Thanks for this very informative site. It’s good to view all the different experiences and see some professional opinions as well. I have been in the dance and fitness industry for over 25 years. There is NO substitution for hard work and exercise. However, for some of us who are getting AHEM over 40 and have have children–facts are facts. I teach 8 classes a week. I do tons of various adminal workouts etc. The bottom line is this, I am fit, not overweight, but my midline for some reason is loose and flabby looking. I’m very frustrated. Many women in my classes and fellow instructors voice the same frustrations. I don’t want a tummy tuck which what I keep hearing is the answer. I CAN’T workout in a gym 2-4 hours a day. Not in my schedule w/ kids and working. I need a little something extra to help me over my ab hurdle. I think the Flex belt will be my answer. I was afraid to fork out the money until I came acrossed this web site and saw the testimonies. Thanks all….you rock!
