Advantages: Somewhere in a gym to sleep...

Disadvantages: Don't work and can be dangerous

Apologies to those people who think they are getting toned by using toning tables but it's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard in my life!! I used to work in a health spa that had a room full of these tables and I can honestly say I never saw a trim client who used these who did not do lots of proper toning exercises as well. The women (I'm saying women because at the spa I worked at they were the only ones to use these tables) who only used these and claimed to be dieting never looked more toned.

I once broached this with the owner and she insisted I start using them every day to experience first hand how "toning" they were. So a couple of months and many wasted hours later I confirmed to her again they were a load of hooey!

How, I ask you, is laying down (some people even fell asleep on ours) and not using the muscles at all going to tone you up??? In fact I would say for some people they could be downright dangerous, if they take a joint beyond it's range without the support of the muscles (I don't care what people say, the muscles just aren't active on these tables) it's just stretching the ligaments and could easily lead to hypermobility.

A complete waste of time, you use more muscles lifting a cream cake to your mouth!!

Summary: If it's toned muscles you're after use the time doing toning exercises
