Hints and tips to help you through the challenge
General Tips
• Take a picture (day 1) front, side and back.
• Keep a diary
• Stay focused and positive
• Eat slowly
• Go for regular brisk walks or jogs
Toning Tips
• Remember, five toning sessions every week for the first six weeks! For maintenance - 3 times a week
• If you miss a day, don’t worry, just be sure to do a session the day after
• Use the highest toning intensity you can - there are 99 levels - the more you push yourself, the better the results you will see! See
the toning intensity table on page 1
• For the best workout, increase the toning every five minutes during a session e.g. first five minutes level 50, last five minutes level
70
• Wipe down your stomach with a towel before each session to remove dead skin and to give the most effective workout
• You can walk and tone with your belt to get a two in work workout, toning + cardio!
• The best location for the pads is, one in the middle over your belly-button, with other pads to the sides between your hip and ribs
• If you are sporty, the best time to do sit-ups is straight after a Slendertone session - this gives even better results!
• It is better that toning sessions be completed before a large meal than after
• Remember to take two rest days each week so that your muscles have time to recover
• Keep a record of your toning intensity to help motivate you to achieve your goals

Get the most out of each Slendertone toning session!
Make sure your muscles are being worked.
Use the highest toning intensity you can (there are 99 levels). The more you push yourself, the better your results will be!
For an even better workout...
Increase toning intensity every five minutes. For example, start at level 50 for the first five minutes. Then, increase to 70 for the last
five minutes. Keep a record of your toning intensity to keep you motivated and achieve your goals.
Remember to change your pads every 4-6 weeks to maintain effectiveness.
Getting results.
Use your Slendertone unit once a day, five days a week, for six weeks. (NOTE: We recommend that you do at least five training
sessions per week to see the best results. You should, however, only do one session per day on a single body area.)
For maintenance, use your Slendertone toner three times a week. If you miss a day, don’t worry. Just be sure to resume your
workout the next day.
Remember to rest two days each week — your muscles need time to recover.
