Body Vibes Review

The Body Vibes adjustable sport belt is designed to monitor your abdominal muscles by giving silent and gentle vibrations every time they relax. The vibrations are used as a reminder for you to sit up straight and contract your abdominal muscles. 

While the Body Vibes may help your posture, it is not going to help you lose weight.  The abdominal muscles are small muscles so contracting your stomach alone is not going to burn enough calories to help you shed away the unwanted fat around the midsection.  Light abdominal contractions will strengthen your muscles to some extent but don’t expect to exceed the results of doing stomach exercises such as crunches or leg raises.

The overall reviews that we have seen for the Body Vibes system are pretty mixed.  While some people claim to have lost weight with the Body Vibes abdominal belt, most of the customer reviews state that the system was better for correcting posture than assisting in weight loss.

It is hard to believe that the reviewers who claimed to lose weight actually did so from just using the Body Vibes belt.  Sitting up straight and flexing the abdominal muscles alone is not going to burn fat.  Any product that claims to do so is only misleading.  

Also, we should point out that in April of 2000 the Body Vibes company received a warning letter from the FDA for a marketing regulation issue.  You can read the full letter at http://www.casewatch.org/fdawarning/prod/2000/bodyvibes.shtml
