FAQ - popular questions about Ab toning belts
Q: What are EMS ab toning belts and how do they work?
A: Electronic Abdominal toning belts are much more than just another piece of exercise
equipment. Electronic Muscle Stimulators (EMS), use the same scientifically proven technology that has been widely used to great effect on physical therapy patients for over twenty years. Ab toning belts as we tested here are a variation of the physical therapy equivalents, popular because they are able to stimulate muscle groups as if they were being exercised. They are
made with gel pads that fit over your abdominal muscles. The ab toning belt sends
a tiny electrical charge through the gel pads to the muscles underneath. These tiny electrical pulses reach all of
your abdominal muscles, and cause them to flex and contract as they would if you were doing traditional crunches or situps.
That means your abdominal muscles can be worked by themselves to become stronger and toned. Ab belts are the quick, safe and convenient alternative to doing hundreds of situps or crunches every day!
Q: Do ab toning belts work?
A: Yes, ab belts really do work! Tests have proven that over 98% of users who tried our winning ab belt, the Flex Belt, experienced positive results and acheived stronger, more toned abdominal muscles!
Q: Do I have to exercise to see results with an ab toner?
A: No, you don’t have to exercise at all to see results! That’s the really great thing
about using an abdominal belt. It doesn’t matter if you exercise
already or not at all, although an ab toner will not burn off fat, only help to build muscle. The ab toning belt makes your abdominal muscles contract
by themselves, so they work out even if you don’t. Toning belts are easy to use and designed to work for all ages,
all fitness levels, at all stages of your life. You can wear
an abdominal belt while you do cardio exercise, watch the kids, do chores,
watch TV or just sit at a desk (just imagine how easy that is!) Thirty minutes
a day is all it takes for your abdominal belt to take your muscles
from flabby to strong, toned and fit. Ab toners are also particularly
suitable to those suffering from sports or other muscle-related injuries,
because they allow the user to gently work the affected muscle area without
risk of straining or tearing it further.
Q: Does it make a difference which ab belt I buy?
A: The only thing that will limit the results you get is the quality of
the abdominal belt you choose! Read our comparison and

Q: Are ab belts suitable for anyone to use?
A: Yes! Anyone other than pregnant women and those fitted with pacemakers can use an ab toning belt and see results with it.
Q: Will using an ab belt help me to lose weight?
A: No, unfortunately just using an ab belt on its own
will not cause you to lose weight or burn fat! Ab toning belts are designed
to do just one thing - flex and contract the abdominal muscles using
micro electrical pulses. Your muscles will grow stronger, but if
you have a layer of fat over them this will remain. To burn fat,
you should look at changing your diet, and taking more exercise.
This is extremely effective when used in conjunction with equipment
like an ab toner.
Q: What does EMS stand for?
A: EMS stands for Electronic Muscle Stimulator, so called because small pulses of electricity are used to stimulate the muscles and make them flex and contract as if you were exercising.
