Losing weight is never easy, there are so many products on the market to help with slimming, well being and muscle tone but which is which? Slimming is the process of weight loss, diets, and exercise, while well being is the quality of your life. Muscle tone is the art of looking after you muscles, there are many ways that this can be done, from going to the local community centre to specialised weight training gyms. One option that many people opt for is Slendertone.
Slendertone machines use Electronic Muscle Stimulation(EMS) an electrode is placed on the skin through a water based gel and pad. One pad is placed at the top end of the of the muscle group and another at the bottom. As the signals are sent from one pad to the other this triggers the nerve into thinking your moving so causing deep and comfortable contractions.
The advantage of this is that it also targets the muscle groups that you cannot see, i.e. the transversus abdominals muscle, this muscle helps your stability in lower back region. Slendertone can be used with normal exercise to help increase muscle tone, or on its own as you watch the TV, vacuum the carpet, wash the car or do the gardening the list is endless. After reading the reports on what people have said about it the hardest thing about these machines is getting to know where and how to place the pads, once that was learned it was on in a matter of seconds. The belt fits round your body and has a pocket for the controller.
One major factor to remember is that Slendertone will not help you lose weight, it is only for muscle definition.
