Slendertone System-Abs Abdominal Toning Belt

This is the review I have been looking forward to writing the most. The pinnacle of fitness gimmicks. The machine with the biggest claims but most ambiguous results. Perfect abs, the six pack to die for, this machine will make you more attractive to the opposite sex, you just sit back and let the machine do the work! Ladies and gentleman welcome to the world of the slender tone system abs toning belt, for me the biggest con since smoking was good for you. FUNCTIONALITY The slender tone is a devise that uses EMS (Electronic Muscle Stimulation) to create a contraction in the muscle. In this case, the slender tone takes the form of a belt that ...  Read the complete review

This thing is incredible. I have the previous version - the green one; it cost £80 from Boots. I'd love to get the new one ... and the bum, thighs, arms and any other areas Slendertone chooses to target! The Slendertone system tones your muscles by electrically stimulating them - weird, huh? If you get the whole system you can use the Slendertone 'engine' to power all the different bits, which would reduce the overall cost. As I've only got the Flex abs trainer, I'll stick to describing that. I guess your first question would be: What does it feel like? The answer is - er, like a Slendertone. I can't think of anything else that feels like it! ...  Read the complete review

What is it? The slendertone belt is a fabric belt, with a battery and a little "interface" on the front. The belt also has little metal pegs, which discharge current. The pegs either connect to these pads, or via a special conductive gel, which means that when the pegs discharge, your abs get a little electric shock, causing them to contract. Its this contraction, that repeats over and over which "tones" your abs. What does it feel like? The belt is not painful due to the electric shock so much, is more a sort of painful due to the contraction, rather like a normal sit up is, only slightly more, as its not voluntary. Although the ...  Read the complete review

I've been using the belt for over 6 weeks now and find it does help, i was very skeptical at first, but when i stopped my training for 8 weeks and just started running thought it would be the best time to get a full and proper review of the product. I have found that the latest model is very easy to use and the new feature of being rechargeable is a great idea. The belt i very easy to use, i use it in to work and on the way home, find its the best way and it doesn't interfere with anything i do, just have to make sure to replace the covers straight after. The different levels seem to be fine, but wish the intensity could go higher. I found after 4 /6 weeks of use i went ...  Read the complete review

I've never used an electronic muscle toning system before and the first time I used Slendertone's System Abs I found the sensation very strange, I didn't actually expect to feel it working at all. I soon got used to it and when the 20 minutes was up and the machine beeped I had forgotten all about it. The next day I could already feel a difference, my abs definitely felt as if they'd had a bit of a workout. Before using the Abs belt I had slacked in terms of exercise and diet, so doing this 5 days a week actually seeing a difference really motivated me to get back into my normal routine of regular exercise and healthy eating. System Abs is really easy to use, it takes ...  Read the complete review
