Contour Belt: Ab Workout Videos Online Show How It Measures Up

Review Summary

Contour Technology, LLC is the mastermind behind the Contour Belt, and while it has been very popular with consumers, there are lots of toning belt options available these days that are designed to contour abs. These belts are said to be able to stimulate the abs so that they work themselves out, and while many of us want to believe that these machines can do just that without us having to do a single crunch, some still doubt whether this could be true. According to this developer and several others, though, they do. Lets take a look at what this Contour Ab Belt has to offer and how it measures up against some of the others.

Device

Contour Abs, as it is also known, comes complete with the actual belt, as well as an M2 Controller, 4 Electrodes (Contour Gel Pads), 4 AAA Batteries, Care Instructions, Diet and Exercise Guide, VIP Talk Hotline Card and a bonus travel Back Pack. Its also backed up by a one year warranty.

Comparison

The Contour Belt has some competition these days, including the Flex Belt and the Ansonic Belt. These belts run the gamut in terms of price, from $7.99 for the Absonic Belt to $199 and up for the other two other ab belts. These belts are all designed to contour abs by stimulating the muscles beneath the belt once its placed around the users core.

The Contour Ab Belt uses SwissWave Technology, the same technology found in pacemakers. The Flex Belt uses EMS muscle stimulation technology thats used by physical therapists to rehabilitate patients muscles so that atrophy is barred and muscles are toned. Both of these technologies use small electrical impulses to stimulate the core muscles so that they contract and release the same way they would if the user was actually doing a crunch or a sit up. The Absonic Belt reportedly uses sonar based technology to create the same effect.

Resources

Reading this article is a great way to get started researching this class of products, but there are also lots of other ways to find out how these devices work and if they are a good match for you. Online resources like YouTube and other online video sites actually let you see how these devices contour abs and simulate crunches and sit ups. These videos often include normal people who have decided to try these devices for themselves, which allows consumers to see more than just the typical advertising hype and find out what they should really expect.

Final Facts

The Contour Belt, as well as other ab belts, is designed to provide users with a way to work out their abs without having to hit the gym or do endless sit ups. Many of these products use very similar technology and may actually look alike, so doing a bit of research can be a great way to find out which one of these ab belts is the right fit for you. As we said earlier, video sites often post clips of these devices in action so viewers can get a better idea of how they look, feel and work.
