Slendertone Belt

In exercise, the general rule of thumb is no pain – no gain. However, the Flex Belt offers some new technology that stimulates muscles with electric currents to tone and tighten your abs. It is an “FDA cleared medical grade abdominal toning technology for men and women.” The Flex Belt is clinically proven to deliver firmer, stronger and more toned abdominal muscles while you are at home, at work, watching TV, exercising, folding laundry, helping your kids with their homework, taking a walk…..virtually anywhere and anytime.

How It Works

The Flex Belt features three pre-positioned, medical-grade Gel Pads that are designed to cover the central abdominals and the oblique muscles. (This is where most of us typically have excess fat.) The signals from the belt cause the muscles to expand and contract, giving you the sensation generally obtained from sit ups or crunches. The Flex Belt generates deep yet comfortable contractions that effectively target your abs all at once for an effective workout in just 30 minutes.

The uniqueness of this product is that you don’t actually have to do a physical workout. The belt is lightweight and “breathable,” and has different, built in training programs. Or, you can manually adjust the intensity yourself.

Probably one of the most advanced abdominal products around, this innovative method for exercising the stomach muscles is also very easy on the back, and will be a welcome change from those who struggle with or are unable to do sit-ups and crunches. The Flex Belt achieves a very efficient, targeted abdominal workout without the need for any suffering.

What’s good about the Flex Belt

- Flex Belt is convenient, requires the user do nothing and can be used discreetly anywhere at any time.

- You can return the Flex Belt if it doesn’t work for you after 60 days, and comes with a warranty.

- The Flex Belt rechargeable battery unit can be used with the buttocks and arms, however additional equipment is required.

- The product is one of a few, EMS toning devices which have been cleared by the FDA.

What to be careful about the Flex Belt

- The device sells for $200, which can be a little too steep for some dieters. The gel-pad electrodes also need to be replaced after 30 uses, which means you’ll have to shell out another $15 every now and then.

- If your midsection is exceptionally large, the device might not fit you in the first place.

What To Watch Out For with the Slendertone Ab Belt

- Those who should not use the Flex Belt include: individuals with pacemakers or implanted electronic or metallic devices such as defibrillators and stents. As well as diabetics requiring insulin and individuals with cancer.

- If you’re pregnant or you just had a baby. You have to recover for at least a month and half after giving birth (twice that if you went through a Cesarean section). To be sure, see your doctor.

- EMS devices can cause mild skin burns for some individuals.
