Advantages: Hope of Inches off the waistline

Disadvantages: Not a substitute for the gym

I have over the years bought at least one of every fad or contraption that in some way says that it is the holy grail of weight loss or toning that requires me to stay at least a comfortable 10 miles from the gym, however, I can honestly say that not one ofthese devices (Even the magical slendertone) has made me into the beach body of Pamerla Anderson. I will have to eat more healthly and do the old fashioned excercise.

The instructions require you to use the Ab system for 20 mins per day for a four week period varying the program and intensity.

The Slendertone pads worn and used as per the instructions produces a gentle contraction of the stomach musscles from an electrical impulse sent through the gel pads which is rather uncomfortable for the first few times the machine is used becomes rather relaxing as your body gets used to the use of the stomach muscles (Which in my case are used sporadically) As no results were seen immediately it was easy to stop using the slendertone toning belt unfortunately for me I will wait for the next fad.

I found that as a size 16 figure with most of my weight carried around the mid section of my body the gel pads were not wide enough to cover all of my additional skin and to get the sensors positioned as per the instruction diagram.

The Slendertone Ab controller and refill system of gel pads make this a very expensive product at approx £100 althought prices vary conciderably from high street chemists such as Boots to internet sites such as Amazon so I would recommend shopping around.

As well as Slendertone products for the Abs you can also find products to tone the Arms, Thighs and Bottom to cover all of the "problem areas"

Summary: Eat well and excercise is the only way to a great body
