The Flex Belt® vs. CardioTwister™

Many consumers looking to lose weight turn to in-home fitness and exercise equipment to assist them with the challenge. Enter CardioTwister™, a work out device marketed by the CardioTwister Company located in Wallingford, CT. Developed by Brenda DyGraf, the machine is designed to enhance a cardiovascular workout with core muscle strengthening and body sculpting. The machine is made up of a stepping platform that moves up and down, and in and out, and a padded handlebar that twists from side to side working the abs and the oblique muscles.

CardioTwister™, though it can be helpful in the weight loss battle, is only a machine after all. The product is shipped with a meal plan program, workout DVD's and a digital tracking device to indicate progress. There is a 30 return policy in place, and the machine is warrantied for 60 days. The guarantee offers a full refund less shipping and handling charges, and any return costs are absorbed by the consumer.
