm.
As this is a neon powerball one the interal gyroscope is spinning at about 3000 rpm the internal LEDs start to light up, and every 1000 rpm faster it goes another one lights up. Personally i would recommend buying one which has the display attached to it, which shows your high score amongst other things. This is also very good for motivation, as you are always trying to improve your score. Also if a friend ...
