I cannot believe I am actually writing about this “muscle building” product, but I actually had a person ask me about the Slendertone Ab Belt the other day.  So I thought for the sake of my friend and for the sake of others, I should write about this so-called piece of workout equipment.

So you have probably seen the infomercials of the Slendertone Ab Belt and it probably looks to good to be true.  Well…it is!  The Slendertone Ab Belt is a complete scam, and any other ab belts that promise you six pack abs are also scams.  It would be nice to live in a world that we can sit around on our butts, watch TV and lose fat by putting on the Slendertone Ab Belt, but unfortunately we do not live in such a world.  Instead we live in a world where people get taken advantage of in there desperate state to lose weight.

I really do wish the Slendertone Ab belt or any other Ab belt toner worked, it would give a lot of people an easy option to shed off some unwanted pounds, but the fact is that it does not work.  They have no research to back up their Slendertone Ab Belt product.  If you read the fine print it says that, matched with exercise and a nutrition plan you can see results.  Well of course you are going to see results!! Exercise and a healthy nutrition plan will help you lose weight.

Let me tell you what does work with Electric Stimulation…

When I was younger, I tore my knee up pretty bad.  I was not able to walk on my leg for three weeks, in that three weeks my quad muscle pretty much disappeared.  I was able to touch my right hand fingers to my left hand fingers when I gripped around my thigh.  When I began physical therapy, the therapists started hooking the muscles around my knee up to an electric muscle stimulation device.  This got my curiosity going, I asked my physical therapists if the Ab belt toners actually worked, because they were using it on my knee.  He said no, not at all!  He went on to say that the only way electric muscle stimulation works is to give an inactive muscle the help to start usage again.   Which is the reason physical therapist use electric stimulation, because they deal with people who have been injured and have inactive muscles.

The only thing that the Slendertone Ab belt and other Ab belt toners are good for is irritating the skin.  You will not get six pack abs or burn tons of fat because of the Slendertone Ab Belt.
