I have the Slendertone Flex and wondered if anyone else used them, if they had good luck with them and if they are able to figure out the activity for their fit bit bracelet.?? Any detailed info would be so appreciated.

    Works great! I usually use it right after I chug my snake oil shake.


    In all seriousness, you can't "target fat loss" to your abs if you wanted to do that, these products do very little for you. Spend the $60 you would spend on this for a half a year at the gym and get an ACTUAL ab workout instead.

    Buy an ab wheel instead. Little device, like a 8" wheel with a stick through it.

    I thought you could accomplish the same thing by doing thousands of crunches daily. And that's free!

    I think what people need to keep in mind about ab belts is that it really won't give you a six pack like the commercials show. If you want to get ripped abs it's more of a diet change in your life than some piece of fitness equipment. However if you want a STRONGER CORE then this is where these products come in handy. I bought the Flex Belt after my friend lent me his and it really works your abs without having to do situps or crunches which strain my back. I just wear it while I watch TV and get a decent ab workout. I eventually bought mine from http://asseenontv-canada.com/flex-belt-canada/ and use it every couple days. Yes crunches are free and an ab wheel is less expensive but this targets all parts of your stomach without any frustration or stress.

    LOL

    Without frustration or stress = miracle device that gives you a workout while you are sitting down watching TV. Sounds legit.

    I do all sorts of ab work- and I'm never frustrated or stressed. How are you stressed while you are doing a work out?

    The only thing I want to do while watching TV is watch TV and sew. not workout- home is my time to do what I want. not workout. that's why I pay a membership for a gym.

    This reply post started out so promising...

    A decent ab workout? I wonder what your abs even look like...

    Seriously...

    It's a gimmick. It's best to invest your time (and money) into healthy food and exercise. It's not complicated - find a healthy calorie goal and stick with it, eat healthy and get some exercise, the weight will come off. Adopt a healthy lifestyle and avoid quick fixes....they don't work.
