5 Stars Solution for burning sensation – Great Product
This ab toning system works by electrical stimulation of your muscles. Electricity always takes the path of least resistance (that’s what a short circuit is all about). So, you must be careful to ensure the gel coatings of the pads are consistent without any missing pieces and that the skin under the pads do not have any unhealed cuts, scratches or abrasions.
I found that occasionally I would experience a burning sensation around the edge of one of the pads. The edge of the pads have no gel on them, so if they come into direct contact with your skin they provide a path of lowered resistance for the electrical current. I solved this issue by either working some of the gel coating over the edge of the pad and/or removing and repositioning the belt.
On one occasion I repeatedly experienced a burning sensation under one of the pads no matter what I did. I even replaced the pad with a new one with no effect. So (being the engineer that I am) I inverted the belt so that it was upside down. The left pad was on the right and the right pad on the left. I still experienced the same burning sensation on my right side. So, my burning sensation occurred regardless of whether the left or right pad of the belt was in contact with the skin on the right-side of my abdomen. I removed the belt and inspected that area of my abdomen in a mirror. To my surprise I found a tiny scratch right where I was feeling the burning sensation. An unhealed scratch means a direct path for the electrical current without having to traverse your layers of skin. So, I put some neosporin antibiotic ointment on the scratch and let it heal for two days. When I put the ab toner belt back on two days later the burning sensation was gone.
Just a few lessons learned. Other than the above comments, I have found that the ab toner belt works as advertised and I am extremely pleased with the results I have obtained from using it.Slendertone Men’s System Abs Toning Belt
4 Stars Please with product.
I’ve been using the Slendertone belt for 2 weeks now and I am definitely seeing and feeling a difference in my abs. It’s very easy to use.
5 Stars Wow!
I’ve been using Slendertone Men’s System Ab Toning Belt for a month and a half. Two things A) wish I’d purchased it from Amazon.com instead of their own website where it is more expensive B) don’t know how I ended up with the men’s version, since I’m a fairly slim woman. That aside, I use it twice a day and have lost a little over an inch from my waist. I now wear size 6 jeans instead of 8! I don’t use it passively. As the belt pulses, I contract the muscles it stimulates. I’ve found my abdominal muscles much strengthened, my posture improved. The belt is EASY to use. In the time I’ve had it, I have yet to replace the gel pads, though I ordered extra sets from Amazon so I’ll be ready. I’d recommend this product to anyone!
3 Stars Ab enhancer
I bought the slendertone belt to hopefully gain a six pack. I am 5′11″ and 160 pounds, so i am by no means fat. I am actually in pretty good shape and was looking for an extra kick to hopefully tone my stomache more. After one week of using the slendertone ab system on level 99 everytime the gel pads were burnt out and it actually hurt to turn it on. This resulted in red marks and I did not want to use it anymore. Slendertone would have told me to replace the gel pads but I was under the impression that they last more than one week. I thought it was a good product if you have the money to keep replacing gel pads, but if you dont I would stay away from theis product. I do believe it tones your abs but its not going to help you lose fat!!! High intensity training along with resistance training is the only thing that will do this!
3 Stars Still Trying the product!
Still trying the product! I know it makes your muscles contract and release… As far as the result goes, well I still have to try it everyday (which I have not!) and for at least a month before I can tell you of the result! Hope it works.
How to Get a Six Pack Fast- Cheating Never Felt So Good
Sunday, September 27th, 2009The easy way out, the magic pill, the silver bullet that always seems too good to be true, finally isn’t.
If you’ve heard of the acai berry, you’ve heard of its near magical abilities to “cure the fat.” It’s been plastered across TV, Oprah, magazines, and the list goes on. You’re hard pressed not to hear something about it in the fitness community.
I’ve come across some free acai berry offers I thought you guys and girls might like. The one I was looking at is targeted to guys, but to be fair I tried to find one for my female readers as well.
Top Recommendation for the Guys
Hell, I’m in good shape and I was tempted to get this. Don’t tell anyone I told you this, but you can try and exit this offer and they’ll give you a better deal on shipping.
Top Recommendation for Women
There is a qualification process, but if you pass I think you’ll be happy with the results you’ll get.
Jump on these, supplies are limited and I want you to get the best results possible.
Please note, these aren’t complete solutions for how to get a six pack fast, you should put some effort on diet and exercise, but these will definitely streamline your results.
Until next time.
Six Pack Exercise- The Importance of Speed and Form
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009When it comes to your six pack exercise which is more important, form or speed? I’m sure if you’ve ever been in the weight lifting world you’ve heard some people emphasize slow, measured form, and others emphasize how explosive the lift is. Let’s take a quick look at what each brings to the table.
Lack of form in your six pack exercise means lack of form in your six pack. If you’re popping out crunches or airbikes as fast as you can and not fully contracting the muscles, basically all you’re getting from it is the calorie expenditure.
If you’ve ever done a ton of crunches at once, you either need better form or higher resistance to get that defined six pack.
The primary benefit of speed is that more calories are burned both during and after the exercise. Higher speed, in a sense, can meld your strength training with your aerobic training.
In the end, I’d never recommend sacrificing form for speed though, as the primary function of your six pack exercise is to build up abdominal muscles. If you really want to burn calories there are more efficient ways of doing so.
Do you really have to choose between the two? Well, it’s hard to get both to the max degree as you don’t get the fullest contraction without controlling your breath.
The best approach is to focus on form and control when you’re first starting out to develop the muscle memory. When it feels natural to do your six pack exercise in perfect form you can gradually step up the pace.
If you think you’re sacrificing form for speed, do one set slower, focusing on form, and the next set like normal. If you feel there is a large difference in the impact, get back to basics.
