Be careful before buying this type of belt, people suffering from vascular, heart or other problems ... must be very careful about its use or even not to use it at all.
Comfort of use and Practicality
The use itself is rather easy and quick. You just need to choose a program and its intensity via the box. The only downside and not the least, the explanatory note is only in English. Impossible to understand the operation if you do not have some basic knowledge.
In addition, the manual is not very practical and not well explained. No indication of duration is provided by the manufacturer (apart from 10 minutes per day). It is therefore impossible to know how many sessions are necessary to obtain a result.
The belt is equipped with a compartment for the batteries, which allows a certain autonomy and therefore the practice of other activities while in use, unlike other belts of the same type like the
Dual Shaper for example. At first the system may surprise. In just one minute, you get a minimum of 400 muscle contractions. But you get used to it pretty quickly.
In terms of comfort, the positive point is that it is possible to move the pads (electrodes) in the belt , which allows you to more precisely target the desired muscle groups, even if the contact points are fixed. The other advantage of the Ab Tronic is the additional belt provided for working out muscle groups that is not necessarily accessible with the larger main belt. Efficiency
We have been using it for a month and obviously haven't noticed little progress or transformation. You can feel the work and the firming on the abs and the back (especially the next day) but do not count on this belt to obtain convincing results.
Regarding weight loss, the product clearly does not keep its promises. We used it for half an hour a day for almost 3 weeks and saw no difference. No wonder, since we know that EMS (or electrostimulation) cannot target fat in your stomach or any other part of your body. In any case, no study to date proves it.
Regarding muscle toning, on the other hand, effects are visible and noticeable after a week. We used it for the abdominals as well as the glutes or thighs. But then again don't expect extraordinary results. The contraction is passive, so the muscles are not engaged as they might be in standard exercise.
Reliability / Durability
Like a
Dual Shaper , this is a very unreliable device. We have noticed a lot of problems with Internet users who have this belt (reliability problem often mentioned) and we have even encountered bugs. The build quality is poor, the controller button is weak, and the product only works one in three times. In addition, it is impossible to initialize the screen in relation to the instructions (batteries, locking, etc.).
And even if the price is very affordable, this in no way justifies the poor build quality and sporadic reliability. In the same price range, there are much better built devices, like the
belt Beurer EM 35 .
