Sauna belts are wide belt-like pieces of fitness equipment designed to help you lose weight without exercising. Sauna belts may help you lose weight and tone specific muscle groups with minimal time commitment. Sauna belts work by heating up and helping you sweat away pounds in the belted area. The fitness community is yet to widely accept sauna belts as a proven weight-loss tool.
Weight Loss
Traditional sauna belts are simple instruments that work like heating pads. If you carry excess water weight in an area of your body, you can put on a sauna belt, plug it in and wait while the belt heats up. The heat from the belt causes your body to sweat off pounds from that area while you carry on with your day. Most traditional sauna belts have a cord that plugs into an electrical outlet, which means that you'll have to stay confined to one room while the belt works.
Tone Muscles
A second type of sauna belt called a flex belt can help you both shed pounds and tone your abdominal muscles. Flex belts work by using electronic muscle-stimulation technology that creates contractions in the muscles under the belt. Electronic signals are sent between the pads, which triggers the nerves in your core to contract muscles similar to a crunch or sit-up. By strapping on a flex belt, you can get a core workout without joining a fitness class or starting your own fitness program. Flex belts allow you to get a core workout while sitting, standing or lying down. If you are a busy person, you may be more likely to stick to this core workout program because you can go on with your desk work while you work out.
Target Specific Muscles
Although sauna belts are fashioned similar to traditional belts, you aren't limited to using them on your waist. Sauna belts accommodate waists up to 47 inches around and attach in the rear. These features allow you to wrap them around nearly any muscle group on your body. Use sauna belts around your upper core, thighs, legs and arms to sweat away pounds or contract muscle groups. You can also use the heat from traditional sauna belts to soothe tight muscles.
