Abs Toning
![]() |
Some of the best selling fitness equipment in the world today are ab-toning belts. These are devices which you place around your stomach and which send an electric current through your abs. The claim is that this electric current forces your ab muscles to contract without you having to make a focused effort.
It is these involuntary contractions that develop your ab muscles and help you burn belly fat fast.
The question is whether these ab toning belts really work or are they useless for abdominal fat loss.
The answer is that while EMS (electric muscle stimulation) is still used by medical professionals to treat injuries or extreme muscular dysfunction, these treatments use weak electric currents and are not used for muscle development. After having consulted with a physiotherapist, I was informed that while this kind of electric stimulation could, in theory, work for muscle development in healthy people, the level of shock required to really get any kind of muscular stimulation will be so strong that you will not be able to stand it.
This kind of shock will be painful, not just uncomfortable. The truth is that ab toning belts don't give you the kind of shock which will get your muscles to really work. You may think that you're getting a workout, but it's no where near as effective as it should be.
The other problem with the claims that these ab belts work is that they suggest that you can lose belly fat by working out your ab muscles. This is a false assumption as it has already been proven that there is no such thing as spot fat reduction. You don't lose fat specifically from the body part you workout. Your body burns fat as one single unit or not at all.
Therefore, you will not be able to lose stomach fat by wearing an electric ab belt. It will simply not work as it's not how our body works.
Therefore, I believe that ab toning belts do not work. The real solution will come from real workouts and a sensible eating routine.
