Presentation
The Slendertone System-Abs is an electro-stimulating abdominal belt. It uses the clinically proven electro-muscle stimulation (EMS) system by sending electrical impulses to passively contract and relax your core muscles. In fact, the electrodes send an electrical wave to the nerves that control the muscles in question. EMS technology has been used in hospitals for more than 50 years for the rehabilitation and strengthening of muscle tissue in injured people.
The system is very compact, it is easy to carry and use and you can go about your daily business (household chores, when you watch TV ..) without it bothering you. The device is equipped with an LCD screen giving visual information but also an audio system allowing you to follow your training at any time. The interchangeable gel electrodes supplied with the device have a lifespan of 6-8 weeks. After that, you will have to buy a new box for 15 €. This system is designed for users of all ages and the results are quick. There are no special requirements for the use of the device.
The system guarantees results in a matter of weeks and as many people mention, we have seen a difference in our 6 weeks of use. When combined with normal routines and workouts, it is a powerful tool in your arsenal for keeping your core toned.
Be careful though, this abdominal belt is not a substitute for standard abdominal exercises. Indeed, if you are overweight, it will not allow you to lose the fat accumulated around the belly. It is more of a supplement to tone and shape your abs. So if you are looking for a device to supplement the standard abdominal exercises, Slendertone is certainly a viable option, but by no means will it make you lose belly fat.
Those looking for a way to firm up abs without spending hours at the gym will find this device useful. It is easy to understand, easy to use, requires little storage space, requires little maintenance, and delivers good results. However, to get the chocolate bar you need to do two things: tone your belly muscles and burn enough body fat so that those toned abs can be seen. The Slendertone System-Abs achieves this first goal but not the second. So, if you plan to buckle up and get the famous chocolate bar in 6 weeks, you are definitely going to be disappointed.
As you can see, the market for belts is booming. Slendertone belts currently sell for around 150 € which is expensive since its closest competitor, the
Beurer EM35 is sold at a price of around € 50. In addition to the initial price, the gel electrodes supplied with the belt should be replaced every 6-8 weeks at a cost of € 15 per pack, which is not the case with Beurer belts. So, if you are looking for an inexpensive device to work your abs, don't go for this belt.
