So I've been doing curlups for a WHILEE now, but the closest I've gotten to 'abs' is the formation of some lines, not really muscle. I was really thinking of buying a 'heat belt'. I'm not sure of how many people have heard of this, but there's a commercial/infomercial about this. It's basically a wrap you can put around your stomach (or theighs, if you want) which makes you sweat, revealing your muscle under fat.
It's basically a sauna effect only on the area it's covering. =P
I was just wondering if anyone actually knew how well this worked. How long does it take to see results? And, does it help in actually losing weight, along with exercise?

It doesn't work- don't waste your money and don't even waste your time.
Bullshit products are huge in the fitness world and I find ads like these unfair to the uneducated on the topic and insulting to those who are fitness savvy.
Don't listen to anyone who says it actually works because they're either lying or just stupid lol.
Don't look for shortcuts because there aren't any- I'll say it again in caps:
THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS
hard work is the key and the only way to yield results. Sorry if I shattered your image on how to do it but it's just the truth. [ MikeCFT's advice column | Ask MikeCFT A Question ]
