At first glance the Contour Ab Belt
is sleek, modern and has a contemporary look. The Contour Ab Belt is made of a nice light weight breathable material.
The controller is significantly sharper looking then other units we looked at and the LED screen is easily read.
The screen is easy to read and the controller beeps when you change settings. While the Contour is one of the highest quality ab belts on the market there are drawbacks. The controller is bigger than the other units we looked at and wearing the belt discreetly can be difficult. The manufacturer claims that this is due to having a much more powerful device and as I have increased the intensity over time and never maxed out the unit I believe the claim to be true.
I was impressed with how clear the directions and ease of use was for the Contour Ab belt.
I started by watching the instructional DVD. This was a huge help in understanding how the belt is setup and operates. I assembled the belt easily placing the 4 gel pads where specified and started with a three minute warm up program.
Contour Ab Belt intensity level started at 1%
on both the left and right sides. As I began to move up the level of intensity I could feel the flexing of all of my ab muscles increase significantly and positively.
The four pads hit every part of my stomach making for a full abdominal workout.
The different levels and workout programs allow the user to customize the belt for specific work outs in conjunction with physical exercise, activity and recovery.
For me a great addition is the back pad option. I use the same belt and add the back attachment. I can really feel the contractions think that the belt has greatly improved my posture. Thank you Contour Ab Belt.
