Tim tests a number of abdominal exercise systems, starting with theelectric toning belt.
Tim says: 'This is supposed to work by firing electric charges into your muscles and causing them to contract. I would say it was a complete and utter waste of time. There were no visible benefits, it was embarrassing to use and it changed the pitch of my voice every time it electrocuted me. Maybe the people who sell it would say it takes longer than two weeks to have an effect, but it just feels unnatural to me to have my tummy moving on its own. Unfortunately there is no lazy way to good abs - you just have to go to the gym and do exercise.'
Main Gadget: Slendertone System-Abs = £99.99
The Abs belt helps you get firmer, more toned abdominals. The patented toning technology ensures all of the muscles in the region are toned to give the entire area a full workout. Just one 20 min session with the System-Abs belt is the equivalent of doing 120 crunches! Tim used the Abs-belt for two weeks but did not get the six-pack he was looking for.
