I'm curious to know wheter these things actually work in toning muscles.
And please dont reply with "diet and excersise is the only way to loose weight"!
I have a healthy diet and weight, and I do 4 hours cardio a week!
It's toning muscles, not losing weight I'm interested in.
I just cant seem to tone my tummy muscles and was wondering if this is worth a try?

You're right, there's a difference in toning muscles and losing excess fat. Those ab toning belts you're talking about, ( I assume you mean the ones that give you little electric zaps that are supposed to stimulate your muscles) are useless. I read a study that was performed that proved it.
I've had great results with Pilates. The exercises tone ALL your core muscles, upper, lower, and sides, with an added bonus of back muscles too. The thing I like best is that it takes very little time each day, and shows quick results. I just got a video workout to start, then when I improved, moved into different moves I learned from books.
Don;t waste your money on the belt things though!

Yes. It's called Divine Laziness, and Ignorant Design. Ignorant Design comes into it when people answer a completely different question to what was asked, or choose to rant instead of answering. A lovely example I once had was a cut'n'paste that filled the page, but did not answer the question at all. I've also had a few people who completely ignore the question itself, and just say stuff like 'I agree'. Okay, you agree. Fair enough, now would you like to tell me your answer at any time? Divine Laziness is the other great religious reason for not reading. It takes the form of a question format (I'll steal your example): Q: Why don't Xs ever seem to tolerate Ys? QD: I don't personally think there's many Xs who dislike Ys, it's just a small minority who tend to be extremely rude and disgusting in their attitudes. A case of the noisiest few, so to speak. What's your opinion on this? A: We're not ALL like that!!! Stop being so judgemental!! ummmm.....READ IT NEXT TIME!!!! lol. ((((hugs))))
