Ab Toning Belts

suggestions on muscle tone belts?

I've been watching T.V. lately and i saw a few infomercials, there is the contour ab belt and the flex belt. I was wondering if they really work and which one would be better? also, where would the price range be?

I've seen so many of those "Try it before you buy it" programs on local television where they test those belts. They ended up burning the skin or causing slight cases of electrocution. I too have been a victim of infomercial stupidity when I bought one of those 'aerobic rider' machines from an infomercial back in the 90s and ended up fracturing my tailbone on it. The only thing I don't regret buying from a TV ad was my Total Gym.

But, getting back to the point. It's best to stick with real exercise, not the simulated kind. Nearly any easy exercise can strengthen your abs. Grab a 5 lb weight with both hands directly in front of you, put your legs about shoulder length apart, gently swing that 5 lb weight down between your calves and slightly in back of your legs, then slowly pull that weight back up in front of you again. It's called a "woodchopper" and it works your abs, middle / lower back, butt, and thighs.

Also, in order to have nice abs, you have to consider your diet, too.

You can do that exercise with the weight in front of you or side to side.

There, you did something better than a stupid gadget could ever do. Keep it real.

Does the Flex Belt Really Work?

You can use it at work, around the house, while taking a walk, while exercising, watching TV etc. The results are astonishing - The Flex Belt is proven to work for everyone. In fact - in a clinical trial done with The Flex Belt, 100% of the participants received results in flattening, toning, and strengthening their stomach. The Flex Belt is not a gimmick - it is 100% medical science.

It is the first EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) product of its kind cleared by the FDA as a class II medical device for direct to consumer sales. For consumers who don't have the time to exercise or for those that may have tried to flatten and tone their stomachs through traditional exercise, this product is precisely what they've been looking for. It is also great for people that are in awesome shape and already have a great stomach - it will simply make it more strong and defined.

The intensity goes from level 1-100. With continued use and as you get stronger, you will increase the intensity. If you run the belt on a high intensity, you will feel your stomach muscles sore the next day just like you would after an intense abdominal workout at the gym. This is probably the coolest, most advanced product we have ever reviewed.

The Flex Belt is an innovative, medical-grade technology with the extraordinary ability to sculpt a firmer, stronger and more toned abdominal area without painful, repetitive exercise routines. The makers of Flex Belt are a medical device company headquartered in Galway, Ireland with 40 years expertise designing, manufacturing and marketing EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) devices for medical and consumer use. Their EMS medical devices are used and prescribed in 5000 clinics worldwide. In fact, this is the same technology that physical therapists use for their patients that need certain muscles exercised. The Flexbelt consists of a precisely engineered, ergonomically designed training belt that tones the central abdominal muscles and obliques for the flat stomach or 'six-pack' we all dream of.

The company is so confident in the amazing results achieved with this groundbreaking product that they offer a full 60 money back guarantee. If you use the belt as instructed (once a day, five days a week), you will definitely see results before the 60 days are up - so this is no-lose situation satisfaction guarantee policy.

Here's how it works: The unique construction of the Flex Belt features three pre-positioned, medical-grade Gel Pads, 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, working all the muscles at the same time. When wearing The Flex Belt, you will feel a mild pulsing sensation, followed by some tightening of the abdominal muscles.

The muscles should contract smoothly, hold themselves in a tensed position for a few seconds and gently relax again. It is never uncomfortable - but always apparent. You control how powerful the sensations are with the intensity controller. The intensity goes from level 1-100. Like we said before, there is no chance this thing doesn't work -- If you run the belt on a high intensity, you will feel your stomach muscles sore the next day just like you would after an intense abdominal workout at the gym. The end result is that all the muscles are worked at the same time, and no sit-ups or crunches are needed to get flatter, tighter, more toned abs.

The makers of The Flex Belt guarantee results within weeks of using the system and 100% of users have reported more toned and firmer abs. All that is required is a mere 30 minutes a day, five days a week, to see results. The best part is that this 30-minute exercise doesn't have to be in a gym, and it doesn't have to take any time out of your day. This belt can be worn any time, allowing consumers to tighten their abs during almost any normal activity.

The system is great for people of all lifestyles including casual exercisers, fitness enthusiasts, seniors, new mothers and even people with physical limitations. The belt works for everyone and all should benefit from this simple system. For consumers who don't have the time to exercise or for those that may have tried to flatten and tone their stomachs through traditional exercise, this product is precisely what they've been looking for. It is also great for people that are in awesome shape and already have a great stomach - it will simply make it more strong and defined. Its ability to precisely target the appropriate muscle groups is nothing short of amazing, and has opened the door to a new era in fitness!

Not to mention that for those consumers who may be limited in their ability to perform strenuous exercises like sit-ups or crunches, this ergonomic approach is ideal. Consumers can incorporate this exercise regimen into any part of their day, without having to "drop everything" and suffer through crunches. It is also the perfect solution for new mothers who want to get their tummy back in shape, executives who don't have that long to exercise each day, and even those that are in awesome shape and just want to look better.

This innovative method for exercising the stomach muscles is also very easy on the back, and will be a welcome change from those who have sustained injuries through laborious sit-ups. While the popular expression "no pain, no gain" is still often used by reluctant exercisers, this product achieves a very efficient, targeted abdominal workout without the need for any suffering. We definitely recommend trying the Flex® Belt -- no one is ever disappointed!

The Flex Belt is $199 for one belt - a VERY affordable price for this type of medical grade technology and a guaranteed more attractive stomach. If you order an additional belt for a friend or loved one, you will receive a 25% discount on the second belt.

If you have a friend that you exercise with, we recommend going in together on an order and taking advantage of the $50 discount off the second belt. We like that there are no hidden costs and all orders come with a more than fair 60-day money back return policy. Another awesome benefit is that The Flex Belt comes with a 2-year extended warranty, so you can get your belt replaced should anything happen to it....no questions asked.
