Let me start off by saying that I did not buy into this "fab", my Mom did. After seeing tons of advertisements, commercials, and seeing them in stores, some people get the idea that they work just as good as they say. I know my mother did. Anyways, long story short, after buying one she quickly became tired of it, and dropped the belt and went on with her life.

I decided that I would not let money go to waste. I would write in a journal how it really worked for me, and how it feels and my views on it. This article will not feature any charts, it is just a straight forward article. So without further writing, I will start.

The name of the belt will remain unnamed. I regulated the food I ate, just to get that out of the way before we start.

Day one

I started off by watching the long boring video that was included with the belt. I read the handbook that came along with it. All this was done, so I did exactly what they said, so that I would get "great results".

I applied that belt over my abs. The instant you turn it on, there is this very annoying feeling. The only word I can come up with is that ...
... it feels like my abs were being electrocuted. As lame as that explanation may be, it's the only one I can come up with. So I turn it off, look at it closely, and come up with the conclusion that what I felt is normal with the product.

I put it on, for 15 minutes. During the 15 minutes, it feels very annoying. They stated that you can put it on and go on about your day. While it was on, my body was being jerked around by that electricity. If I were to have this on and walk around, I would not look normal, as if I had some kind of disease. So I sat down and played some music, and worked on the computer. All this time I am trying to write a paper for school. I find it impossible to do so, because I keep missing the keys on the keyboard, as if someone kept pushing you when you were about to type each and every word.

After my 15 minutes were up, I took of the belt and I was truly amazed at what I found. My abs felt like I just did nothing for 15 minutes. Every time I work my abs, I feel the work I have done. With this belt, I felt nothing. I decide that I will go on with the process, and that it may be just a part of how it works.

Day two

I felt no soreness this morning; I usually do when I do my abs. Again, I felt that it was part of the process. I placed the belt in the exact same place. To make sure it was in the same place I had marked the center of the area with a marker (as bad as it may sound, I still did it). This was so that I get the same effect every time I did the "workout". I turn on the belt to the same setting, and let it go again for 15 minutes, again, same "workout" every time.

I find that I cannot get used to the feeling of the belt. Some things you can get used to, I don't see how I can get used to this. I go about my business while having the belt on, keeping a close eye to my watch. I take it off, and again felt nothing.

Fast forward... Day 7

Been doing the same thing, seen no progress, but its only been a week.

Fast forward... Day 14

No progress, I miss my Ab workouts. But I must go on, for the sack of science. The AB belt is still annoying as ever. I have decided that this will be my last week.

Last day

Having had no success with the belt, I decided to place it away. The belt like most other things you see on TV, are never as good as they say.

I will have to say that electronic Ab products do not work as good as they say, in my opinion they don't work at all. I have been to the chiropractor before, and there they have muscle stimulators. These products are meant for relieving muscles. Ab belts follow the same exact method, release electricity into the muscle to make it contract. Except they twist words, and say that it will tone and build muscles.
I recently came across a blog post about popular ab product Ab Rocker. The post suggests it's junk and explains why all infomercial products are junk. It also suggests a book about the most effective ab exercises and the truth that other fitness programs don't discuss. I got the book. I love it and I recommend it. You can check it out here
