Flex those ab muscles -- sort of

We always hear how doing a few crunches and sit-ups a day can help us to achieve that coveted six-pack ("washboard abs") in no time, but are these claims for real? Most of us know today that no matter how many ab workouts you do to strengthen the abs, unless you're also burning the fat off you will not see the fruits of your labor. That's why it might help to seek alternative methods for slimming down and strengthening the abs and waistline.

While many men take supplements to meet their overall health and weight loss needs, more and more men are reportedly looking into how an ab-toning belt can help them reach their goals to slim down. The FlexBelt, for instance, utilizes a form of technology called Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS), which targets all the hard to reach areas of the abs such as the obliques and the lower abs.
