Will “The Flex Belt” Give Me a Six Pack?

Q

Hey Sam, I’m working on my “six pack” and I stumbled on the Flex Belt today and I’m interested, especially after having read a lot of positive reviews. What are your thoughts? This of course would be an addition to regular exercise and diet. —Jeremy, Los Angeles

the ab belt Will The Flex Belt Give Me a Six Pack?

Here’s a fitness axiom: there’s no shortcut to real results.

In my humble opinion, the Flex Belt is just modern snake oil.  While I disagree with the science behind the product, I also don’t know anyone who’s owned one, so I decided to investigate. I did several news searches and found no editorial articles that weren’t copied word-for-word (or pretty close) from the company press releases. I did however stumble upon this post on “Today’s Distraction,” a blog about, you guessed it: distractions.

My advice? Do more cardio. And save the $200 and spend the money you save on a Zig Zag Meal Plan, so that your personally tweaked nutrition strategy will take you all the way to your goal.  And find a cardiovascular activity that you love. Here’s why that’s a better investment.

    Beware of the FlexBelt! It is far more expensive than what it is worth. I put it on high settings and still didn’t get the soreness or burning you get after a good ab workout.

    It claims that you can pay as little as $7.95 for shipping, but that is “greyed out” and you are forced to get the expedited shipping of $15. When I sent back the belt in the exact same packaging and way it came, it only cost me $5.80.

    Then, the FINE PRINT is… “Any order can be returned for a 100% refund within 60 days from the date you place your order. No questions asked. A restocking fee of $7.95 plus expedited shipping charges will apply to all returns.”

    100% refund?! Yeah right! What part of $7.95 restocking plus expedited shipping charges is 100%?? They know you’re going to send back the belt (or they hope you forget about it and don’t send it back within the 60 days) — so they try to milk as much money on the front and back end as they can!!
