The contour ab belt is an abdominal belt that helps you lose weight by providing electric pulses to the stomach. In addition to its use in losing weight, it can also be used as a back massager, according to Diet Spotlight. The belt comes with a diet and exercise guide book and can be used on other parts of the body as well.
Benefits
The contour ab belt uses electric muscle stimulation, or EMS, to burn abdominal fat. EMS has been approved by the FDA and is slowly becoming one of the most popular methods of losing weight. According to Weight Loss HQ, another benefit of the contour belt is that there is no set period during the day in which you have to use the belt. You can use it at your convenience. In addition to this, it comes with a two year replacement guarantee.
Workout
While the contour ab belt has been cleared by the FDA, Diet Spotlight states in their opinion that the belt may not really help burn calories. Instead, users are advised to change their eating habits and adopt an exercise routine that will help them lose weight in the long run.
Use
The contour ab belt must be used for at least two to three hours daily for several months to see any noticeable change. The belt comes with a diet and exercise guide, which you must follow in order to get the maximum benefit from its use.
Price
Because the belt is FDA approved, it is priced slightly higher compared to other belts in the market. It can be ordered online through the manufacturer's website and as of 2010 costs close to $200, plus shipping and handling. The belt comes with a one month satisfaction guarantee and a two year warranty.
Cons
The belt is operated via four AAA batteries and is very bulky compared to other EMS belts available in the market. You cannot wear it in public since it is impossible to conceal the belt underneath your clothing. If you are going to use it at home, then the belt could be a good investment; however, not many consumers have reported positive results from using the belt.
Another downside of the belt is that it can be used only by people who want to tone their abdomen muscles but are of normal weight. It is not beneficial for overweight or obese people.
