Summary |
Rio Ab Belt is an EMS enhanced ab belt that claims to provide users with a targeted approach to eliminating stomach fat. Some ab belts are designed to be used during an actual workout to super heat the core so that fat burning is enhanced, but the Rio Ab Belt was actually designed to do a stomach fat workout for you by using EMS or electrical muscle stimulation technology. For decades now EMS has been used by doctors and physical therapists to prevent muscle atrophy and to rehab muscles. The Rio Ab Belt uses this technology to provide user’s healthy, yet flabby, core muscles with a core training workout. Let’s take a closer look to see how it works.

| Qualities |
|
The Rio Ab Belt is designed to be worn around the mid section, just like a workout belt, except that it’s slim enough to be worn under your clothing. Once the belt is in place, and you turn it on, the Rio Ab Belt emits the EMS impulses we mentioned above, which then stimulate the lower, middle, upper, and oblique muscles so that they begin to do a prescribed series of contractions and releases. When you do any core training workout, or work any other muscles in the body for that matter, the contractions caused by the workout are what builds strength and tone.
The fact that the Rio Ab Belt causes this to happen without actual exercise means that users can do anything they want to while their core works itself out; they can play, work, go for a walk, or even watch some TV and still get in an ab toning workout. The Rio Ab Belt is blue, adjustable, and can fit users with waistlines between 24 to 48 inches.

| Final Facts |

Lastly, the Rio Ab Belt’s use of EMS technology means that it’s often discussed by consumers on forums and discussion boards, which can be a great way to get the inside track on any kind of core trainer or fitness system.
