Abs Stimulator, Portable EMS Abdominal Muscle Toner for Home and Office Fitness, Strength Training - Black

According to the short user guide included in the package, there are 12 modes and 19 intensity levels available. Modes 1-3 are good for fat loss, modes 4-5 for muscle building, modes 6-8 for burning fat, and modes 9-10 are for body sculping, and modes 11-12 are for muscle strengthening.I like alternately using mode 5 stimulate my abs muscle, then use mode 6 to burn fat.If you feel tingly using the abs stimulator, this maybe due to either the contact pads being too dry or your skin being too dry. So it is always a good idea to spray down all the contact pads with some water or moisten them with a wet towel.This is the best Abs stimulator I've bought so far. I like that the contact pads are permanent and doesn't need to be replaced, unlike the designs I bought previously where the pads are sticky and needs to be replaced after some use. After putting on the Abs stimulator, I can do other things while the unit is working on my body.The price is also reasonable for the high performance and the well designed product. The fastener is designed to easily adjust the length for a snug fit. If the product is adjusted to be too loose, the contact pads will not make good pads and you may get unpleasant tingly feeling.The control buttons are easy to operate. Press the "+" button for 2-3 seconds to turn on the stimulator. Then you can tap it a few times to increase the intensity. The intensity goes from 0 to 19. The duration starts from 20 minutes and it can be dialed down if desired. The "-" key is used to decrease the intensity or press it for 2-3 seconds to turn off the stimulator. Tap on the "M" key to move between the 12 modes. It takes about 40 minutes to fully charge the product, which provides enough energy for several hours of use. When the unit is charging, the red led turns on to indicate that it is charging. It goes off when the charging is complete.When connecting the control unit onto the belt, ensure that it is mounted upside down so that you can see the numbers easily when looking down on the unit to adjust the modes and times.

I have tried several "stimulating belts" in the past which either felt like a tickle (and absolutely no result or even any slight soreness after use), or on the contrary would feel like 10,000 volts went through me, even on low setting, making it unbearable to wear and my whole stomach area sore for days...This belt has 12 settings for various results and 19 intensity levels. I started off at level 8 and gradually increased to 19, always bracing myself for that huge shock but that was not the case. Up to level 10 you can feel a gentle current go through your muscles with various patterns, depending on the mode you choose but it gets interesting from level 15 to 19 where it feels like you are getting a stomach massage and the muscles are being stimulated but without the pain. The muscles contract and move with the current going through them but there is never that sharp pain, like being stabbed by a jolt of electricity. It is very progressive. I personally like the muscle building mode (level 19) as the patterns cover the whole front as well as the sides and partnered up with a level 16-19 intensity it gives your stomach muscles a really good workout without having to leave your sofa! I personally prefer standing up and doing some mild exercises at the same time as each ideal session lasts 20 minutes. And there is absolutely no acute soreness the next day but you do feel a tightness and that your muscles have worked hard which is what we want. I have been using this belt for 3 days now and already feel my abs tighten up and what I think is some superficial fat gently burning away. My belt is getting a bit looser for sure!This is a great piece of easy workout kit for home.

3 months after purchase just stopped working. No longer holds a charge or pulses.

Very powerful, there is a delay between setting and starting, highly recommend waiting til it starts to adjust strength. The buttons are large enough and simple to use but the screen is small on mode readings but pretty simple to know what setting you are on. I wear a 38" waist pants and belt is snug, I would say if 40" or higher this would not fit without a Velcro extender. Program runs 20 minutes but I usually run it twice.

The belt has different sizes and works well. Simple to use and the directions are clear. Be ready for the shocking sensation if you haven't used one before.

I can’t find a good program with the right intensity!

Not what I expected overall just another tens unit

This works great! If you've ever used a tens machine for muscle stimulation then that's what this feels like.I'm a 2xl sized gal and this fits around me perfectly! I don't even notice I'm wearing it half the time.I haven't been using it long enough to really notice any results to tell you about but it feels great.
