Everyday life has become radically different for most of us over the past few weeks. Many of us are getting used to different ways of working, spending more time (if not all our time) at home and to the concept of social distancing. However, amongst all these changes, something that remains as true as it has ever been – if not ever more so given the current situation - is the importance of exercise for your health and well-being! You may be finding it difficult to fit exercise into your new routine, so we’ve compiled a list of ways to fit toning your core into your new daily life!

2. Tone While ExercisingWe should all be aiming to fit 30 minutes of exercise into our day. If you can get out for a 30-minute walk, this would be a great way to give yourself a boost of energy when feeling sluggish – but make sure you adhere to social distancing guidelines! If you can’t get out for a walk, why not try a home workout? Transform your home into a gym without any expense! Search online for home workouts and you’ll find workouts to suits every fitness level, from beginners right through to experts! Top tip: our ab toning belts can also be worn while doing crunches and cardio to supercharge the results of your home workout!
3. Tone While Entertaining the KidsTrying to keep the kids entertained all day is a job in itself! When looking after the little munchkins it can be difficult to find time to fit in a workout for yourself. That’s where Slendertone comes in! Our ab toning belts are slim and discreet, which makes them perfect for wearing while keeping the kids entertained! Whether you’re playing in the garden, getting creative with arts and crafts, baking or playing board games, it’s easy to pop on a Slendertone ab toning belt while keeping the kids occupied. Simply put on the belt, turn up the intensity, and carry on as normal to strengthen your core between workouts!
4. Tone While Doing HouseworkHousework – does it ever end? There always seems to be another basket of laundry to fold, another carpet to be vacuumed, or another dish to be washed. If you’ve found yourself having more time at home lately, you may even start tackling the chores you’ve been putting on the long finger. Maybe it’s finally time to clear out your closet or organise the pantry? We understand it can be difficult to keep on top of it all as well as finding the motivation to exercise. So, on days where housework uses up all your energy, we suggest wearing your toning belt to help maintain your core and keep it strong! Pop on your ab belt while doing housework and before you know it, you’ll have completed a toning session, helping you reach your goals faster!
5. Tone at your deskOne of the biggest changes many of us are adjusting to is working from home. It can be difficult to develop a routine when working from home, but it’s important to ensure you work at a desk/table and stick to your usual start, lunch and end times. Something new to try while working from home is toning at your desk! It couldn’t be easier, simply pop on your ab belt, select your toning programme and let Slendertone work your core while you reply to emails, catch up on admin, or partake in virtual meetings! Top tip: dedicate a time to use your ab belt while working, maybe first thing in the morning, or 30 minutes before lunch? Whatever works best for you! Allocating a time for toning ensures you’ll never miss a session… and maximise the benefits of those conference calls!
6. Toning While RelaxingHere at Slendertone, we’re all about wellness, and relaxing is an important part of wellness. It has never been more important to make time for yourself and practice self-care. After a day spent cooking, entertaining the kids, cleaning the house, working, or all of the above, it’s important that you take time to relax. This may involve chilling on the couch, watching TV, catching up with friends over the phone or getting lost in a good book – whichever you feel like! Have you ever thought about letting Slendertone work your abs while relaxing? Now you have! Simply pop on your ab toning belt, clear your mind and enjoy your evening.
