ABFLEX Ab Toning Belt and Ab Stimulator for Slender Toned Stomach Muscles, Remote for Quick and Easy Adjustments

I am a mother of two who had always been quite slim...size 10-12....until I had my second baby and no matter what I did I couldn’t get rid of the “inflatable” mum tum...everytime I ate my tummy would expand to look 5months pregnant again and my muscles were just stretched and weak. My youngest is now almost 5 and I decided enough was enough.....I lost two stone by healthy eating alone no exercise but still I had a weak and expanding tummy so I decide to try this and OMG I’m so glad I did...I just decided one day it’s worth a try and I’m going to treat myself...it has made my stomach so strong...which has a few benefits mainly it’s flatter and a better shape and nowhere near as saggy, it also means the muscles keep everything in even when I eat. Finally it’s also motivated me to exercise more because I have such an amazing core strength now I feel more powerful and able to do lots more. I agree with other posters that it won’t get rid of fat but the more you use it along with exercise the better it will look...I feel like it’s the ab belt that has lost me so many inches because I’m not bloating or stretching out like I used to as the muscles are so strong now. I didn’t buy a slender time because this one had good reviews and was half the price and I love the gel so easy to use and I can buy more on here. I actually really enjoy wearing the belt and sometimes it sends me to sleep it’s so relaxing...I have my favourite settings and the max number I use is 18-20 and Iv still seen so much progress after just two months. I’m just annoyed at myself I didn’t buy something like this sooner as I’ve spent so long being unhappy about my tummy and now I can wear all the things I want to again :)))

Works well but do not turn it up too much, it was so uncomfortable it frightened me. Use with care.

I received my Ab Flex belt a week ago and thought I'd initially wait until after I've fully experimented with it for a few days before reviewing. Firstly, the product arrived much earlier than expected [4 days!] and was extremely well packaged, very secure and well packed. Before arrival I got an e-mail from the vendor thanking me for the purchase and making it clear that if there were any problems when I received the belt they were there to give any assistance necessary. I thought this was a very nice touch indeed.I had been quite dubious about buying the belt as there has been a lot of negative hype about this form of 'passive exercise' not being very efficacious and there was the nagging doubt that I may be wasting my money. My problem - and motivation in purchasing this item - stemmed from having suffered several abdominal injuries several years ago in a freak accident which had resulted in severe tears, ruptures and a central abdominal hernia which had been quite pronounced and had required surgery. This had basically left me with no confidence for a few years when it comes to doing any form of 'core' work. I was constantly terrified of anything that could possibly re-open the wounds. [Basically I was psychologically affected by the incident.] So in a three year period my belly got a lot bigger, my posture became awful, I lost a lot of tone everywhere [ the 'knock on' effects of leaving out core work] and the lack of confidence meant that there was nothing I could do about it.So I [in desperation] though "why not at least give it a go" with regard to the Ab Flex Toning Belt. I can do it just sitting down on a low setting and it will be gentle yadda yadda yadda.....It is frankly fantastic! Although there's barely any sort of visible change [it's only been a week after all] the effects it has already had on my confidence and posture have been outstanding.It is easy to fit with an adjustable belt. and the controls are very easy to use and understand. It comes with a booklet explaining the device and the functions and how to use them.I started with a ten minute warm up on a vey low setting. I basically did ten minutes on very low for each of the ten functions during the first day so I could get the feel of them - find the sensations that felt better for me. I experimented with belt placement [high, central or low] on my abdomen [wearing it low on the 'vibrate' setting really makes me feel the soft paunch that I developed working directly] and even strapped it on backwards so it was on my lower back just above my buttocks and could feel my posture being brought back very quickly! [This is not on the list of things you should do, this was just me experimenting but it worked!]Now, after just one week, I am doing a ten minute 'kneading' warm up followed by twenty minutes of 'toning' and then after a brief rest a full thirty minutes of the 'training' setting. In the evening I repeat.I am standing straighter, walking better, and my abdomen is noticeable firmer than it has been in years and this has seen a slight decrease in my girth not brought about through weight loss but by the muscles actually being used properly again! . This is after one week. To say I'm delighted is an understatement. They say that you begin to notice the change visibly [as in abs being 'etched' out etc.] after about four weeks of daily use so I will be adding a further review in a months time. But this first week has already got my confidence flooding back.I think that we tend to associate this sort of device with those terrible things that were 'the thing' about 20 years ago that simply didn't do much. But this is that technology actually developed.I have been so delighted with how it works that my partner has actually had to tel me off several times for thinking about doing a third workout and constantly wanting to put it back on for 'just another ten minutes, just another half hour' etc.Basically it works. And I am delighted.I WILL review again after one month when the changes should be more visible, and after six months for the longer term effects.ALMOST 4 WEEKS ON ADDITION:Okay this is a few days earlier than I expected to add to my review but I cannot tell you how delighted I am with this. I have lots 2 inches off my waist in a little under a month. Now I should stress that this is not fat burnt off, my weight hasn't changed much and I don't have this suddenly appearing ripped to the bone 6 pack. This is old muscle memory being activated, the muscle remembering what it is supposed to do. Instead of my abs simply sagging and not holding anything in without a lot of effort they have simply firmed up tremendously, my posture has improved dramatically and my midriff is firmer than it has been in years. I haven't got to the point where I'm using it when I do planks yet but with the confidence now soaring I will be by the end of this week! I was very sceptical but now I would not be without this ab-belt. I actually feel like I can now return to doing proper ab workouts [you know how we lie to ourselves about why we avoid them because we know we won't be able to get off our backs after some crunches without looking like a floundering whale? That's gone!] I'm bending down to pick things up off the floor without having to go to one knee! I feel fantastic. To have gone from a 40" waist to a 38" waist for real in less than one month is incredible. And as I say, that's just the tone returning so far not fat burning. I will report back in 6 months to give the long term effects.SIX MONTHS RESULTSOkay, after using the belt for six months here are my results as promised. As stated previously my posture was improved almost immediately allowing my far more flexibility and the ability to actually control my stomach muscles better when simply standing after the hernia problems. My confidence to move and stress the area returned rapidly thanks to this as well as the initial reduction in girth. That initial reduction of 2 inches in the first month has turned into an 8 inch reduction in my waist in six months. This is not entirely down to the belt alone as along with my confidence returning so did my ability to move and take proper exercise, and with that came a tightening of the diet. The belt alone I believe acts best as a 'facilitator' which will tighten and tone and actually allow you to do the movements fully that were previously restricted by slack stomach muscles. It has an almost immediate [first week] affect upon self-confidence as the posture improvements come almost immediately. It also allows [once you reach a strong enough level] some pretty extreme ab workouts i.e. I wear the belt on full whilst performing planks for 7 minutes - unthinkable six months ago when I couldn't even do one minute WITHOUT the belt! But don't be misled by it, this is not a fat burner device. To do that you need to tighten your diet and do actual fat burning exercises. Rather it simply helps to strengthen and tone and works superbly as a tool to assist the efficacy of whatever else you do - and also to prepare your core in an easy way before you start a regime. So with my waist down from 42" to 34" in six months, [I should add that as an ex-bodybuilder there is a certain amount of 'muscle memory' involved here and it is therefore easier for my musculature to return to previous forms than someone who has never trained.] I am utterly UTTERLY delighted at what this belt has allowed me to achieve. I cannot recommend this EXTREMELY SAFE device highly enough. But remember, it is still up to you to do the work, the belt will not do it on its own, but WILL enable you to forge ahead at a grand pace.

Terrible - as other customers describe does work. Mine as soon as you pressed intensity level to start it it just went straight back to zero and never came on. Waste of time.

This is a good product with one slight flaw, it isn't powerful enough. It will definitely work your stomach muscles, but the problem is that it is too comfortable, even on the highest setting. If I put a machine on the maximum setting of 99 then I should expect to feel pretty uncomfortable for a good while until my body gets used to it, but I felt fine from minute 1. On the plus side it is easy to attach, and the 2 AA batteries I used from day one are still going a week later after using it for an hour a day(which I guess proves it is under powered) .I also tried the device that Ronaldo advertises on TV and the AB flex belt is so much better. The single watch battery it uses is so under powered in the ronaldo machine that it needs a change of battery after every use. It is beyond pathetic.In short, the Ab Flex toning belt works, it just needs more power.

Bought as a gift and the recipient has been using it for two weeks and states it is effective and showing early results.
