electronic muscle toner - slim gym

hgam1

My hubby surprised me with one of this some days ago and am a bit sceptical. Has anyone on here ever tried/used it? Just want to know if it works for real. it's got pads with electric connections, which you place on different parts of your body and it gives this massaging effect just like a power plate.
I'll really appreciate comments. Thanks in advance.

I've never used one. The idea makes sense as far as toning goes. It basically passes a mild current through the muscle causing it to contract over and over.

I don't think it would be of much use for muscle building though. You need to tear down muscle fiber in order to build new fibers and although I'm not 100% positive; I beleive the muscle would need to be under a load to cause the kind of micro damage that is required to build new muscle.
