Abdominal toning belts are much more than just another piece of exercise equipment. They use the same proven technology that has been used on physical therapy patients for over twenty years. These belts are made with gel pads that fit over your abdominal muscles. The ab belt sends a charge through the gel pads to the muscles underneath, then to the muscles that branch out from there. The signals reach all of your abdominal muscles, causing them to flex and contract. That means your abdominal muscles can work by themselves to make them stronger and more toned! Ab belts are the quick, safe and convenient alternative to doing hundreds of situps or crunches every day! Read on for our full review.

Do I have to exercise to see results with an ab belt?

No, you don’t! That’s the really great thing about using an abdominal belt. It doesn’t matter if you exercise already or not at all. It makes your abdominal muscles contract by themselves, so they work out even if you don’t. The abdominal toning belts are designed to work for all ages, all fitness levels, at all stages of your life. You can wear an abdominal belt while you do cardio exercise, do chores, watch TV or just sit at a desk (imagine how easy that is!) Thirty minutes a day is all it takes to let your abdominal belt take your muscles from flabby to toned and fit. Muscle toning belts are also particularly suitable to those suffering from sports or other muscle-related injuries, because they allow the user to gently work the affected muscle area without risk of straining or tearing it further!

The only thing that will limit the results you get is the quality of the abdominal belt you choose! Read our comparison and more detailed look at each ab belt below for further information.

Featured ab belts in more detail:

#1 Ab Toning Belt - Our Top Rated - The Flex Belt! The Flex belt is the highest quality most up to date abdominal toning belt you can buy. It’s also known as 'Slendertone System Abs' because it’s officially the next generation of the Slendertone Flex. Just read the ab belt reviews and you will see that more people who have used the Flexbelt have gotten better results than those using other types of ab belts. For $199.99, you get the Flex Belt abdominal toning belt, four gel pads, the rechargeable battery pack, extension for larger waists, carrying case, and a user’s manual. The Flexbelt is easy to use, and works for everyone. You also have total peace of mind because its the ONLY one of the ab toning belts we reviewed that offers a full 60-day money back guarantee - this alone shows that the manufacturers are confident in their product, which is always a good sign! It's also the only ab toning belt available that is fully FDA cleared Easy to use wherever you are! Comfortable to wear and comes with rechargable battery pack Quicker results than the other ab belts tested ONLY ab belt with FDA clearance Two-year warranty 60 Day no-question money back guarantee Free gift - 12 month magazine subscription to Fitness or Maxim The most up to date ab toner on the market! ONLY available from official Flex Belt website - Not in stores!

 

#2 Muscle Toner - Our Runner-Up - Enervive The Flex Enervive is made by Flex, the makers of the Flex Belt ab toner and is available for the same price, $199.95. The Enervive is not strictly an ab belt as the gel pads can be placed on any muscle group you wish to target, making it a very versatile piece of equipment. There is a 60 day money back guarantee offered, and a two-year warranty. Overall we experienced faster results with the Flex Belt when targeting our abdominal muscles, and found the pulses from the Enervive less powerful but we did like the fact we could use the Enervive on other muscle groups as well. New 'all over' muscle toner Comfortable to use and comes with rechargable battery pack Can be used to tone ANY muscle group Slightly weaker pulsing than the other EMS systems tested Much slower results than Flex Belt Two-year warranty 60 Day no-question money back guarantee Free gift - 12 month magazine subscription to Fitness or Maxim Very up to date electonic muscle toner!

 

#3 Ab Toner - 'Best of the rest' - Contour Ab belt The Contour Ab Belt (a.k.a. Contour Abs or Contour Core Sculpting System) is available for $199.80, but doesn’t offer nearly the quality of construction and performance or ease of operation of the other belts. Since the price is nearly the same as the Flexbelt, the Flexbelt is obviously better value for your money. Check out our comparison to see how you think the quality and features compare to that of the other abdominal belts. There is also once again no money back guarantee offered, which is of slight concern given that this ab belt is the same price as the Flexbelt! Overall we experienced faster results with the other ab belts we tested. Good second choice ab toner Effective at toning ab muscles $14.95 14 day trial Not FDA cleared Success rate less than Flexbelt No money back guarantee after 14 day trial As seen on TV!

 

#4 Ab Toner - Good product - The Slendertone Ab belt The Slendertone Flex ab belt is $150. Because it’s the previous model of the Flexbelt it comes with many of the same features as the Flexbelt, but does not have quite the high quality construction and performance. It comes in one size that fits “most”. It does, however, provide a good abdominal workout for those who want to invest a little less on their fitness and well-being. Taking into account it’s price this is a good deal! Good quality ab toner Comfortable to wear Quicker results than the other ab belts tested Six month warranty Out dated design now No money back guarantee offered The older version of the Flex Belt

 

Conclusion

If you want to improve the condition of your abs, then there’s no doubt that using an electronic ab belt to give you the strength and tone you want makes sense. It also makes sense to check out the ab belt comparison table above and compare the belts to see which one you think is going to give you the best results you can get for your money.

If quality and results are the most important to you, then the Flex Belt is the ab toning belt that should be your choice!
The Flexbelt combines high quality with proven results and is backed by a great manufacturer and FDA clearance, a 60 day money back guarantee, numerous major sports stars and positive press reviews. We consider the flexbelt to be the best ab toning belt available. If you believe the TV infomercials, the Contour Ab belt has been reported to show decent results, but we would go for the Flex Belt as it gave us quicker results and was better quality.
