ABFLEX Ab Toning Belt and Ab Stimulator for Slender Toned Stomach Muscles, Remote for Quick and Easy Adjustments

I purchased this abflex belt to help bring some muscle back to a very overweight belly. I've had this delivered about a week ago and have used it everyday since. Warming up 2 mins channel 1 and then 5 mins channel 2. I've built up to what I can tolerate. Today usual 2 mins per warm up exercises totalling 10 mins and now 10 mins per "proper" exercise (C2) each so 50 mins. Up to strength 70 so far. I did go up slowly first each day increasing the strength to what I can tolerate. The belt only just fits my waist, but it does fit. It makes you jump sometimes and if I feel discomfort (not pain) I turn it down. The belt looks sturdy enough and the pads look good. The gel is essential. Do I feel a difference - yes I do! I can now hold in my tummy for 20 seconds and push out which is a good for me and a good exercise to do too. I obviously cannot see a difference as I'm fat, but as I'm also watching what I'm eating now, I hope to maybe see some improvement eventually. I'm realistic and know you probably need no tummy fat to see your tummy muscles. I've neglected mine for way to long. I'm pleased I've bought this. I'm doing alot of wellness hub gym, aqua aerobics too, this is a nice addition. I'm 63, if this works for me then woo hoo! Onward and inward. There's no video - no ones gonna see my belly - Yet!!

Ignore the bad reviews for this product, I have used numerous EMS Stimulation devices over this years and this out shines all of them by a clear mile. If it hurts it's because you're not using it properly with correct gel and that's not the device. For the price you'll be hard pushed to beat it.

I have been using this EMS belt for many months now and can honestly say that it is an effective, useful bit of kit. I purchased this product with the hope that it would be a reliable option for increasing my proficiency when it comes to abdominal workouts + recovery; I genuinely have a more productive session while using this as part of my routine! (I will add my routine at the end). It takes x2 AA Batteries - make sure to replace every now and then. The control hub is attached via one of those coiled wires (like old telephone lines that extend really far) and is so easy to understand + cycle through each intensity level as there is a '+' & '-' for both sets of pads and an up & down mode button which can be seen with absolute full clarity on the screen that displays complete information at all times (including a timer) you can turn the device off at any time and if the device loses contact from your body completely (at least 1 full pad) it will automatically shut off the power as a safety measurement. Premium quality device! It works in 2 stages, by having 4 contact pads that split into the 2 inner pads + the 2 outer pads, respectively targeting the middle of the abdominal muscles and the outer abdominal/inner oblique - you have full control of the inner + outer pads, so if you wish to isolate the outer, you can just work on the central abs and vice versa - you can also increase the level of intensity according to your requirements/capabilities as, usually, the central core/abs are initially 'stronger' than the outer muscle groups until trained appropriately - so you have absolute freedom + control over what level each set of pads emit. If you want to start off slow, you can as the levels go up/down by a factor of '1' (integer) and each level is easier to control and tolerate than other brands that jump up dramatically and painfully in intensity. Before you use this product, you need to apply the Conduction Gel to each pad (I like to spread it on the pads with my fingers and then wipe the excess on the area the pads will touch - my abs - to further increase it's effectiveness). It comes with x1 bottle that will last a considerable amount of time (about 1 month of semi-regular use) - you can purchase more on Amazon. It is not 'sticky' per se, only ever so slightly if you let it dry for a long time on your body, but usually after a heavy workout, you would have to wash because of the sweat... You don't need to apply loads of gel, just enough to coat the pads to prevent the raw contact sensation without the Conductive Gel. (This is a much better system than the removable/disposable gel pads you get on the really cheap EMS devices!). This device is easy to put on, simple banded design that comfortably wraps around your body and is held firmly in place with the strong Velcro fastening system (I recommend breathing in/sucking-in your stomach/abs when you put it on to make it as tight as possible so that it doesn't move/slide as this can cause great discomfort/pain). This is a great device, easy to clean after each use, simple to use, high-quality materials and very durable. I will be using this for a very long time to come! I highly recommend this product to anyone whom wishes to enhance their workout routine and gain better results from this beneficial device! It is inexpensive and easy to maintain, has great controls and freedom of use. ***(My PERSONAL Routine)*** First, I usually begin by doing 1-2 cycles of 30 minute warm-up sessions back-to-back with this device - at increased intensity and modes at several intervals... The I would continue, as normal, with my abdominal workout - variated sit-ups, crunches, bicycles, etc.. And after many sets of high-reps, I would move on to the Ab Wheel, where I go until failure, pushing myself to do more and more until I finally decide it's enough... My final exercise is now replaced by the use of this AbFlex EMS Belt where I will use it for 30 minutes at Level 99 Level 99 on different modes to fully maximise my gains, each time the 30 minutes is up, for a total of 3, I will move the belt down slightly (start at very top of Abs, then middle, then bottom) - I enhance my results this way (do not do this if you are new to EMS devices as this will be too unbearable to even get past level 30, level 30 to begin with!). I warm-down, at the end, by starting a final 30 minute cycle and gradually decreasing the intensity levels and reducing the mode to a 'warm-up' mode in order to safely and efficiently 'warm-down'.

I have tried a few ab belts, and this is by far the best one I have tried. I had tried the water based ones with no replacement pads,, with mixed results. One had a huge fault and burnt me, one wouldn't fit and the other just did not work! I had been looking at this one and the excellent reviews it had, but I had been put off getting it to begin with for the simple reason of the controller being attached with a cord. But after the ones I had tried I decided to give this one a go. PROS: It comes in a very compact and very neat little box which contains a zipped carrier case to hold the belt and gel. In turn, it hardly takes up any room - always a bonus! It fits my 20" waist, and will go a little smaller still with no problems (I have to tuck in the rest at the back) The four pads are much bigger than I expected and work excellently with the gel Nice strong settings and easy to follow instructions - and very easy use of controller Electrical currents go up very gradually and ease you into the stronger bits, so on the very low settings you will barely feel it unless you tweak the current up CONS: I don't like that the cord is on the front and padded, making it difficult to wear jeans while wearing it I don't like that the 'holster' for the controller is at the back (well it is for me anyway) making it extra bulky and visible under clothing even when wearing a loose fitting summer dress. ( I like to wear it in the garden, but feel self-consncious if anyone is around) The cons are nit-picky really, and that is why I still give this belt a five. I have had no technical difficulties with it and one of the settings even gives me some pain relief, like a TENS machine would, but much stronger. I did buy this belt for toning, and I use it every day. The pain relief setting I found was quite by accident and I see it as an added bonus for me. I am assured that a belt with a cordeless controller is being developed, I can't wait! The seller is very attentive, very helpful and very courteous. Another reason for the 5 stars.

Good bit of kit but batteries supplied were rusty and unusable. Maybe needs checking before sending out for delivery

The Build of this toning belt feels good quality and it is comfortable to wear, it feels like it would last a long time if treated right, It’s suitable for average sized people but not big enough for those that are slightly larger. the images are very exaggerated and it needs to be clear that you will not achieve those results without having defined abs already. The intensity is not as strong as other Ab toners, this one did not contract the muscles with any intensity. Unfortunately the belt that i had had 2 faulty connection pads and they did not produce more than a surface tingle on the skin which was uncomfortable. Thankfully i was able to return this for a full refund.

I never write reviews on products straight away I like to use them first, I order this back in March, been using it for 4 months, absolutely love it, there is no down falls

Item arrived within 1 day of purchase - amazing. Inside is the belt, attached remote, gel, manual and batteries. All comes in a small case. Manual/Set up/Start up was really easy and simple. There are 4 pads (2 in the middle of belt and 2 on the side) on the inside of the belt, to which you can control the pairs separately on the remote. 10 modes (5 for warm up and 5 for intense abdominal pulses). 99 intensity levels. No explanation really of what the 10 modes are or pulses that they do, you must go through them, see what you like and see which intensity suits you best. I use to use the abdominal gel/stick on toning products but thought I'd change to something more secure and can actually move about in without worring if it will fall off. You must use the gel that comes with the belt, to lubricate the pads on the belt (I use literally two drops per pad it spreads lovely and does the job, had no problems using this amount. Plus the tube of gel will last you ages!!) The velcro that secures the belt on your person is pretty decent, strong, doesn't feel loose at all. I like mine really tight so I get the maximum pulses on my abdominal area. I must say, I don't regret buying it (yet). I've read the reviews of this eating away the batteries, breaking, faulty remote etc etc.. I have not experienced this as of yet. I have also read of people see no difference/no effect of the belt. You have to keep climbing up the intensity ladder and try different modes. Switch your routine up as it suggests in the manual. You will not get any benefit of this belt if you keep it on a low intensity, as well as the same mode. Period. You honestly will feel like your abdominal has had a workout with this belt. I use this to tone on high intensities switching modes every day so cannot comment on pain relief as I'm use to these pulses through use of similar products. To many I'm sure it's uncomfortable but once you get use to the initial shock, you can push yourself to higher intensities and switch the modes up. Find out what works best for you. Everyone's body is different so dont be despaired if you're not seeing results as fast as some of the other reviews are saying. Keep at it!

I bought it but it's not working I gave five days time after accepting the return request but today it's been ten days no one contacted me my experience has been very bad

Muy bueno y funciona correctamente. Me acaba de llegar y quiero decir q Si trae instrucciones en español

Che dire su questo prodotto... Ora io vengo da un compex, chiaro non ha nulla a che vedere in rapporto, però devo dire una cosa, comodità eccezionale, fa il suo lavoro in modo ottimo per il prezzo che viene pagato e chiaramente è focalizzato esclusivamente all'addome, l ho preso essenzialmente perché praticando sport quasi ogni giorno ed incuriosito dalle recensioni volevo provarlo per alternarlo appunto al compex, soprattutto anche per la praticità del prodotto e per vedere se puntando solo alla parte addominali si vedesse qualche risultato differente. Chiaramente l' ho provato oggi soltanto in quanto mi è appena arrivato munito di batterie AA. Ovvio una persona non può pretendere che usando solo questo prodotto ti salti fuori in 5 minuti la tartaruga o si pensi ad un dimagrimento, ma alternato ad allenamenti e costanza è un sostegno decente. Non è un top, ma per il lavoro che deve fare e rapporto qualità prezzo lo consiglio ottimo complimenti.

The product was a very light belt and gives little tickle to almost nothing. Very disappointed 🙁

Belt dies not work. Turned on but unable to set intensity level just kept turning off. Will return
