Helloooooo

Always been tempted by them! I asked an instructor at the gym and she said they are VERY good if you're already quite lean - she tried some and felt like she'd been punched. They give your abs a good workout but don't reduce your 'flop' if it's big...... as she said to me, "you do so much exercise you've probably got abs of steel under that flab"

Charming!!

Well, I ordered one anyway - just cant wait for it to drop through the door - the advert says one woman lost 5 inches!!! I'm a sucker for their sales techniques!

Don't know if it's quite the same thing, but about 4 years ago I bought a set of pads (look like what they put on sick people in hospital) and they sent what felt like an electric shock through the part of your body you put them on.

They claimed that you could carry on doing housework etc whilst wearing it, but every time the pulse went through my (rather slack) abs it made me jump and I sort of jerked through the house looking like I was some sort of robotic dancer.

Didn't see any change, but felt better for the 'exercise'

Tee hee

Well my fast abs arrived at the weekend & I must admit all I can feel is a slight tingling on my stomach - I think its because of all the flab.

I have tried it on my upper arms (Nan's bingo arms!!) and I can feel it there - so hopefully at least my arms will get toned - which is better than nothing hey!!
