Slendertone Flex Abs Description
By using the latest C.S.I. technology, the
Slendertone
(FLEX Abs) FLEX Abdominal
Training System is a breakthrough in stomach toning. The FLEX Abs
belt has four toning programs, for an effective workout. The FLEX Abs belt
has been ergonomically designed to fit either the male or female figure.
Most importantly, the FLEX belt really works!
|
The FLEX Abs belt targets groups of muscles which are difficult to tone
with conventional exercise. The beauty is that you don't need to place
pads all over your stomach. By using C.S.I. technology the FLEX Abs belt
can stimulate all the abdominal muscles, not just those under the belt.
And because it is a belt, you can fasten it around your waist and get on
with other things while the FLEX Abs tones your stomach.
|
Simply fasten the belt around your waist, press the button and the
exercise begins. To help you get optimum results, the FLEX Abs belts
built-in memory and intelligent control will automatically increase your
exercise levels through 4 programs. It's as simple as that.
C.S.I. technology produces muscle contractions by stimulating the nerves
that control your muscles. It stimulates the nerves where they are most
concentrated enabling all the muscles in the targeted area to be exercised. C.S.I. technology works your muscles harder for you by producing strong and
deep, yet comfortable contractions.

If you can commit to use it daily, it delivers results! June 14,

This is a fantastic product, yes it does work! Be advised
that the replacement gel pads are expensive and not always easily found, and
depending on how carefully you handle them will determine how many uses you
get out of them. The pad placement is slightly awkward and takes some time
to get just right, but once you find the right spots, you'll remember that
next time and not struggle. The gel pads don't place, peel, and replace well
over time, so if you put them on right the first time, they'll wear much
longer. The unit is well designed, quality constructed, and has a
comfortable fit. If you have the commitment to use it daily, you'll see the
results it promises. The flexing/buzzing sensation is easily adjusted by the
intensity, not at all hurtful. Overall, I'm thrilled with this product. You
can FEEL the results no matter what your weight, but to SEE the
results...you need to already to be near your target weight to begin with.
Finally a device that works! February 26, 2006

With so many scams on the market today, it's refreshing to
find a device that does what it says it will do. Make no mistake - this
device requires a commitment from the user, like anything else. But if you
are faithful to it and work a regular schedule, you will see some amazing
results. Keep in mind, this is not a means to lose the fat that may be
covering your abs. This device works the ab muscles, shapes and tones them.
Losing the fat that hides those muscles, is up to you. The pads on the
device last a good, long time and battery usage is reasonable. You will
enjoy this device

The product seems well made, is easy to use, and fits well.
The set up is fairly simple by sticking on the gell pads. The instructions
should be more detailed about pad placement on the belt and on the body. You
need to try a few different placements until you get it right, which is a
small problem because the gel pads are somewhat delicate and do not hold up
well to adhereing and then removing and readhereing to the belt itself. The
gel pads, do however, seem to hold up well from adhereing and removing from
my skin, just peel them off slowly and carefully. I feel a vibrating,
pricking sensation when the belt is working, not really uncomfortable. I
have noticed no shocking or burning sensations as noted with other brand
units and no skin sensativity other than that occurring from having a sticky
pad on my skin for 30 minutes. I had to turn up the intensity to 25 (1-60)
before I could feel any muscle contractions. Again the instructions don't
really mention this. Combined with proper diet and excersize, this product
should provide results as promised.
Decent Results But Expensive... September 9, 2005

I'm sure the #1 question of everyone's mind is: DOES IT
WORK???
Well, let me just say this: Yes and No. You have to be in shape to see those
results. I am 20 pounds overweight, as I try to lose weight. However, when I
look in the mirror and suck my stomach in, I see the ab muscles that I have
never seen before. I am already in my 30th session and I know I will see
more results as time goes on. If you are an average weight and want to see
and strenghten your ab muscles, this should do the trick, because it
STRENGHTENS your ab muscles, it doesn't just paint them on your stomach. So
if you are 100 pounds overweight and expect to see rock-hard abs in a week,
I wouldn't recommend this product. However, if you are trying to lose weight
and/or already in good shape but have weak and underdeveloped abs, you may
consider investing in this. How do I know this? This device sends vibration
to your abs and has levels from 1 to 99, with 1 beaing weakest and 99 being
the most intense. During the first few days, I couldn't handle the
sensations over 50 as I felt like somebody grabbed me by my stomach and
wouldn't let go, but now, I can easily handle vibrations over 85, which
means my abs did become stronger than a month before!
Other things to consider: You will invest $150 into this and possible $15
per month on new pads as they slowly get stretched and deteriorate. With
that type of investment, you can easily joiin a gym membership, if you think
about it.
Bottom Line: A good buy if used properly but expensive considering the
alternatives such as gym, where you can excersise your whole body, as
Selndertone Flex just targets one part of the body.
