Toning Belt

Advantages: Tones
Disadvantages: None.

Ive always suffered with a little excess fat on my belly, some may say its puppy fat!

I used it 3 times a week and within the first 2 weeks i noticed a slight change so i continued to use it and im real happy with my body now, my belly ...

Review of Slendertone Gymbody

Expensive but worth it

Advantages: Benefits can be seen, comfy, user friendly
Disadvantages: Pad replacement, cost

...good. My girlfriend puts her slendertone on of an evening when she is relaxing before bed, or whilst doing other exercise, giving this product diversity in its use, and not hindering daily activities for example so it can be worn whilst cooking for example. The display is clear and shows all the information you need, and warns when the batteries get low for example. This product uses 3 pads that 'stick' the belt to your abdomen for the signals to ...
...attached properly or are worn, you are warned of this on the display. The slendertone website offers replacements usually in a deal, for example 3 packets for the price of 2. The wrap around belt is comfortable also. More of a personal review, but definately a recommended product. ...

Review of Slendertone FLEX Ladies

A wonderful product!

Advantages: It really works, great for toning hard to tone areas like lower abs
Disadvantages: very fiddly to set up, takes time to get used to the sensation

...using my Slim Gym, my Rio Arm Toner and my Slendertone Max Belt. I emerge from the mass of straps with a toned and firm body! The intensity control on the Slim Gym, is designed well so that if you turn the machine off on the max intensity setting, when you turn it on again you have to reset the intensity. This saves you from getting a nasty shock that has you jumping in the air and screaming like a banshee, a problem I encountered with earlier models. ...
...me is that you can buy cheap tubs of hair gel for 99p and that these work well as a the much more expensive conductor gel. I've been using hair gel for years with no problem and saving myself a fortune. I bought my last Slim Gym on ebay for £40 a coupe of years ago and its still going strong. I would recommend this product to anyone ...

Review of Rio SLIM GYM

Great product but not without flaws

Advantages: Really works at toning muscles, great incentive to exercise
Disadvantages: sticky pads not sticky enough, intensity control too sensitive, can cause bruising

...this as I own a Rio Slim Gym, that comes with adjustable straps, so I simply use 2 straps on a tight setting to secure the pads in place and this seems to work very well. Anyone not owning a Slim Gym could probably make their own straps out of fabric and velcro, or even just use large rubber bands to hold the pads in place. The second problem is that the intensity control is very easy to knock accidentally with the result that I have, on several ...
...and using my Slendertone and Rio Slim Gym products helped give me the confidence to start exercising. Also the more toned muscle you have the better these products work so they act as an incentive to exercise in my experience. If Rio were to sort out the problem with the intensity control and also included supporting straps with the product I would have given it 5/5. ...

Review of Rio ARM Toner

bring on the bikini!

Advantages: works the muscles, comfortable to wear
Disadvantages: instruction book basic, need to buy replacement pads and batteries

Slendertone Flex Ladies Toning Belt I have seen slendertone products in stores for years but didn't really know much about them. I am not overweight but have what I refer to as 'jelly' just in my lower abs area! This is the side effect of having a baby that four years on I am still left with. Having lost the excess weight some time ago it really is just the 'jelly' that is the problem and not a weight issue! The best way to tone up my abs is stomach ...
...So I looked into slendertone products and discovered that there is a wide and varied range available, some of the products are pretty expensive (£100+) and you can work on your tum, bum, arms etc. I went for the Slendertone Flex ladies belt which is just for your abs, nothing else! It cost me £69.99 and I bought a pack of replacement pads for £11.99 from Boots online. It was free delivery and as they had an advantage card offer on I got almost £10 ...
