Slendertone Unisex System Abs Toning Belt Review

Slendertone Unisex System Abs Toning Belt
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I know the way these products are advertised make you think that they will make a fat person thin, but they don't. It gave good ab definition, but left the layer of fat until i worked out. It did speed up the process giving better and quicker ab results than I normally do when I only work out after a good winter hibernation. Before I had a little roll by my lower abs that I could never get rid off and now it's gone. It didn't happen overnight, been using it regularly for the past 2 months. Really saw results after 3-4 weeks, but started working out daily after the second week of owning. Ab workouts also felt easier.
Other info you should know that I couldn't find much info on before buying... The gel pads (I found) do have to be replaced every 35-40 uses. It also really helps to shave the abdominal area where you are using the pads as it improves pad life and effectiveness. I remember someone saying that the charger plug is flimsy; I didn't find it to be flimsy at all. It uses a SATA type connector that you would find on a computer or hard drive.
I would like to find out from anyone if the connector works on the bicep tricep attatchment.

Whether you're a casual exerciser, a senior, a fitness enthusiast, or someone facing physical challenges, the Slendertone System Abs Toning Belt (unisex) can help you build a stronger core foundation. Simply follow the 30-day toning plan for 30 minutes, five times a week to develop your abdominal strength, muscle mass, and power. Discreet, comfortable and easy to use, the Slendertone System slimline belt enables you to build power abs anytime--at home, while working at the office, out the garden, etc.
The rechargeable, handheld System Controller plugs into the toning belt and displays information on toning programs, time and intensity all in the palm of your hand. It features seven toning programs, up to 99 intensity levels, and warm-up and cool-down phases. It's backed by a two-year warranty.
Slendertone uses clinically proven Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology to firm, tone and strengthen your entire midsection. Signals are sent between the pads, engaging the nerves that control your muscles and causing them to contract naturally. It targets not just the muscles you can see, but also the muscles that are more difficult to reach with conventional exercise. The rectus abdominis (abs), obliques (which shape the waist) and the transversus abdominis are all activated. This last is the deepest of the abdominal muscles and wraps around the abdomen like a corset. It is essential for stability in the lower back region and is very difficult to reach with conventional exercise.
Used regularly (as little as 30 minutes a day) in conjunction with a healthy diet and some moderate exercise, you will notice results within four weeks. You can wear the Slendertone System belt when you just don't have time in your hectic schedule to hit the gym or go for a run, or wear it during your workout for added emphasis.

Slendertone Flex Pro Abdominal Muscle Toner Review

Slendertone Flex Pro Abdominal Muscle Toner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a lifetime athlete who in recent years has gotten too busy for doing sports every day as I have in the past, this is a good addition to my various methods of dealing with the change in lifestyle.
I used to go cycling every day and do other outdoor sports on occassion, but my move to NYC five years ago and into corporate America has turned me into your typical weekend warrior. Just as the atrophy of office life was what first turned me into a serious athlete when I was 20, I am inspired at 41 to once again try new things to keep myself in shape--and enjoying it. Most recently these new things include an indoor trainer that I can use with my roadbike to pedal out the miles on weekday evenings, and this belt to work those muscles that cycling does not.
No real CON, but a few points I want to make:
I'm actually taking a star away for the instructions; you pretty much have to figure out how you want to incorporate this thing into your physical training on your own. For the price, they could include an adaquate training guide written by an expert. Perhaps someone at Amazon could suggest a relevant book.
The lack of adaquate instructions caused me to do the couch potato mistake of using the belt while slouched on the sofa in front of the TV and the uneven training gave me a bit of back pain for a week. It wasn't a big deal though.
Perhaps coincidental, but I started pooping like a newborn when I started using this belt.
You should be careful not to overdue it at first unless you already are used to working your abdominal muscles on a regular basis. The suggested levels and use times are a pretty good guide--just don't exceed them.
I was blown away by how much power three AA batteries were able to put out, but maybe it really doesn't take that much power. In any case, the power is more than adaquate.
DO NOT attempt to move the belt while it's turned on because you will literally be in for a shock. It's amazingly strong when the current goes through your fingertips.
BOTTOM LINE: This belt is very effective. My only caviat is that you should look for some kind of guide as to how to use it for maximum effectiveness and without causing yourself undue discomfort or pain.

Slendertone Flex Pro Arms Muscle Training System Review

Slendertone Flex Pro Arms Muscle Training System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Purchased this product a few days ago and used it for the first time two days ago. I am a long time fan/user of electronic muscle stim as a supplement to my regular workouts, and this product made my arms incredibly sore in the way that lets me know the muscles received a great stimulation. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to add to their routine. A recent article in the Wall Street journal talked about how stim will NOT make you toned but it will make your muscles stronger. I use this product along with a regular gym routine to train my bi's and tri's.
EDIT - April 2010 - have had this product for 4 months now and wanted to amend my review. The little metal clips where the power pack attaches to the arm unit are a bit flimsy. Mine have come out about 3 times and I was lucky enough to find them and put them back into their sockets. I had to use pliers to force it back in. For a $100 item this should not be the case, I still use it and it works - but I would change my review to 4 stars based on this annoyance.

rub your skin down with it to. May take a few minutes for

Slendertone Men's System Abs Toning Belt Review

Slendertone Men's System Abs Toning Belt
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you notice almost all of the negative reviews for these type products are from people who have NOT used the product. I am am exercise physiologist and I know the products work - as long as your expectations are reasonable. They will strengthen your abdominal muscles and obliques - they will NOT trim the fat from your waist.
A single charge of the batteries lasts for 20-30 sessions. In three months of use 5 days a week, I have charges mine 3 times.
The stimulation is intense at high levels. The thicker your abdominal fat pad the lower the intensity of the stimulation will be for you. I am currently out of shape and have about a 1" abdominal fat pad - 75 is pretty intense.
SECRET - The gel pads do wear out in about one month - but, if you will do the following they will last at least three months and still be in good shape. Make sure you put the plastic covers back on the pads immediately after use. Before each use, wet your fingers with warm water and wet the gel surface - this will maintain the water level in the gel for months of use.
Use the belt. It will not work on the shelf. It takes at least 30-60 days to begin to see (feel) the results. If you use it the abs will come.
If you really want to SEE the newly developing abs, you MUST loose the fat. Stick to a healthy diet with portion control.
My only complaint is with the connection between the control unit and the belt. It is flimsy and I expect it to break too soon. I often get screen error I think are related to this connection. But if I firm up the connection and restart the unit it works like new.

Slendertone Flex Go Abdominal Toning System (Unisex) Review

Slendertone Flex Go Abdominal Toning System (Unisex)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am five feet nine inches tall and weigh about 155 pounds (normally information I don't give out, but I will for this review).My goal the last year or so has been to improve my abdominal strength and definition. I decided to try the Slendertone product to see if it would have a positive effect.
As of March, 2009, I have been using the Slendertone product for about 9 weeks for a total of about 45 sessions. The jury is still out on this product. Before I received Slendertone my abdominal routine included three sets of bicycle crunches three times weekly for a total time commitment of about 45 minutes per week.Switching to Slendertone increased my time commitment by over four times. I do five - 40 minute sessions per week for a total of about 200 minutes per week.
Despite the very large time commitment, I really haven't noticed any better abdominal definition or strength compared with the bicycle crunches I did previously. I will post an update after I devote a few more months to the Slendertone.
Although some claim the Slendertone is "pleasant" and you can do other things as you wear it that is really not true. I really don't feel I'm getting a good workout unless I have the intensity on maximum (100%). It usually takes me about ten to fifteen minutes to work my way up to the maximum intensity. In order to feel somewhat comfortable, I need to be in a semi-reclining position during the contractions. Usually I watch TV as I do the workout. There is no way I would be able to walk around or even sit at a computer at that intensity level.
It is also important to remember that in order to actually "see" abdominal muscles with definition, it requires a thin abdominal fat layer. In fact, everyone has a "six-pack" already. The reason we can't see it on most people is simply because the fat layer is covering it up. So, it's important to also lower your body fat content if you want to actually "see" abdominal muscles. Exercising can "build" abdominal muscles somewhat to help them standout, but lessening abdominal fat is essential.
Some have commented on the wearing out of the pads. I have used the same pads for all 45 sessions over nine weeks. They are still fine. About once a month, I wipe the pads with a cleaner I have for table tennis paddles (SpinMax). It reconditions the pads and makes them sticky again. Wiping down the pads with some type of reconditioner occasionally will lengthen the life. It's also important to cover the pads after each use and "roll" the covers on so it squeezes out any air pockets.I would estimate the pads will last from three to four months with regular use, but I will update this review again when I replace the pads.
Personally, I think intense sessions of bicycle crunches totaling about 45 minutes a week appears to be as effective as this product that requires 200 minutes per week.But I will stick with Slendertone for a while longer and post my future observations.

Sent me a broken piece of equipment did not work right out of the box, tried contacting them both ways given. They have a phone number that automatically puts you on hold when you call, no automated voice that lets you select what you are calling for at all, just the hold music. No one picked up, sat on the phone literally waiting for 45 minutes with no one picking up. I watched an entire tv show waiting for this. Tried emailing them twice with no response, Amazon even responded reminding me that I had sent an email to them but the company did no such thing. All I wanted was an exchange, not even a refund, just so I could get a working belt. This company is completely shady with no customer support at all, never ever buy from them because you will never be able to contact anyone in case something goes wrong.

Slendertone Revive Muscle Conditioner Review

Slendertone Revive Muscle Conditioner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was skeptical at first, wanted to order more than one unit, but couldn't afford to make a mistake with it, so I just decided to check out one first. I must say I'm pretty much surprised and thrilled: this small unit does what has been said it would and, for now, I am really satisfied with it. After two weeks of use I can't say it has already reshaped my body but I honestly can say I see some improvements. I do my "exercises" while working on computer (a lot of such work), so I combine useful and practical assignments. Replacement pads also last longer than I expected (still have the first set, after two weeks and more than 80 hours of work out).
I would recommend it to all, especially to busy women which have no spare time for themselves. You can wear the pads under your cloths and work out while working; only when the program stops, your surrounding will hear some beeps and wonder where they come from.
I'm looking forward for few more weeks to see real improvements. I'll try to update my review then.
