anyone used a slendertone machine?

[hellymelly]

just been looking at the slendertone tummy toning things.My tummy is not looking too great after two c-sections and too much cake.I am eating sensibly and trying to do a bit more exercise,but I wondered if one of these would help too.Do they work? The only gadget I've ever bought was a home epilator when they first came out.(Lordy,never again)So don't want to splash cash on something useless.So anyones experience would be helpful!

I'm not usre if they work or not. I have one and you can definately feel the muscle contracting. It can be quite painfull if you have it too high.

I used it after having dd1 but I was also doing exercise dvds, walking, swimming and yoga. Something worked, but I don't know if it was just the normal exercise or the combination of both.

You never get that burn the nest day with it though, no matter how long you use it, which sugests it is not as good as traditional exercise. And it doesn't burn any extra calories like traditional ab exercises do.

The plank and the side plank are reallly effective and quick too.

What are the plank and the side plank?

The plank and the side plank. The the bicycle is meant to be really effective too.

Bumping this as I have a Slendertone after my c section. It's not getting rid of the overhang and unless you really turn it up you don't feel the burn the next day.

Having said that, I only do 3 days in a trot then fall out of the habit. If I used it religiously then maybe the effects would show better.

In the meantime what are those plank and side plank exercises?

Oh thanks! that was kind of you.Don't know much about this sort of thing.Was fit and thin pre babies as I cycled everywhere,now I live in a rural area and don't cycle so I do need to do a lot more exercise than I have been doing.
