Slendertone Flex Abdominal Belt Review

This past week we put together a review on the Slendertone Flex abdominal belt. The abdominal belt falls under the same categories as the Ab Energizer, Sauna Pro Belt and AbTronic. We are usually cautious about these types of exercise equipment because on the surface they appear to claim giving miraculous results with little or no effort at all (when in reality these belts never seem to live up to the expectations).

The Slendertone Flex belt however is is a different bread in its class, the first to be approved by the FDA, and doesn't make outrageous claims like some of its predecessors. We have collected numerous reviews for this belt and you can read our summary at the link below.

Gymform Plus Review

The Gymform Plus falls under the same category as other review items like the Velform Sauna Belt, Ab Energizer and other electro-muscular abdominal exerciser products. If you have read our reviews on the Velform Sauna Belt, Ab Energizer and others then you are all ready aware that we are not a fan of these types of exercisers. Our biggest beef with these types of products is that they promise miraculous gains with minimum effort from you. There is no such thing as a magic pill and any product that promotes great achievements with no effort from you is only giving you false promises.

Ab Lounge Ultra Review

A couple of post ago I made a recommendation for the ABLounge and how I felt it really does workout the abdominal muscles. I even challenged those that are scepticle to go down to their local Academy, or sporting goods store, and try one themselves.

One of the newer versions of the ABLounge is the Ab Lounge Ultra. The Ab Lounge Ultra has pretty much the same functionality with a few more features. The biggest benefit the Ab Lounge Ultra has over the ABLounge is the quality of the equipment. However improved quality does dictate price so there is an increase in the cost. If you feel that you need to try this equipment out for yourself then I extend the same recommendation to head down to your local sporting goods store. You can also see a full review on the Ab Lounge Ultra by clicking here.

All the best,

Ablounger Review

If you are looking for an exercise equipment to train your abs with then I recommend taking a look at the Ab Lounge (also referred to on the web as the Ablounger). If done properly the Ablounger does give a great workout for the abdominal muscles. The key to maximizing the exercise is the way you exhale during the contaction stage of the movement (when you bring your chest towards your knees). As you exhale you will want to squeeze your abdominal muscles to maximize the contraction. Take your time during the exercise and make sure that you are lifting the weights versus using momentum.

You can read my full review on the Ab Lounge here.

If you are sceptical about this exercise equipment then I recommend you take a trip down to your local Academy to try one out for yourself. They also carry the Ab Chair if you want to make a comparison against that machine as well (at least the Academy by my house carries them). If you do not have an Acedemy near your home then I recommend checking with your local sporting goods store to see if they may carry the Ablounger.

All the best,

Gerald
