So does this burn the fat? Or just tone me muscles? Can someone reply?

[Chews4HealthInc]

These exercises tone and build muscles. The bigger the muscle, the more calories and fat it can burn. Combine these toning exercises with fat-burning cardio activities for best results!

@X3AmychanX3 It won't give you ab's, it will flatten or "tone" your stomach. You need strong and toned ab's first in order to get ab's.

I'm not an expert but PE is my best subject - To start of you need to do it about 3-4 times a week, and maybe about 4-5 times a day for 30 - 40 seconds, then once your muscles adapt to it, you need to gradually increase it. Do it 4-5 times a week and add 5 seconds on to however long you were holding them for.

Tone just means tight if you didn't know :)

When he asks "where you feel it burning" it sounds like she says "my ass"

Thinking about trying this because sit ups are just not working for me! But i would really appreciate someone honestly telling me it works or not. I dont want to waste my time on this if it does not. And if someone has benifited from this, how long does it take to see results?

@Soccerchicka9021 He never said it hurts your stomach. He said its a waste of time to do sit up because it only targets 2 of the 12 muscles in your abbs.

He specifically said it hurts your neck and your back. Which is true. They made us do these excercises when i was in tennis, i have a bad neck and back because of it.
