Contour Abs Review

The basic premise of the Contour Abs System is simple: do as little work as possible while getting as large a gain as possible. It may sound difficult to believe, but that is how the creators of the product market it. According to their website, you can wear this product like a belt and it will sculpt your abdominal muscles automatically, eliminating the need for you to do a traditional workout in order to get the same results. This may seem far-fetched at first, but there are some things worth mentioning about this product that paint it in a better light.

Pros of the Contour System

There is evidence to show that the system does indeed work and this is the main pro that the system brings to the table. There are plenty of systems in the online world that are more believable and less effective than the Contour System. The evidence that this system works comes not only from the online testimonials that are available on their website, but independent reviews of the system that have been done by people that have actually purchased the product. To be fair, there are also reviews that are negative by people that have purchased the product, but there are going to always be negative reviews no matter how effective a product is on account of the fact that many people will give up too easily. The positive reviews are the more indicative ones because they show that people can get results from the system if they use it correctly and apply themselves to the task at hand.

For people that have found out the wonders of the Contour Abs System and the fact that it works to reduce your belly size, the ability to utilize it at any point in time is something that they should very much appreciate doing. The Contour is a product that was designed to be effective at reducing your stomach wasteline with maximum usage and for that reason you should have it on when you go to work, when you watch television and when you do anything else. Since the product was essentially designed for that type of use, it is also a pro of the product that you can use it at your maximum convenience. There are no set periods during the day that you have to set aside for working out and that can really help people on the go that are interested in trying to lose some weight.

One final pro that is worth mentioning about this system is that it has the full support of the Food and Drug Administration. One of the major drawbacks of online products is that they often lack that regulatory seal of approval and that means that there is no recourse available to people that feel that they were sold out dishonestly. The seal of approval from the FDA may not guarantee success, but it at least guarantees transparency and accountability and that is something that every customer should be very happy about having on this product.

Cons of the Contour System

There have been warnings put on the market by various watchdog groups that warn against products that are similar to the Contour Abs System. At the time of the review there were none available that specifically mentioned this system, but the fact that there are warnings out there against this general class of product is something that should make people a little wary of purchasing the product outright. Do your research and make sure you are getting a genuine product that works as opposed to a scam product with a generic brand name. If you do this, you should be able to avoid most of the negative fallout that this con suggests.

Another con that is worth mentioning is that the Contour Abs System is not suitable for everyone. There have been problems between the use of this system and people that have hernia problems and indeed there have also been reports by others that have used the system that it has aggravated some of their older injuries. Now, a traditional workout has the chance to do the same thing, but since people are prepared for that eventuality when working out the emotional and psychological impact of sustaining the injury is lessened than it would be in this case. This con is harder to avoid than the previous one and in order for you to minimize its potential impact as much as possible should you decide to purchase the Contour Abs System, make sure that you speak to your doctor beforehand and get their clearance to use it if you have any chronic or acute problems at the current moment in time.

A final con that comes with the Contour Abs System is that it sometimes seems like it is too good to be true. For this reason, there is often a paralyzing psychological effect that can take place when a person starts using the system and then within the first few days does not really see or feel any improvement coming about as a result of its use. This final con is arguably the worst one because it can cause a person to become bitter and stop using the product before it has really had a fair chance to work. In order to avoid this con cramping your style, make sure that you utilize the Contour Abs System in exactly the manner prescribed within the instructions. Do not deviate, even if you are starting to feel down about the initial results.

Conclusion

The main question about this system was the question about whether it works or not and the answer to that question is an emphatic yes. However, sticking with it can be a difficult thing to do and for that reason the system is not the miracle product it claims to be. There is a psychological challenge to overcome here that is arguably as difficult as the physical challenge inherent to working out, so do not for a moment think that the Contour Abs System is something for nothing. It is difficult, but in a different way.

I tried the Contour for a month and I saw no results. Plus, it kills! It made me want to cry and the percentage I had it on was low. It feels like someone is shocking your belly. I toughed it up and kept with it but it was not worth it. I am returning it tomorrow.

I've been using it for three days and not feeling any contractions at all. I'm 5'1" and weight 114, the operator said this in usual for for first week or so. How do I know if it's actually working since I feel nothing at all?

I ordered the belt in January. I was told it would ship in 2 weeks. I called about it 3 time and each time was told it was shipping with in 2 days. I called again on March 2 and it still hasn't shipped. I cancelled the order. I would rather deal with a company that gives me the straight information instead of what I want to hear. It makes me skeptical about the belt itself.

11. loved it

Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 24-02-2010 18:16
I just got my contour belt and have only used it 3 times now but I was wondering if its ok to use it more than once a day? Can I do 2 workouts back to back? I love this thing I think its addicting! I want more! But I thought I better see if anyone knows how much you can use it in a day....

I ordered this product as a trial and when I got it I was already eating right and on a regular workout plan. This product did nothing for me. After 2 weeks I decided it definitely was not worth the money. I saw nothing I wasn't already seeing. I sent it back and now 3 months later, I am getting billed for the $200 I owed and the company says they never got the contour back...after 2 months I threw away my mailing receipts and tracking number so now I have to pay for a product that didn't work for me. BEWARE! If you return it don't throw anything away!!!

"2. Cancer Patient

It says on the instructions not good for cancer patiens or heart problem people. Could someone tell me why as I am in remission and am very interested to try this out."

The reason it is not for cancer patients is that it may stimulate the growth of the cancer cells or mobilize the cancer causing it to metastasize.

Ok yes it may have muscle activity, but what they fail to tell you is she , the 42 year old hasn't done ab work out since finding this product.
A) when was that
B) how tone was she before
C) how long each day does she use it for
This isgood marketing with a product that may have some and emphasize some results, but the reality is they suggest a healthy diet and excercise. So in conclusion don't waste your money if you wont change your eating habits and are willing to do some type of exercise.

17. I Think it will be effective
Written by Lisa, on 21-01-2010 13:40
I bought the Contour Abs about three weeks ago and recieved it quite fast actually. I paid in full and recieved it via post office within two weeks. The customer Service staff was very helpful and I experienced quick responses. I drew out my own workout plan on a calender and use the belt everyday when I get home from work. I do two 55 minute workouts and then a 4 minute session and I think it is very effective. Each week I move the setting for percentage up a few notches until I can handle it and work up each week from there. I undertsnad that I still need to make healthy choices in my diet and I also need to use the gym for cardio and weights, a lot of people don't understand that and think they can just sit and wear this belt and magically have abs, if it were that easy everyone would have abs, common sense. I think it's a great product, I had no defects with my belt, I even have that back assembly and you can take the electrodes off of the pads and place them on any muscle on your body and use it there too so I think the price is reasonable also. I don't see any flaws with this product or even being a scam. Using it for 4 days now and going to the gym everyday, I can tell you it IS working and I can't wait until I see my end result. (I am far from overweight and shoudln't be concerned but I had a pouch and wanted what I saw on T.V. of the other women's abs so I decided this was best for me.) I suggest anyone just buy it and try it out, if you decide it's not for you, you can simply return it for your money back. Understand also that the process will only work as fast as you can handle it. I haven't experienced much soarness but very little, and expect to be spending about a month for little results, two months for good results and three months for great results.

18. Great Product but...

I am a personal trainer and one of my client wanted to try it out so we gave it a go. It works.
But, you need to still eat healthy and exercise. Do cardio and lift weights. Your abs muscle can only be shown if your bodyfat is less then 8 %. Only way to achieve this for overweight people is to eat healthy and exercise.

I ordered the belt, got it in about 3-4wks. One side was over stimulating then it quit working. Keep low on that side. I sent it back and still waiting for my replacement. I ordered a set of gel pads and that took about 6wks to arrive. The ordering process is VERY Slow!!!! So if I could I would order a different product. I first ordered in October 2009 and its now January and I am still waiting to try this belt.

20. Seems to work
Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 09-01-2010 20:14
I just got mine this week and did it 45 minutes on each top and lower abs. It seems to work but can't tell until a couple more months. yeah it's pretty expensive for $200. When you do it, it feels like your squeezing your abs and then releasing it. My sister is about 70 pound over weight and she is using it and I am about 10-15 pound over weight. I don't think this will replace normal workout but some day when your lazy and dont want to work out, this little machine can help out. Right now we both walk/jog and use this machine.
