Ab Belt Review: Contour Belt, Slendertone & Flex Belt compared!

Last update: 02/24/2010

Ab toning belts are more than just another piece of exercise equipment. They use the same technology that has been used on physical therapy patients for over twenty years. These ab belts are made with gel pads that fit over your abdominal muscles. The ab belt sends a charge through the gel pads to the muscles underneath, then to the muscles that branch out from there. The signals reach all of your abdominal muscles, causing them to flex and contract. That means your abdominal muscles can work by themselves to make them stronger and more toned.

How much do I have to exercise?

You don’t. That’s the great thing about using an ab belt. It doesn’t matter if you exercise already or not at all. It makes your abdominal muscles contract by themselves, so they work out even if you don’t. The ab belts are designed to work for all ages, all fitness levels, at all stages of your life. You can wear an abdominal belt while you exercise, do chores, watch TV or just sit at a desk. 30 minutes a day is all it takes to let your ab belt take your muscles from flabby to fit.
The only thing that will limit the results you get is the quality of the ab belt you use!

The Flex belt is the highest quality ab belt you can get. It’s also known as Slendertone System Abs and hence it’s officialy the next generation of the Slendertone Flex. Just read the ab belt reviews and you will see that more people who have used the Flex belt have gotten better results than those using other types of ab belts. For $199.99, you get the Flex Belt abdominal toning belt, the rechargeable battery pack, extension for larger waists, carrying case, and a user’s manual. The Flex belt is easy to use, and works for everyone.

The Contour Belt (also known as Contour Abs, Contour Ab Belt and Contour Core Sculpting System) is available for $199.80, but doesn’t have quite the high quality of construction and performance or ease of operation of the Flex belt. Since the price is nearly the same as the Flex belt, the Flex belt is obviously the better value for your money. Still, it’s not a bad choice! Check out the Ab Belt Review table to see how you think the quality compares to that of the other ab belts.

The Slendertone Flex belt is $150. Since it’s the previous model of the Flex belt it comes with some of the same features as the Flex belt, but does not doesn’t offer the quality of construction and performance. It comes in one size that fits “most”. It does, however, provide a good abdominal workout for those who want to invest a little less on their fitness and well-being. There is no money back guarantee offered, which is of slight concern. But taking into account it’s price, this is a fair deal!

Update: The Sport-Elec Shap’n'Tone is new on the market and costs only $150.00. It doesn’t have the manufacturing quality of the Contour Abs and the Flex belt and it has been reported to show rather decent results. Concerning ab toning effectiveness the Sportelec Shape’n'Tone ab belt seems to be identical with the Slendertone Flex! Unfortunately it also comes with no money back guarantee.

Conclusion

If you want to improve the condition of your abs, then there’s no doubt that using an electronic ab belt to give you the strength and tone you want makes sense. It also makes sense to check out the ab belt review table above and compare the ab belts to see which one you think is going to give you the best results you can get for your money.
If quality and results is the most important for you the Flex Belt is the ab belt of your choice! If you want to believe the hype on TV, the Contour Abs is also a good choice and still has been reported to show decent results.
