Slendertone Unisex Connect Abs App Driven Toning Belt

Product Information

Recently, Slendertone have moved away from having separate products for women and men. Their latest releases are numbered, the higher you go in the number range, the more you get in the way of tech – and are all unisex too, with the separate women’s and men’s belts being slowly removed from the product line. What you get as you move up the number range is an increase in the flexibility of the tech, and extras like sport-mode, where you can exercise (crunches or just your normal cardio routine) and use EMS at the same time. My opinion: If you are not on a tight budget and determined to tighten those abs, then Slendertone belts are worth it. If you are on a smaller budget, or just wanting to give EMS a try and see if it works, then Ab Flex or another relatively unknown brand should work out just fine. Annoyingly, there’s no notification-based facility to send out reminders regarding your daily training. The app can only create a separate Google calendar with reminders, which isn’t really an elegant solution. With Slendertone you get the innovation. This company is pushing forward with R&D, and coming up with new products all the time. The app connected belts are the latest example of this, as are the belts which tie-in with crunches and other workouts. You get a quality item, though you may need to spend a little more replacing the pads (not too frequently, though this does need to be factored in).

Other minor annoyance is that the Connect Abs never automatically connected to my Android phone, even when the app was open and looking for it. I’d have to dive into the Android Bluetooth menu and select it each time, and even then it would take a few seconds before the app connected to the device.Having used the Connect Abs for a few months now, I’ve also found that occasionally it can be a little painful if the pads are placed erroneously. Mainly from the pads towards your obliques, where you can get a mild stabbing pain when the intensity is set particularly high – a bit like the electrocution from a Pavlok device that gives you a small electrocution to try and get you out of bad habits. Pausing and re-adjusting alleviates the issue at least. As a result, the Slendertone Connect Abs doesn’t cover as much of your abdominal muscles compared to the Sixpad, although I didn’t feel like it was providing any less training benefit during testing. The electrical muscle stimulation that triggers the muscular contraction still causes all of your abdominal muscles to work in tandem. If you’re interested in a deeper look at EMS training, have a read of my Sixpad review. You’re supposed to wear these for around twenty minutes, gradually building the intensity just like you would a traditional workout. If you aren’t sure how long you’ve been working out, the LCD display will be a welcome addition on this model as it tells you. A completely personalised training experience to keep you motivated and help you hit your toning targets from 4 weeks The toning belts continually contract and relax your ab muscles, over a period of time. Typical workouts last from 5 minutes to around 30 minutes on some ab belts. It’s quite an effective workout. The science behind Ab Belts

This belt is battery operated and has plenty of options (both programs and intensity levels) to get you started. My opinion is that this belt looks good too. The most common comment theme was one of ‘beaten expectations’ – almost as if half of the buyers were not expecting results, and then happy when they saw them.

These are dominated by Slendertone, though other companies like Homefront and Ab Flex make them too. This section looks at the pros and cons of going with a (cheaper) ‘no-brand’ belt. The ‘copies’ are mostly exactly that. They have used the development work of medical as well as commercial Electric Muscle Stimulation devices to create products. These are then mass produced, and sell at a lower price point. These items can be decent quality (not too much can go wrong after all). Whether they are as good? I’m not so sure.I chose to “strengthen my core”. By keeping tabs on my strength training performance, I could get an indication of whether my abdominal muscles were getting stronger as a result of the Slendertone. All of their products feature modern design and state-of-the-art technology that sends impulses to your muscles! A strong core offers much more than toned abs and a flatter tummy – it helps you run further, jump higher, sit straighter, stand taller and feel amazing. I’ve been training now for over 10 years & it’s no secret that abs are the hardest muscle to obtain. In most scenarios they won’t show at all, unless you’re around the 10% body fat mark. SlenderTone Connect the Dots Our most powerful and app-controlled abs toning belt, uses clinically proven EMS technology to exercise the 4 abdominal muscles giving you firmer, more toned and stronger abs from 4 weeks.

The Connect Abs belt is certainly the most impressive ab toning belt that we’ve tested. I must stress that this won’t be the shortcut to some serious abdominals, you’ll need to put the work in with your nutrition and exercise too. Before you can start the toning process, you need to pair your device to it via bluetooth. If you’ve got an Android or iOS device you’ll find their app on the correct store. After your session is complete, you need to re-attach the protective plastic to the conductive gel pads. This isn’t particularly elegant either, but it does the job. A storage bag is included but it isn’t great quality. Once paired, it’s time to select the intensity of your workout. There are 100 levels of adjustment, which is definitely enough to put you through a vigorous workout. Most ab toning belts have around 20 levels, which means that the Connect Abs device is certainly one for the long-term. I tested another one below with just 15 levels, and after one week I had ‘maxed’ out the intensity and it wasn’t effective.Once you’re paired with the app, you select the intensity of the electrical muscle stimulation by dragging a control slider. A graph shows the intensity of the program – the intensity will fluctuate during a session – and how much time is left. You can turn on uninterrupted mode as well. By default the training will pause if you leave the app or receive a phone call. An ab toning belt isn’t the solution to losing weight, but it’s something that you can start to use once you’ve lost weight. How to use an Ab Toning belt

Huge amount of positive comments (5 Stars) for this budget belt. No replacement pads required, for this battery operated unit. Great price too. I’ll finish off the same way I started… by setting your expectations to a realistic level. Electrical Muscle Stimulation works, that is no longer a debate. What it can’t do is get rid of any layers of fat you have stored between your muscles and skin… for that you’ll need cardio exercise and usually a change in your eating (and / or drinking) habits too. There are 100 levels of intensity to choose from with this belt, with 10 pre-set programs to guide you on your quest for abs. The LCD display is also a great addition, as most belts just have a ‘+’ or a ‘-‘ symbol on a button. I have started with the Slendertone belts for a very good reason – this is the original and dominant brand in the toning belt world. In most other areas there are 3 or more competitors, here Slendertone are the only ‘household name’, with rivals producing one or two products. Slendertone did not become the number one by accident, their equipment is very highly rated and their innovation / ideas are excellent too. You’ll pay a little more (though not massively so) for one of their belts. The balance here is that you get the best quality, service from a long-running company and compatibility with newer controllers and tech as things advance. With extensive clinical trials and 50+ years of expertise, we are constantly perfecting and testing our products so that you can achieve the very best results.programmes which can be used while relaxing, during light activity or exercising, including post-natal tummy toning, essential and advanced core workouts, maintaining fitness and bringing in your waistline for upcoming events. However, like the Sixpad, there’s a caveat. The Slendertone Connect Abs isn’t going to be a shortcut to some serious abdominals unless you’re prepared to put in the work when it comes to diet and nutrition. You’ll need a low enough body fat percentage for your abdominals to show.
