Do abdominal belts work?
On One Hand: Some Stimulation is ProvidedAn abdominal belt uses electricity to stimulate your abdominal muscles. The claim is that it will help you burn fat and achieve great abs. If you are completely inactive, the abdominal belt will provide your abdominals with some stimulation. Although the belt won’t yield any major results, it is more beneficial to use it than to do nothing at all.On the Other: Don’t Expect to See ResultsAlthough many abdominal belt manufacturers claim that their product will increase abdominal strength and burn fat, according to Fabio Comana, an exercise physiologist at the American Council on Exercise, you should not expect to see any results. Without dieting and exercise, the belt alone will not help you burn fat or build muscle.Bottom LineIf you are looking to really burn fat and improve your abdominal muscles, the best way to do so is through dieting and exercise.
