The Slendertone Challenge - A few weeks later...

Following on from last months blog post where I told you all about the Slendertone Challenge I was undertaking, I realise I've been a bit slack in updating you of my progress. And no, before you get excited, there's still no photographic evidence of my wobbly gut (made all the wobblier by tonight's Apple Crumble eating).

I have to say, it's going well. I haven't been as good as I should have and have probably only been managing 3 times a week but after I have used it I can feel that the muscles have been worked which is a good sign! I've had a few moments of complete frustration where I've been convinced that it's not working properly because I couldn't feel it pulsating on one side. This was clearly down to me positioning the pads incorrectly as when I touched the little silver bits with my bare fingers, I knew about it. (Ouch!) Lets just say it was most definitely working. 

I find using the Slendertone quite relaxing although in a way it does remind me of childbirth due to it being quite a similar sensation to the TENS machine I used during labour. I've managed to ramp it up quite far in the intensity stakes which I was quite proud of. I found the higher the intensity, the more productive I felt. I had hoped to progress to using whilst on the Crosstrainer but I haven't got that far yet.

Can I see the results? I don't know really. I can feel it working as my muscles feel more tense the day after but in all honesty, I'm not sure I'll see a visible difference in my abs until I can find my abs under the winter flab so this is what I am trying to work towards right now. I definitely think it will come into its own once I've lost a few lbs as I know that underneath all of this blubber is a six-pack waiting to burst out and show itself to the world a set of very sorry looking abs.

I'm going to keep going with the Slendertone Premium Abs as I do believe that it's going some good! Will report back soon...
