If you are lazy, like me, but want a fit and toned body, you need a slim gym!
I bought one of these after the birth of my first child, it cost £89.99, but I think they are cheaper now.
It comes neatly packed in its own case. You get a control panel, mains adaptor plus ten pads and wires (five pairs). You also get a tube of gel and elastic straps to hold the pads on.
You put the gel on the pads to help conduct the electricity. Then you place the pads on the desired areas of you body which need toning, strapping them on with the elastic. The wires on the pads are then plugged into the control unit and you turn them on. Each pair of pads have their own control switch. Make sure when you start off you use the lowest setting as the electric contractions can be quite strong and really hurt if too high!
You can use any amount of pads, but they must be used in pairs. They can be used for any part of your body and you can also buy extra pads designed for use on your face, for a non-surgical face lift.
The electric contractions work on your muscles the same as doing exercises, but without the effort!
You start off doing about 20 minutes, working up to about an hour once you are used to it. You can also turn the power up to get a stronger workout.
The control panel also has another dial for how far apart the contractions come.
Once you have the Slim Gym on, you can watch TV or read a book. You may find it a little uncomfortable when the contractions come, but you soon get used to it.
I would recommend this product. If you do it daily for two weeks you will soon notice the difference.
The only effort involved in this type of work-out is putting the pads on!
I've had a lot of comments asking if this will have lasting effects. I suppose it is like any other form of exercise, once you stop the muscles WILL deteriorate. I didn't notice them going any quicker than if I'd done any other form of exercise.
