The Slendertone Flex Ab Belt is the first abdominal toning product to receive FDA clearance.
It uses electro-muscle stimulation to firm and tone your abdominal muscles. Unlike other ab belts that have made similar claims to firm your abs, the Slendertone Flex Ab Belt works out your entire abdominal region, not just the muscles under the pads, and can be programmed for different levels of workout intensity.
Four progressive exercise programs are available, including advanced programs that have warm-up and warm-down phases.
This is the Slendertone Flex Abdominal Training System For Men

Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you're a casual exerciser, a senior, a fitness enthusiast, or someone facing physical challenges,
The Slendertone Flex Abdominal Toning Belt for Men can help you build a stronger core foundation, add variety to your workouts, or enhance your training regimen.
The Slendertone Flex system includes the belt, controller with four programs, three AAA batteries, three GelPads, travel pouch, and instruction manual. This belt fits waist sizes 27 to 47 inches.

Slendertone uses clinically proven, patent-pending C.S.I. (Concentrated Slendertone Innervation) technology to firm, tone and strengthen your entire midsection with patented medical-grade muscle stimulation technology.
The unique construction of the Slendertone Flex features three pre-positioned, medical-grade GelPads, covering the central abdominal muscles and external obliques.
Signals from the belt reach out to nerves where they are most concentrated.
These nerves branch out to reach all the abdominal muscles (not just those under the pads) causing them to relax and contract naturally, exercising all the muscles at the same time.

Used regularly (as little as 30 minutes a day) in conjunction with a healthy diet and some moderate exercise, you will notice results within 8 weeks.
You can wear the Slendertone Flex when you just don't have time in your hectic schedule to hit the gym or go for a run, or wear it during your workout for added emphasis.

Slendertone good!4
This product works really well at strengthening the lower abdominal muscles.
Note: I say Strengthening! This is really not for losing weight.
This is useful if you already have a flattish stomach and want to get the last bit of fat off and tone up.
I have had one of these in the past so I knew what I was buying and would recommend it to anyone who is already working out and and needs a little something extra to get rid of that last stubborn bump of fat on your stomach.

The gels last a long time if you look after them, you can revive them by smearing a little tap water over them with your fingers before you use them.
Battery life is surprisingly good, I've used it every day for the last 3 weeks and haven't had to change them yet. My wife has been using it every day too, as well.

Shop around and make sure you get a good price though!

Usually ships in 3 to 5 days
Ships from and sold by Amazon.com

This set has a maximum weight of 45 lbs per hand.
It replaces 9 pair or 18 fixed dumbbells that would have a combined weight of 450 lbs.

Product Details

Features

  • Pair of adjustable dumbbell weights for efficient, cost-effective strength training
  • Adjusts from 5 to 45 pounds in 5-pound increments (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 pounds)
  • Selector pin lets you change weights easily, just like with weight stack at the gym
  • More compact and balanced than traditional dumbbells; padded handle for wrist protection
  • Offers maximum weight of 45 pounds per hand; limited 10-year warranty
Amazon.com Product Description
The only dumbbell system that can expand to meet your strength needs, PowerBlock dumbbells are the most versatile and effective exercise tool ever developed for strength training. PowerBlocks work intuitively.
Rather than requiring you to buy a room full of dumbbells, PowerBlocks act just like a weight stack at the gym, with a weight handle that fits inside the first weight, which fits inside the second, which fits inside the third, etc.
When you want to change weights, you simply move the weight selector pin into the appropriate slot and you're set.
As you lift the core, all the weights above the selector pin are lifted at the same time, turning your 3-pound dumbbell into a 6-pound dumbbell, or your 6-pound dumbbell into a 12-pound dumbbell. Not only is the system remarkably easy to use, but it's also cost- and space-efficient, as a single pair of dumbbells can do the work of dozens.

This pair of 45x5 dumbbells, for instance, adjusts from 5 to 45 pounds in 5-pound increments (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 pounds), in effect doing the job of 18 individual weights.
Even better, the weights are more compact and balanced than traditional dumbbells, with a padded handle that protects people with weak wrists. Best of all, the free weights are terrific whether you're trying to build muscle mass, firm and tone your physique, or get rid of unwanted body fat. The adjustable set offers a maximum weight of 45 pounds per hand and carries a limited 10-year warranty.

Customer Reviews
Excellent Product5
I bought the PowerBlock because I did not want to have a bunch of dumbells sitting around my house.
I could not be more pleased.
The PowerBlocks look unusual but I did not notice any difference between the PowerBlock or a set of regular dumbells.
The adjustable pins slow you down a little bit if you're doing some circuit training but that is the only gripe that I have.
Overall, an excellent product at a cheaper price than the competition.

Powerblock Personal Works for me4
Powerblock Personal / Plus

Pros:
Solid, well constructed, quick weight change design.
Selector pin never loosens or requires mid work out tightening like other adjustables.
Although plates shift slightly when in motion I've never worried about the system failing.
10 Year warranty, made in the USA.
Truly portable with no need for a cradle or stand.
Despite other users complaints the Personal Plus handle upgrade works fine for me. The welded plates are so thin you would have to have monster hands for this to be an issue.
If you've ever looked at these on auctions sites or classifieds, they really hold their value.

Cons:
Plates do make a clanging noise when in motion.
Changing plates when you are really fatigued can be a challenge if you don't get the selector pin exactly straight.
Don't expect a fancy work out DVD or exercise chart, you just get a black and white instruction manual. I suggest the laminated posters.
Putting your hand into a rectangular box does take some getting used to.

Get the job done and a good value4
These powerblocks work as advertised. I preferred the bowflex adjustable dumbells due to the way their adjustment mechanisms work, but they were considerably more expensive and require the use of a base. These powerblocks work well overal and seem to be very well constructed. The magnetic pin mechanism works well, although sometimes it seems awkward inserting them, especially when the insert location is near the bottom of the blocks.
Once the pins are inserted, the blocks are very reliable and stable. I've never experienced dropped or partially connected weights, which is something that can occur on the similarly priced weider adjustable dumbells.
