Introduction
Abdominal workout belts have long been products that people are
suspicious of. The idea of being able to sit down, work out and still
get great abs is just something that is so far outside the box that one
couldn’t blame most people for not believing it. However, The Flex Belt
is different to a large enough degree that maybe people need to take a
second look at just what can be gained from this type of workout aide. This flex belt review will decide the big question everyone asks: Does the flex belt really work or is it a scam?

Use electrical muscle stimulation to achieve results
The idea of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is one that has been
around for a long time in the field of health science. When someone
undergoes horrendous muscle damage from something like a car crash and
needs to rehabilitate their ability to do basic tasks like walking, EMS
has been used as a major facet of the rehabilitation. Its ability to
stimulate muscle groups is well-known and it is only now that this same
technology is being used to help with the sculpting and toning of
muscles through a natural progression of the same stimulation that was
used to get the muscles working in the first place.
EMS delivered in an impressive way
What makes The Flex Belt such a phenomenon is the fact that the
delivery system is exceptional. The belt is really just a container for
pads that deliver the electrical stimulation directly to the muscles.
This stimulation causes the muscles in your stomach to contract and
release, the same type of movement that would result from you doing an
abdominal crunch. The difference here is that you are not doing
backbreaking exercises on the ground in order to get that muscle
movement and therefore you can get the same results with a lot less pain
involved. We’re conditioned in a society that believes that there is
no gain without pain, but devices like The Flex Belt seem to indicate
that something else can get you the gains that you want.
Statistics to back up the theory
Theory is nice but it needs to work out in practice for a device to
really be considered worthwhile. This is exactly what happens with The
Flex Belt because nearly 100% of the people that used it during the
testing claimed that they would keep using it given the choice. When
asked whether they had experienced gains on the program, an astonishing
100% of the test group answered yes with a further 85% experiencing an
increase in muscle strength and 45% experiencing an increase in muscle
endurance. For any exercise technique or product those results are
absolutely ridiculous to the point of being unheard of.
Final Score
The Flex Belt as a workout device is certainly marketed quite well.
However, the indication seems to be that this is more because of the
amazing results that it gives rather than the fact that there is some
marketing genius behind it selling a poor product but making it look
good. It is at the very least worth a closer look for anyone interested
in a new abdominal workout device.
