Fast Ab Belts

[Hollyg]

Hi all,
Does anyone have one of these machines. I see so many on televison (Fast Abs, Abtronic, etc.). I heard Tom Joyner started using one as well.
What do you think?

[ClassyLady]

I sure hope these things work because I just bought one off of ebay. I ordered the abtronic belt for just over $20, so I figure that it's not too much of a loss if it doesn't. I really want my stomach to be flat again but I hate sit-ups and crunches.

I have the AB Doer II & I will say that with hard work and dedication, you will see some results.

You also have to remember that you must change your eating happens and incorporate some cardio into your routine somewhere. You have to do cardio at least 3-4 times a week for 30-45 minutes. Cuz, if there's a layer of fat hiding that six-pack, then no Ab device alone is gonna work magic in order for you to see it.

**sounding like Arnold Horshack** OOO OOO OOO OOO

Someone please tell me more. I have had ABS of Steel since September but have not yet put it in VCR so if this belt works, please tell me I want FLAAAAAAAAAT ABS by June 10th.

Is the AB Doer II one of the electronic belts? Do you really think it makes a difference? You sould like you are faiirly knowledgable exercicser so do you think it has helped you get results you would not ahve with out it?

[vanda]

My aunt purchased one of those ab belts and let me tell you, you have to be prepared for the way the contractions feel. She thought she was being electrocuted because she was not sure what to feel. To me it feel like a lawnmower going slowly over your body but not cuttting you.

[strobelitehoney]

okay everyone I AM THE FITNESS QUEEN.
THOSE BELTS ARE ONLY GONNA WORK SO MUCH. THEY WILL NOT!!!!!!! MAKE YOU HAVE A FLATTER STOMACH, AND I WILL TELL YOU WHY.


Although the stimulation you feel from the belt hit the muscles directly, it will NOT, I REPEAT WILL NOT, REDUCE THE FAT THAT IS SURROUNDING YOUR MUSCLES. IN ORDER FOR YOUR SIX PACK TO SHOW YOU MUST REDUCE THE FAT. YOUR SIX PACK IS ALREADY THERE, YOU JUST HAVE FAT SURROUNDING IT.


* YOU CAN NOT SPOT REDUCE YOUR MUSCLE. MEANING JUST BECAUSE YOU DO SIT UPS MEAN ONLY YOUR STOMACH WILL TONE THAT IS NOT TRUE.!!!!!!!

AS YOU WORK YOUR BODY OUT, IT TAKE PERCENTAGES OF FAT STORES FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF YOUR BODY TO REDUCE. THE AB BELTS WILL TIGHTEN YOUR STOMACH MUSCLES, SOME!!!!!! BUT IN ORDER FOR IT TO LOOK GOOD AND REALLY SAY IT WORKS, YOU MUST REDUCE THE FAT. BRING UP YOUR METABOLISM, TO KEEP BURNING CALORIES AS YOU SLEEP, TO KEEP THE FAT AWAY.

THAT'S WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO DO AEROBICS/CARDIO. TO BRING THAT HEART RATE UP, AND BOOST YOUR METABOLISM. AND NO!!! YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO A SERIOUS LOAD OF SITUPS AND CRUNCHES TO GET A WASH BOARD, SIX PACK, REALLY IT'S A 12 PACK BUT THAT'S A DIFFERENT TOPIC. ANYWAY. IF YOU DO YOUR STOMACH EXERCISES CORRECTLY, YOU ONLY HAVE TO DO A MINIMUM OF AT LEAST 100 FOR TONING. AND MORE THAN THAT FOR DEFINITION.

AFTER 2 WEEKS OF CONTINUOUS STOMACH EXERCISES, YOU WILL SEE A CHANGE. (YES YOU CAN WORK YOUR ABS EVERYDAY, BECAUSE IT IS AN HYPERAEROBIC MUSCLE), BUT IT'S BEST TO WORK ON A DIFFERENT SET OF ABS RATHER THAN THE SAME ONE EVERY DAY. DEPENDING ON YOUR STOMACH SIZE YOUR SIX PACK CAN SHOW WITHIN SIX WEEKS (IF YOU DO IT CONTINUOUSLY) AND ADD 15 MIN OF AN AEROBIC ROUTINE, BRISK WALKING, JOGGING, OR AN AEROBIC TAPE. 15 MINUTES IS ALL YOU NEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE DON'T GIVE IN TO THESE INFOMERCIALS, THE PRODUCTS ARE MISLEADING. SORRY SO LONG, BUT I HAD TO VENT. I GET TIRED OF PEOPLE THINKING THESE PRODUCTS CAN SPOT REDUCE, AND THAT IS NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry I went gung-ho on ya'll
OKAY NEXT QUESTION. *DEEP SIGH*

P.S THE ABS OF STEEL WORKS. BUT SHE DID NOT DO ENOUGH REPS FOR ME. SO YOU STILL MAY NEED TO DO YOUR OWN EXERCISES with more reps.

No. The AB Doer II is the machine that looks like a chair w/arms(do you know what I'm talking about?) that you rock from side to side or back & forth.

Do you really think it makes a difference?
Yep. (I feel like I'm doing a commercial--lol.) But you have to be diligent in using it. It sat in my house for about 3 months and I had probably used it 2 times b4 I decided to see if it really worked and to my surprise it did.

You sound like you are fairly knowledgable exercicser so do you think it has helped you get results you would not have with out it?
B4 I started using this machine my abs never looked like the do now and I exercised pretty regularly. I can now see a little definition. I'm not saying my abs look like Janet Jackson's, but I definately have seen a change.

Let me add this disclaimer: Results may vary from person to person.

I'm not sure if you posed your last question to me. but this is my answer anyway hee hee.

I used every ab machine in the book. I used to be toned down, you couldn't tell me jack, and Janet didn't have anything on me, but I also played sports. You do lose what you don't use. So i was like okay i'll try this(ab machines) not one of the ab machines work. So i started going to the gym, by doing that and going to school, *i am a physical education major,* I learned how your body stores fat, the physiology of the body etc etc, bla bla bla.

Like you said, you have to work diligently with those machines, but they only do so much, because your body get used to reps, which means you have to do more, as you get stronger. When people don't see the results they want, or what they were told they were gonna get, they quit. So being diligent is a must have.

Knowing and understanding that you can not SPOT REDUCE, IS A BIG MUST ALSO. understanding that ISOLATING THE MUSCLE, IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WHILE BURNING FAT, IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS.

ISOLATING AND SPOT REDUCING IS DIFFERENT. YOU MAY DO 600 SIT-UPS A NIGHT, AND HAVE STRONG STOMACH MUSCLES, BUT IF YOU HAVE FAT SURROUNDING THOSE STRONG ABS, IT DOESN'T LOOK ALL THAT GREAT. WHICH, INCLUSION MEANS THE FLAT STOMACH YOU WANT, IS NOT NOTICABLE, BECAUSE OF THE LAYERS OF FAT.

AEROBIC/CARDIO WORK OUT BURNS THE FAT, TO WANT TO REMOVE, SO 15 -20 MIN A DAY OF THAT IS WHAT YOU NEED.
YOU CAN SEE RESULTS IN 2 WEEKS.

OH YEAH, AND STAY AWAY FROM RED MEAT, IT SITS IN YOUR STOMACH, CAUSING YOU TOO LOOK BLOATED. JUST THOUGHT I'D LET YOU KNOW

OK, I start my workout, diet and exercise regimen this Friday.
I might see if I can borrow my friend's TaeBo tapes from time to time just for some more cardio. I have not had a flat stomach since oh say conception -- LOL but now I want to show it off before my childbearing years come and go.

Thanks for the tips.

[Mz. Sports Luva]

strobelitehoney: thanks for adding your expertise re:cardio. It's good to know that I can cut down on my minutes.

[Hollyg]

Thanks for the feedback ladies.

Electronic Ab Devices: Magic or Myth? Part 1
Air Date: January 31, 2002
THE INFOMERCIALS CLAIM THIS IS A TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH FOR PHYSICAL FITNESS. YOU SIMPLY STRAP ON AN ELECTRONIC BELT, HIT A BUTTON OR TWO, GO ABOUT YOUR NORMAL BUSINESS, AND, OH YEAH, END UP WITH THE BODY OF YOUR DREAMS. SO ARE ELECTRONIC AB DEVICES A MIRACLE OR A MYTH? WE'VE BEEN INVESTIGATING.

Introducing Fast Abs, the no sweat, full body workout.

Introducing the revolutionary Ab Energizer system featuring 21st century scientific technology. To get firm, toned abs without breaking a sweat.

Introducing the revolutionary Ab Tronic Fitness System.

You just sit and relax and watch your abs tighten.

NO MATTER WHETHER IT'S KATHY DERRY AND PETER VIRGILE FOR FAST ABS.

JOHN MCCAFFERTY AND KITA PELLY FOR AB ENERGIZER.

OR TODD JENSEN AND JULIE SHIPLEY FOR THE AB TRONIC FITNESS SYSTEM.

ALL THESE INFOMERCIAL HOSTS ARE PITCHING THE HOTTEST PRODUCT IN DIRECT RESPONSE TV ELECTRONIC AB DEVICES.

THESE ALLEGED "MUSCLE MAKING MACHINES" MAKE AMAZING CLAIMS, FOR INSTANCE

You'll see how the Ab Tronic System gives you the results of 600 sit-ups in just 10 minutes without any effort.

Olympic athletes, fitness experts and astronauts have known for years about this amazing technology.

Now with the touch of a button you can go from flab to rock hard abs.

WHAT'S MORE, VIEWERS TELL US THEY ABSOLUTELY HOPE THE CLAIMS ARE TRUE.

What intrigued you about the product?

Troy Hailey: Cause it said I didn't have to do anything. I could just read a book and go to work and wear it if I want to and not actually have to do the sit-ups.

Helen Vallone: You know, put the belt around your waist, put the gel on, and it would just be no hassle.

Kim Moore: Of course I wanted it to happen. You know you spend 40 or 50 dollars and you look like somebody who can be in the Miss or Mrs. Universe contest.

WITH SHIPPING, THE ELECTRONIC AB DEVICES COST US BETWEEN $50 AND $135. THEY CLAIM THE SECRET IS ELECTRONIC MUSCLE STIMULATION. STIMULATION UNITS ATTACHED TO THE BELTS SEND ELECTRONIC IMPULSES INTO YOUR MUSCLES, MAKING THEM CONTRACT AS IF YOU WERE DOING A SIT-UP.

NOW PRINTED GUIDEBOOKS THAT COME WITH THE DEVICES DO SAY THAT DIET AND AEROBIC EXERCISE IS ALSO NECESSARY FOR A HEALTHY BODY. AND FINE PRINT IN THE INFOMERCIALS ALSO REFERS TO A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND THAT RESULTS MIGHT VARY.

BUT THE COMMERCIALS SHOW AMAZING BEFORE-AND-AFTER PICTURES TO PROVE THE DEVICES CHANGE YOUR BODY FROM FLABBY TO FABULOUS AND THE TESTIMONIALS ARE VERY CONVINCING .

In the last 14 days I lost 2-and-a-half inches off my waist and 2 inches off my hips.

I saw muscles that I never knew I even had and I just love it.

The Ab Energizer, and the Ab Energizer system has changed my life, given my life back to me.

The ads even use medical experts to prove they're selling the future of fitness, for instance, Ab Tronice uses Dr. Julio Garcia to sell its device.

The Ab Tronic causes a firm contraction of the muscle, stimulating that muscle whether you want to or not. It's going to contract.

WE CALLED DR. GARCIA BUT HE WOULD NOT TALK TO US. HOWEVER IN A GOOD MORNING AMERICA TV INTERVIEW

GARCIA SAYS AB TRONIC TOOK SOME OF HIS COMMENTS OUT OF CONTEXT.

HE SAYS THE INFOMERCIAL MADE IT SOUND AS IF THE AB TRONIC MACHINE ITSELF WILL MAKE YOU LOSE WEIGHT,

WHICH IS NOT WHAT HE REALLY THINKS.

AbTronic also uses research from the University of Maryland to sell its device 7 doctors from the University of Maryland did a 4-week study of abdominal strength of 31 healthy volunteers.

THAT RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED BY DR. GAD ALON.

So we called Dr. Alon. He told us Ab Tronic never contacted him. The research comes from work done in the mid-1980's. And what Ab Tronic says in the infomercial has nothing to do with the studies he or the University conducted.

We also asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to talk about electronic ab devices. It would not give us an on-camera interview.

However the FDA told us it considers these ab machines to be unapproved medical devices.

It says the companies should not be selling them because they've not been approved.

When we asked if the ab companies were breaking the law the FDA said yes.

It says electronic ab devices are under investigation.

DESPITE OUR EFFORTS, WE WERE UNABLE TO CONTACT AB TRONIC FOR A RESPONSE.

FAST ABS SAYS IT IS TONING AND EXERCISE EQUIPMENT, NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE, AND FDA AUTHORIZATION IS UNNECESSARY FOR IT TO SELL THE PRODUCT. HOWEVER IT SAYS IF THE FDA DETERMINES IT'S A MEDICAL DEVICE, IT WILL BRING ITSELF UNDER FDA COMPLIANCE.

AND THOMAS NELSON, THE CEO OF AB ENERGIZER TELLS US HIS COMPANY IS ACTIVELY TRYING TO WORK WITH THE FDA.

Tomas Nelson, Ab Energizer: What's important here is that the FDA has never contacted Ab Energizer and told us that we're breaking the law. The FDA has not contacted the Ab Energizer and asked us to do anything. We contacted the FDA and were informed that they would like to see us apply for approval, and that's what we're doing.

BOTH FAST ABS AND AB ENERGIZER ALSO TELL US ITS DEVICE SHOULD BE USED AS PART OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE THAT INCLUDES DIET, AND AB ENERGIZER SUGGESTS OTHER EXERCISES. BOTH SAY THE PRINCIPAL BEHIND THE PRODUCT HAS BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN.

SO WE ASKED DR. BEN HURLEY, AN EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND IF THE ELECTRONIC AB MACHINES COULD POSSIBLY DELIVER ALL THAT THEY PROMISE.

Crenshaw: The pitch people on TV look fabulous. Did they get that way using devices like this?

Dr. Ben Hurley, Ph.D., University of Maryland: My guess is that most of that came from their genetic endowment more than anything else. Perhaps a lot of it also came from exercise, but I would be very surprised if any of it came from these devices.

[Urbane]

Electronic Ab Devices, Magic or Myth? Part 2
Liz Crenshaw's Investigation
Liz Crenshaw, Consumer Reporter
Crenshaw: FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS VIEWERS HAVE BEEN ASKING US TO CHECK OUT ELECTRONIC AB DEVICES, SO WE BOUGHT SEVERAL AND GAVE THEM TO SOME VIEWERS AND EXERCISE EXPERTS TO TRY OUT. WHAT'S THEIR OPINION OF THESE DEVICES? YOU'LL ABS-SOLUTELY KNOW AFTER THIS REPORT.
WANT TO LOOK LIKE THIS? SURE YOU DO. YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO DO THE WORK LOOKING LIKE THIS REQUIRES.

AND NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO, AT LEAST IF YOU BELIEVE THE CLAIMS MADE BY FAST ABS, AB ENERGIZER AND AB TRONIC.


FOR BETWEEN $50 AND $135 DOLLARS, THESE COMPANIES WILL SELL YOU A DEVICE THEY CLAIM DOES ALL THE WORK FOR YOU. NOW PRINTED GUIDEBOOKS THAT COME WITH THE DEVICES DO SAY THAT DIET AND AEROBIC EXERCISE IS ALSO NECESSARY FOR A HEALTHY BODY. AND FINE PRINT IN THE INFOMERCIALS ALSO REFERS TO A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND THAT RESULTS MIGHT VARY.

BUT THE INFOMERCIALS REPEATEDLY SAY THAT TEN MINUTES WORTH OF ELECTRONIC AB STIMULATION IS EQUIVALENT TO 600 SIT-UPS. AND THEY HAVE THE TESTIMONIALS TO PROVE IT.

Ab Tronic Commercial "It's crystal clear that there's something healthy going on in your body when you're wearing the Ab Tronic."

Commercial "It feels like it's really working my abs, it really does. And I don't have to strain. "

Commercial "Makes you feel like you're doing the crunch without doing it. "

Commercial "I like it. I could put this on anytime."

Crenshaw BUT WILL YOU LIKE THE ELECTRONIC AB DEVICES AS MUCH AS THE FOLKS IN THESE COMMERCIALS? TO FIND OUT, WE GAVE ELECTRONIC AB DEVICES TO THREE OF OUR VIEWERS. EACH HAD SEEN THE INFOMERCIALS ON TV AND WANTED TO TRY OUT THE DEVICES.

Kim Moore "They show the people in the commercial like kind of like lounging on lawn chairs and stuff like that."

Helen Vallone "You know put the belt around your waist, put the gel on and it would just be no hassle."

Troy Hailey "The commercial to me said just wear the belt. You don't have to do anything. Just sit there and the belt does everything for you.

Crenshaw EACH OF OUR VIEWERS USED THEIR BELT FOR TWO TO FOUR WEEKS. IN A MOMENT, WE'LL FIND OUT IF THE DEVICES WORKED FOR THEM. BUT FIRST, WE WERE VERY INTERESTED IN THE INFOMERCIAL CLAIM THAT WEARING AB BELTS IS LIKE DOING HUNDREDS OF SIT-UPS, A SELLING POINT EACH DEVICE MAKES.

Commercial "Now you can get over 700 muscle exercising contractions in just 10 minutes. Just 10 minutes of Fast Abs is like doing 600 sit-ups. "

Commercial "The AbTronic System gives you the results of 600 sit-ups in 10 minutes without any effort."

Crenshaw SO WE WENT TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND'S DEPARTMENT OF KINESIOLOGY TO MEET WITH EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGISTS DR. DANA PHARES AND JOSEF BRANDAUER. BOTH ARE EXPERTS IN PHYSICAL FITNESS AND KNOW HOW A CRUNCH IS SUPPOSED TO FEEL.

Crenshaw "That's a real crunch."

Josef Brandauer "That was a real crunch."

Crenshaw "What do you feel?"

Josef Brandauer "Well it's basically I feel muscle contraction all the way through my abdominal region, from down here in my pelvis to up to almost my sternum."

Dr. Dana Phares "I feel like my heart rate is a little higher, I'm breathing a little faster, and more importantly I feel some fatigue all along my rectus abdominus."

Crenshaw "In a tiny little muscle group?"

Dr. Dana Phares "Oh no, the whole muscle group."

WE GAVE THEM ELECTRONIC BELTS TO TRY OUT, THEN ASKED THEM TO ANSWER THE BIG QUESTION OUR VIEWERS WANT TO KNOW.

Crenshaw "Did it feel like a sit-up or a crunch?"

Dr. Dana Phares "Not at all. It felt very superficial and localized as opposed to a crunch, where you feel your whole abdominal area contracting and relaxing. "

Crenshaw "Ten minutes is equal to 600 sit-ups. Did you feel like you'd done 600 sit-ups?"

Dr. Dana Phares "Absolutely not. I didn't feel like I did one sit-up."

AND DR. BEN HURLEY, PROFESSOR OF KINESIOLOGY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND SAYS THAT'S THE TRUTH BEHIND THESE AB DEVICES.

Crenshaw "Will these devices give me washboard abs?"

Dr. Ben Hurley "Extremely unlikely for that to happen if not impossible."

Crenshaw "Why not?"

Dr. Ben Hurley "Well I think a big part of somebody that looks like the people they have in these commercials are due to genetic endowment."

Crenshaw "Are these devices going to make me look like those people on TV?"

Dr. Ben Hurley "I have never seen any evidence that it would. It seems more likely that it would not."

SO HOW DO THE AB COMPANIES RESPOND TO OUR EXPERTS? DESPITE OUR EFFORTS, WE WERE UNABLE TO CONTACT AB TRONIC FOR A RESPONSE.

FAST ABS SAYS IT IS INTENDED TO IMPROVE MUSCLE TONE AND STRENGTH. IT SAYS WHEN USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A DIET PLAN SOME CONSUMERS MAY LOSE WEIGHT, THOUGH INDIVIDUAL RESULTS WILL VARY.

AND THOMAS NELSON, THE C.E.O. OF AB ENERGIZER TELLS US HIS EXPERTS DISAGREE WITH OUR EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGISTS.

Thomas Nelson, CEO Ab Energizer "I can tell you there is a wealth of scientific studies that establish that electronic muscle stimulation as used in the Ab Energizer is effective."

FAST ABS SAYS THE SAME FOR ITS PRODUCT. NELSON ALSO SAYS THE AB ENERGIZER SHOULD BE USED AS PART OF A LIFESTYLE THAT INCLUDES A HEALTHY DIET AND PHYSICAL EXERCISE.

BUT WHAT DO OUR 3 VIEWERS THINK AFTER USING THEIR DEVICES?

Crenshaw "You've been using it for 2 weeks. Have you noticed any difference?"

Moore "No."

Crenshaw "No?"

Moore "No. "

Crenshaw "Three weeks."

Hailey "Uh-huh."

Crenshaw "And did you notice any difference at all?"

Hailey "No, not really."

Vallone "I've used it every day. And I read the book and followed the guidelines. I'm thin to begin with so I thought it wouldn't be much work to just get some abs, but it doesn't work for me."

Crenshaw "What's your advice?"

Moore "I would say that don't think that the machine is going to do everything for you, and don't think that you're going to look like the people on television with just this device, 'cause it's not going to work, it's not going to happen."

YESTERDAY WE CONTACTED ALL THREE OF OUR VIEWERS WHO TRIED THE AB DEVICES FOR US. EACH HAS STOPPED USING THE DEVICE.
