waste of money, only good if you can see your abs in the first place and by then you won't need one

well i know u can use ab belts on your biceps etc..if there is already little muscle there would and ab belt help show it off more :S

I watched this program last night like a really fat women 26 stone and a guy who weigh 8 st 7LB or so his diet was a scrambled egg sandwich everyday and 4 glasses of pure orange juice :P anyway they had 20 welsh women with huge asses.. and they made them stand on like a electronic surfboard to tone their butts....after a few weeks they had indeed lost on average of 2 inches of fat on their butts.. Maybe the when something automatically stimulates your muscles etc maybe it can work?

i think electric pulse would stress your muscle and cause them to break i dont think you would get far with these belts alone but maybe some where?

Because agencies suck

The last 2 jobs I have had, they laid off all the temps. Most recently on monday, the agency I was with placed someone there in the morning which was meant to be for full time hours and she was gone by the afternoon.

I personally believe it is because the town is so small, when I lived in northants I was never out of work for so long, I am still plugging away, handing out CVs and filling application forms in though. And still working at the nightclub too.

Aside from medical units (that you cant get) theres no real value to these units. i used to have a old school one that you conected useing the patches all over your body like some sort of experment lol.

Its very strange feeling, there is some toneing effect but its minimal and it took HOURS of quite painfull sesion.

The older ones had much higher settings than you get on the new ones on offer, thus the stimulation was much greater it looks like your having some sort of sesure with the old units (especialy on the legs).

I dont recomend this, Mel Siff dosent recomend it outside of a medical setting.

Just train with weights, or bodyweight its much better.
