If all you want for Christmas is to lose up to two inches from your waist, then now, with only weeks to go, is the time to invest in a Slendertone Flex. As well as being the only clinically proven toning belt on the market, the Slendertone Flex is discreet, fully portable, and easy to use. Simply wrap the belt around your waist, adjust the settings and you are free to carry on with the housework or catch up on the soaps while your abs are working out! The flex is a favourite of celebrities such as Ulrika Johnson, Liz Hurley, and Melinda Messenger who all used the Slendertone belt to shift that stubborn post-baby weight. The flex is ideal for beginners as well as those who exercise regularly as there are a number of different programmes to suit all levels. The flex smart training system keeps track of progress and automatically advances you to the next level. Using the Slendertone Flex can be more effective than doing sit-ups and stomach crunches, as most people don't do stomach exercises correctly and put unnecessary strain on the neck and back.

With the American presidential election in full swing and 80 Galwegians huffing and puffing their way around New York for the marathon this Sunday, Galway Bay FM in association with the Radisson SAS hotel thought it would be a good idea to send Jimmy Norman Stateside to see what he makes of it all. He will be speaking to Americans on the streets of New York to see what they make of their new (or old) commander-in-chief and how the Croi marathon runners fared out over the 26 miles of the Big Apple. So make sure you join Jimmy Norman's breakfast show next Monday at 7am, for a large helping of Big Apple pie first thing in the morning!
