What is an ab stimulator?


healthnut2: An ab stimulator belt is a belt that uses electronic musle stimulation much like the types used for physical therapy. These belts cause your muscles to contract a bit, but if you simply strap it on and expect to see easy results, you will be dissapointed. I rec. using them while exercising – not a bad item to add to your workout routine, but make sure there is one.

Ginny: The ab stimulator belt I saw on an infomercial, the Contour belt? said it was based on EMS, which I guess is electronic muscle stimulation that they use for physical therapy, like if you break yur leg and yo’re getting back in shape they could use this to make your muscles contract and get stronger? so that’s what the belts do, make your muscles contract and it gets them toned and tough! Orat least that what it says…

Carole: An ab stimulator also know as ab stimulator belt is often called abdominal toning belt or simply a toning belt. I think healthnut2 described it pretty well. I have one that i use to try to get my post pregnancy belly back into shape.

SusieintheMorning: An ab stimulator belt as seen on t.v. got me really curious about how they work, and what they are, so I googled it, that’s what you should do to get the whole picture, but basically what one does is stimulate the abdominal muscles by a little electric shock, the muscle jumps, gets stronger, and presto change-o! Tones up your abs and is mostly considered an ab toner machine.

Lexi: an ab stimulator belt is, wait, I know this… an ab stimulator belt is a exercise thing that helps to tone your core and ab muscaes so yo uhave a trimmer waiste. I have never used one but I have seen them on TV and they look cool. as soon as I am ready to diet I am getting one of these.

Hannah: An ab stimulator belt is different than a vibrating ab belt as I understand it is an easy way to get fast results in abdominal toning, you just strap it around your waist and it has little gel packs that transfer a shock to you muscles, VOILA! 6 pack!

Deliadigsdiets: EMS has been used in PT for years, but I have not yet tried and ab stimulator as seen on tv. They look like they contract the muscles and many have different settings but I cannot imagine that an ab toning belt alone would work fast to develop your abs unless you incorporate crunches and traditional core strengthening exercises.

Jessie: The ab stimulator belt as seen on t.v. around 11 at night works by stimulating your abdominal muscles and is supposed to be good for all areas of the belly which God knows I could use.

Jonesy: This ab stimulator belt seems pretty straight forward, gives stomach/ab muscles a jolt so they get stronger, but won’t I still have to diet and exercise other ways to get the look I want? It couldn’t be that simple, could it?

Rashida: as seen on tv products are fun they even have a store at the mall with all those novel things I am excited to try stimulating my abs with a toning belt so I can finally have a firm belly I will let you guys know what I think soon on my blog!

momofhenry: An ab stimulator belt is a device that you put around your waste and looks like a very wide belt. It has electrodes in it that send electronic impulses to your muscles and is really good to use along with regular exercise. The belt is easy to use, but most of the ab belt reviews I’ve read insist that your will only see good results with some added physical activity. I have also found this to be true based on personal use of this product.

CJ: well the ab stimulator as seen on tv seems like a very effective, results-driven product that is fast and easy. i might have to get one..i just have to read the reviews on ab machines and find the best one.

HrRt: You mean like the ab stimulator as seen on tv?

Shirley: The ab stimulator as seen on t.v., a product show I ran across at 10:30 on a Sunday morning, of all things, explained how these ab belts work, we’re all saying pretty much the same thing…ab shockers do just that, give the belly a little Wham, and the muscles respond by getting stronger, I’m just wondering how strong the shock is, wouldn’t it have to be pretty powerful to get any kind of result?

EliseBea: an ab stimulator belt is an awesome way to enhance your workout diet plan. I am as surpised as anyone. BUt I got one a few months ago and while loweing my caloric intake and going for long walks every day I am toning tightening and losing pounds! I feel light and sexy for the first time since college. go me!

arlene: using an ab stimulator belt for contracting my abdominal muscles, works better than doing thousands of crunches or I think even a twister. I read a review cardio twister not sure about that one. I can use a belt while vaccuming or making dinner or watching tv, get a workout while doing chores or relaxing. you do get results but its easy, not having t work so hard for ‘em.

Maisie: So an ab stimulator belt does just what it says, basically, stimulates abdominal muscles so they get stronger, but it’s only part of a whole program we should all be doing, like eating healthy, some or a lot! of cardio, and some weight bearing exercies, the list is long, my friends. The days of ab stimulator as seen on tv are finally over IMHO.
