Ab belts?

[ClosingTime]

Just out of curiosity I was wondering how well these work? I already have good abdominal definition and I'm sitting at 180lbs 6% BF, I was wondering if this would be something I could wear while doing I'm doing my regular routine?

I'm open to comments/criticism. Thanks.

Don't stop there. I have a shinny rock I can sell you. I'll give you a deal $49. It will get you ripped if you carry it in your pocket.

I didn't say I was replacing my workouts with it, merely I would wear it WHILE doing my other routines. I wasn't sure if the electrical pulses stimulating the muscle could actually help. The belt is only $8.99; so I'll give you $9.00 flat for that shiny rock of yours?

When I was little, my parents had one of those machines with a big belt that you placed on your lower back as you stood there and the thing vibrated like hell! We just stood there and laughed as the thing jiggled the crap out of you. Wish I had one now just as a novelty!

i have a comb and whenever you brush your hair with it it sends micro-electric-transbobulative waves to trigger your quads to grow...

dude i got a better idea... instead of a ab belt, why not just buy a taser man???? shock the hell outta you're stomach after every rep from a friend or something trust me it'll work better!!! PLUS YOU CAN DEFEND YOURSELF WITH IT AFTER!!! (but you wouldn't need it because the intense workout you get from using it to shock yourself you'll be a tank)

What is an ab belt?

I'm confused...

The belt has definitely helped me shred a few extra pounds. I wear it during my cardio sessions and even sometimes during workouts.

How does it feel if you stand the other way around? Just curious.

It's the cardio & weights...not the belt, K?

Seriously, where else do you wear your belt?? unless your a teenager, where you wear it around your thighs, then it should be on the lower abs. Used to tie your trousers up. This is the only kind of belt I know of.

On a serious note though, ab belts have been linked to weight loss when used with a good strict diet, high activity and a good training programme.

lol how big a part do ab belts play in relation to the good strict diet, high activity and good training program?

About as big a part as that strength towel that you take to every gym session and refuse to wash it because it gives you strength.

I see this guy at my gym who uses the same towel everytime and it's a dark, greenish colour but you can tell that he doesn't wash it because it has the same stains in it every session. Wiping the equipment probably makes it dirtier! Just thought I'd vent at it

Ugh. People at my gym have the chickenleg syndrome and wonder why after spending 2 hours a day, 4 times a week doing upper body & abs, then spending half an hour doing the leg press machine, leg extensions, curls, abductors then finally adductor machines, wonder why their legs arent growing.
