Antelope Club is a Slendertone for full-body workouts
German startup Antelope Club is looking to make fitness training more effective with its new electrical muscle stimulation suit. It's essentially a giant Slendertone that will work on more than just your abs, ideally getting you fitter and happier much faster. The company has built a t-shirt with stimulators on the stomach, pectorals and biceps, while a pair of accompanying shorts will help your quads. Additionally, calf simulators can be hooked up to a separate battery to help tone your lower legs.
Confessions of an ab-toning addict
I always thought that those as seen on TV-style ab-toning belts were a con, with only the most credulous of fools being taken in by them. "That's not a way to get fitter," scoffed my internal monologue, "it's a bunch of hocus-pocus and flim-flam." When Slendertone launched Connect, a smartphone-orientated reinvention of the technology, it seemed like the ideal time to torpedo the concept once and for all. Except I can't, because I'm increasingly certain that my thinner, flatter stomach is down to wearing this and using it each day. In fact, I've gone from being the archetypal doubter to being a stone-cold convert, maybe even an addict.
