Looking at whether equipment like the Contour Ab Belt provide benefits for a better looking mid-section
Many of the newest products in the fitness market aimed at giving people better looking abdominal muscles come from the same angle.
That is: how can a new product bring results in a different way than what was used in the past? Another way of saying this is how can we avoid the old “stand by” of ab work of either sit up or a crunch?
Some responses to this question come in the form of floor contraptions that help you do a more effective crunch. The problem is people don’t find these all that much more enticing.
Exercise science is exploring what causes us to have great looking abs and through the last few years has stumbled upon some findings that turn the whole thing on it’s head.
First, there is an emerging school of thought that standing up and doing full body moves, with or without weights, will sculpt the whole core giving a person a great looking mid-section. People find this much preferable to the old sit down exercises.
Beyond that, there is the even more interesting yet highly questioned belt for abs approach. This can be seen in the Contour Ab Belt.
The Contour Ab Belt is designed to create the internal contraction effect of a crunch without a person being interrupted to actually do the crunch.
The Contour Ab Belt has received excellent reviews from users who have seen much improved ab results. The benefits are that you are subtly exercising the core muscles that make up the abs in a way not unlike you sitting down and doing a floor ab routine.
It is worth noting that the core ab routine that is properly laid out and supervised by a trainer likely will better isolate and bring results over a shorter period of time than the Contour Ab Belt.
Contour Ab Belt is meant as a replacement for boring and back wrenching sit-ups. The claim is not made that the Contour is better than a great ab routine.
In terms of avoiding the least liked part of ab work: the stuff on the floor, the Contour Ab Belt is a suitable alternative. Admittedly it is far from perfect though.
The other huge benefit of a belt for abs is that they can be used while you are going about your day and can even be worn under clothing. So you are achieving gains, however slight, while you focus on life.Maximizing Your GSP RushFit Workout Results: A Comprehensive Guide
