The Slendertone 6 Week Plan: Week 2
Hello everyone. I've just completed week 2 of the Slendertone 6 Week Plan. Below is a discussion of how I got along. Feedback on the Slendertone System-Abs Belt I found that I was a lot more used to the sensation of using Slendertone System-Abs this week.

This week I increased the intensity to the recommended levels listed below: - Monday (Day 1):- 60. - Tuesday (Day 2):- 50. - Wednesday (Day 3):- 65. - Thursday (Day … [Read more...]

My First Thoughts on Slendertone
Hello everyone. I'm on my fourth day of using Slendertone System-Abs so thought I would post a quick update on my initial thoughts and how I have found it so far. Today I am going to describe setting up the belt for the first time, using the belt for the first time and how it felt after using it for the first time. Setting Slendertone System-Abs Up for First Use After I had unpacked the belt my first task was to charge the power unit for 2-3 hours. Once the power unit was charged I then had to attach the pads that came with the belt. This was done by removing them from their packageing … [Read more...]
