Flex Belt Review - Does the Slendertone Flex Belt do what it promises?
According to Slendertone, the Flex Belt will 'Tone, Tighten, Firm & Strengthen Your Abs - Guaranteed!'. Well two months ago I decided to put these claims to the test, and I've written about my findings here.How Does the FlexBelt Work?
Ok, heres the technical stuff:
Flex Belt is made up of three pre-positioned, medical-grade GelPads, which cover your central abdominal muscles and external obliques. Electrical signals from the Flex belt reach out to nerves at the point where they are most concentrated. These nerves branch out to all the abdominal muscles (not just the ones under the pads) which causes them to relax and contract naturally, working all of the muscles at the same time.
Ease of use:
I think the reason that products like the Flex belt appeal to people so much, is that they are simple, and are convenient to use. But the real question is, do they actually work?
So the Flex Belt is Clinically Proven, right?
Yes it is. After doing a little bit of research, I've discovered that in an 8-week clinical study, the Flex Belt was proven effective for 100% of users that use it as instructed. Thats everybody. The results of this study showed the following improvements amongst the Flex Belt users:
- 49% increase in abdominal strength
- 1.4 inch (3.5cm) average waist reduction
- 72% increase in sit-up performance
- ALL subjects reported firmer and flatter abdomens
How Much is the Flex Belt?
The FlexBelt currently retails for $199.99, which was what I paid for mine 2 months ago. Currently though, they are throwing in a YEARS FREE subscription to either of these two well known healthy lifestyle magazines, Fitness & Maxim:
This always happens to me, I buy something, and then soon after they give something away for free!
Will Flex Belt Really Work?
I go to the gym on a daily basis. I work out my abs for four days a week and it takes a lot of time, effort and commitment. I realised straight away that I could use the Flex Belt whilst at home and spend the extra time back at the gym working on the treadmill or on the rower. This enabled me to manage my gym time better and lose a heck of a lot more weight. Trust me, with a young son it is very tricky to find time to work out, so usingwhat time I do have efficiently is crucial, and very satisfying.
The Slendertone Flex Belt is also endorsed by some top professional athletes. These include the NFL hall of famer Jerry Rice. Here's what Jerry said about the Flex Belt:
“The first time that I used it I was very surprised because it was working those muscles that I had been trying to work with crunches and I got the results that I wanted. It works those muscles, tones them, makes them stronger and it is very easy.” - Jerry Rice, San Francisco 49ers All Star
Does the Flex Belt come with a Warranty?
YES!, and a really good one. Every Flex Belt order comes with a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. This makes trying the Flex Belt RISK FREE. Any order can be returned within 60 days from the date you place your order, for a 100% refund, for ANY reason whatsoever. You could even tell them you are bored of it, it really doesn't matter.
