Why did I buy it?
For my birthday my partner bought me this as a quick fix weight loss program. After just having a baby and pilling on a few pounds and not one for the old exercise! I mentioned this to him, hint hint. It mentioned that you can lose on average 1.4 inches from your waist. Apparently, 100% of users reported firmer, more toned abs and is meant to be 3 X more effective than it's competitor. It said "Firmer, Flatter abs in 8 weeks". I wanted one there and then!
How 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 and rehabilitate muscles. You place the sticky pads on the belt and place the middle pad on top of you belly button and strap the belt on, fastening around the back with velcro.
What does it feel like?
=
When you first turn it on, the feeling may be a little strange as you are at the lowest setting. I was laughing so much that I almost wet myself! I As you increase the intensity, the sensation goes from a mild tingly tickle feel, to a distinct muscle contraction. You can actually see you muscles tensing! The muscles simultaneously contract and then relax similar to the regular muscle contraction experienced during normal exercise. This sensation is powerful enough to recruit all of the muscle fibers in the targeted region, yet comfortable enough to have a conversation while using it. It's not painful just weird at first. Make sure to increase the intensity during your toning session so you always feel the sensation and increase your confidence to go to the highest intensity.
Results
I did notice that my stomach muscles seemed tighter after two weeks. Not bad for just sitting infrint of the telly! However, I think to get the full effect it needs to be used every night on a fairly high setting. I haven't lost 1.4 inches around my waist, more 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.
