...range. The I spotted the JML microtone. I purchased mine on special offer in Boots for a proce of £9.99 - bargain. I'm also aware these are availbale in Woolworths although I am near sure their RRP is more around the £20 mark. For such a cheap price compared to other brands I expected some flaws and there certainly were. The adhesive pads in this pack are very small for working on the stomach area, which is what I wihed to focus on although the ...
...All in all the JML Microtone is a good little idea although it lacks in quality and size in comparison to more established brands. For those on a budget looking to tone up, I would recommend giving this try but ultimately other methods such as aerobic activity and sit ups are the ideal way to a toned stomach. Whichever method you ould choose, enjoy your workout! ... Read review

The Beauty works LEAN machine is a really impressive, compact piece of equipment. As well as the four pads, it also comes with four elasticated straps you can use to secure the pads into place, which is great as it allows you to tone up on the go! Over all I have been impressed with the effects of using LEAN Machine as I've been able to tone up with out bulking up. However this particular piece of equipment may not be desired by everyone who wishes ...
...you will probably know The Beauty works LEAN Machine and all other toning machines send electric pulses from the pad to the body which makes the muscles contract in that of a similar to way to they would if you were doing another exerting exercise routine. Some of you may be thinking "Great! Something that sounds incredibly simple that has the same effects as a work out!"

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 ... Read review

...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 ... Read review
