Scoop on Vibrating Belts for abs??

[Lees Dragon]

Yo.. Whats the deal on those so called "body-building/fat burning belts"?

You know, we always see them on commercials. 'Wear this belt for one hour a day and you'll have a six pack in three months' or something like that.

I wanna know: Whats the real scoop on these "vibrating belts"?
Do they do anything?
Burn calories?
Build muscle?
Waste money for absolutely no result?

They've been buggin me for a long time....
Whats the truth on them?

PS....No I dont use them, nor do I have one, and I dont plan on buying one. I'm just curious.:tongue:

They send an electric shock which causes your muscles to contract.

That's about all.

You have one and use it, you cannot fool us.

They are best utilized by strapping them to your face as a form of electro-shock treatment.

Everytime you ask stupid questions, hit the switch.

have fun buddy.

I don't think he means thoose "muscle-building"-electric thingts, rather thoose who vibrate and are supposed to increase bloodflow and loose fat in just a magical 2 minutes a day. Call within 15 minutes and get this Star Wars replica, worth $0.90.

Yeah that's what I was thinking.

The truth is I dont have one, but know of someone who does havesomething like that.
The point of my question was to see if "by vibrating it somehow burns calories, or improves muscle endurance or somethin along these lines". I wanted to know, because i was thinking if it did any of those things, i could wear one while i'm sittin in the car or while im on the net or some other none-movement activity.

Point is, now i'm completely sure that it does nothing and is useless. Thank you.
