Summary |
The Sport Elec Vibrating Belt is a fitness device that is another example of a very popular type of product on the market today: the exercise or fitness belt. The Sport Elec Vibrating Belt was designed to enhance abdominal tone and flatten stomach muscles, but it can be used on the hips, buttocks, thighs, arms, or any other problem areas where it can be securely strapped to the body.
Sport Elec Vibrating Belt uses an oscillating massage function to accomplish its toning work. Interestingly, the Sport Elec Vibrating Belt is no longer carried on the Sport Elec website, as it has been replaced by a Electric Muscle Stimulation, or EMS, version. Sport Elec is not alone in doing this. Many companies have moved from heat and massage belts to EMS technology.
The Sport Elec Vibrating Belt remains available from retailers. It comes with no third party clinical trial reports or FDA approval or disapproval, unlike The Flex Belt, which uses EMS technology and is FDA cleared for tightening, toning, and strengthening the abdominals. The Sport Elec Vibrating Belt will require no assembly, but it will take batteries to function properly. It evidently comes with a handheld remote for controlling the massage. Users will not need to exercise while using it, but it is reported that its effects will be enhanced if the user is actively engaged in fitness work at other times throughout the day.

Sport Elec, as noted, has moved to a different tactic for fitness belts. The Sport Elec website is the place to visit for more information on the current version of the belt. The company offers 30 day trial of its new belt. However, it seems that information on satisfaction guarantee and product warranty is not available unless the site visitor enters purchasing information.
