Ab Belts
Increasingly, Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) ab toning devices such as the Flex Belt, Contour Abs, Sport Elec, Abgymnic, Slendertone and so on, are bought by busy people who just want to improve the conditioning of their muscles, typically their abdominal muscle group, from the comfort and privacy of their own homes, without having to spend hours working out in the gym.
Thanks to advances in technology, ab toning belts that utilise EMS like contour abs are discreet, easy to use and very lightweight and portable – they can be worn anywhere pretty much while the wearer carries on with daily life.
Why would YOU use an ab belt or other EMS device like the contour abs? There are three main reasons why you would use an EMS ab belt:
1: To enhance muscle growth/size to improve the appearance of your body without doing hours of painful exercise.
2: To stimulate muscle growth even during downtime from an existing exercise plan
3: Relief from back pain and muscular discomforts which occur, by simply building a stronger core midsection
It is realistic that all three objectives can be acheived with a good quality ab belt, with no great effort on your part.
The problem is that some ab belt manufacturers like contour abs are claiming that their product will actually make you lose weight – this is simply not the case and is a lie!
EMS technology CAN and DOES help to build the abdominal muscles, but it cannot help to remove the layer of body fat that may be covering them up!
Good quality electronic ab belts such as the Flex Belt have 2 outlets or ‘channels’ which have pads attached that will stimulate your adbominal muscles without the need for you to do situps and crunches for hours on end.
With that said, if you have body fat covering your ab muscles (and most of us do) then you will need to burn this off with traditional cardio exercise such as walking, jogging and eating less fatty foods if you actually want to see the benefits that the contour ab belt is giving you.
Many people assume incorrectly that if they can’t see their ab muscles, then their flex or contour ab belt is not working properly – this is not the case! Your abdominal muscles will grow and strengthen, benefits that you will feel, even if you can’t see them!
Choose the best quality ab belt that you can afford, and you will get good results and feel your abs tone up and strengthen and contour. If you can cut your body fat, then everyone else will notice the improvements too!
We recommend the Flex Belt ab toner over the contour abs. Read our comparison of leading ab belts for more information.
