subject: Best Ab Belt On The Market [print this page] The best ab belt might sound like an oxymoron to you. So the search for the best ab belt on the market probably also seems like a fruitless pursuit for a lot of consumers. But with so many ab belt options out there, it only makes sense that some would be better than others. And if, in determining which ones are indeed better, we happen to come across one that is clearly the best, then so be it. But from our perspective, the best ab belt on the market is still going to have to jump through some hoops, no matter how it stacks up against the competition.
Most ab belts share a main function in common: Electric Muscle Stimulation technology, EMS for short. Companies like Contour Abs, Slendertone, and Flex Belt all work on a similar principle in this regard. They send an electric signal to your abs, causing them to work as though they were busy doing a crunch or some other ab exercise. Some ab belt companies do not advertise their belts as EMS products, but it appears that the better options on the market do so.
Beyond this similarity, we start to see differences. Some companies offer more accessories and attachments than others. Such additions can be handy in extending the power of the ab belt to other parts of the body for toning purposes.
Furthermore, some products are backed by money back guarantees while others are not. Shopping for these clear differences can save consumers time and money in the long run. The Flex Belt deserves special mention in this regard. It is an FDA cleared EMS belt that uses medical grade materials for strengthening and toning the abs, as well as other body parts via attachments and accessories. The Flex Belt comes with a 60 day money back guarantee as well and is backed by a decent website. Some consumers might not consider the Flex Belt to be the best ab belt on the market, but it would appear to be a significant competitor of other ab belt companies such as Abflex. And in any case, it could serve as a useful comparison item while youre shopping around.
The best ab belt on the market, in other words, would seem to exist. But based upon consumer need and subjective criteria, one consumer might choose this one, and another that one. The point is that we cannot dismiss ab belts outright, no matter how convenient it would be to do so. Consumers serious about fitness ought to consider an ab belt carefully and shop for only the best of the best.
