Property me after my older Beurer-abdominal belt had had its day, made exactly the same model again and the time in between, so quite "no", already missing something! The muscle trainer alone probably takes effect only in conjunction with regular aerobic exercise (not necessarily high-performance sports), with me, a daily half-hour on the exercise bike! Then wellness program with Bath & Beurer; o) The belt is to be adjusted such that a session between 20 and 30 minutes takes. This but you can verplanen loosely at your desk! And after a while you realize in certain situations, but that one has a few abdominal muscles and that one has the impression of tighter overall shape. Conclusion: See not only as a (sole) silver bullet against extra holiday pounds - it's not going only in conjunction with a healthy diet and daily snacks sports. Only in this combination provides the abdominal muscle trainer is a useful and pleasant (wellness) supplement to round out his daily wellness program! Thus, highly recommended, good value for money!
