Do ab belts really work? How can little electrical impulse thingys make you toned?

Thanks!!!

None of these devices that stimulate muscle can possibly work. They contract the muscle, yes, but you do that yourself thousands of times a day. muscles grow when they are loaded to failure and broken down and rebuilt slightly stronger. To do that you have to introduce a load. Take an arm curl, I can lift a tin of beans 1000 times to no actual benefit in the muscle because it's well capable of lifting that weight, to get the muscle to grow I have to lift something heavy enough that I can only do it about 8 times max.

There are no short cuts!

my opinion, and my sisters is it does work. It would not make a fat person slim by any means but we are quite slim but with flabbier tummies than we would like to have basically because we dont do any exercise that purely focuses on that area. Before holidays in particular we use them religiously for around the recommended time of daily for around 8 weeks. Whilst I do not have a 6 pack (thankfully) there is definately more muscle definition. You can have it on while going somewhere in the car, watching tele etc. you do get used to the sensation - you do actually feel a little shake thing going on.

Everyone has a size pack, the abdominal muscles are used for just about every movement you do. Unless you are a boxer you do not really have to train them much. The six pack is reveiled when the fat on top is removed. The ab belt has little to do with it, no doubt it is using a few more calories but that's about it. if you timmy looks toned then well done you've lost some fat!

"six"

sorry perhaps I should have said I dont have a visible 6 pack. I have obviously lost some fat but the only thing I am doing different is the belt so I believe it must be that that is doing it and therefore does work.

they trim the body but do ****** all for health.those ab may look good but what the point if supplied with blood from an unhealthy heart. so ya look good toned ab but still unhealthy.sooooo wish it did work

If you think they work then they probably will, or at least you'll think you see a difference when you look in the mirror.

However, the only way to really tone any area is to work it. There's no easy method.

I had one of these a while ago, it was faffy to use and really uncomfortable when it was shocking me.

I did get some fun out of it though when my lad stuck it on his arm for a laugh and turned it on no 10 (full power) His arm was all over the place and because of how it was jerking he couldnt get it off. I tried to get it off for him but as soon as I put my hand on it I was either getting shocked or his arm was jerking away. Probably not the most sensible thing to do but the pair of us were in total hysterics at it.

A lady I know was telling me only yesterday that she has found Slendertone very effective in reducing her tummy. I found it hard to believe but she swore it was true.
