Answer by joE4
Here is a video of exercises — no equipment needed. You can do 3 or all of the exercises; 15 to 20 minutes session 2 or 3 days a week.

For abs, these 2 exercises — bicycle crunch and leg-lift:

Start slow ‘cuz these are not as easy as they look. For first 2 weeks , do as much as you can for 30 or 40 seconds; then rest 1 minute. Do another 30 seconds; rest 1-minute. Do another 30-seconds.

For 3rd week and forward, increase the exercise time (but keep the 1-minute rest).

Ab exercise equipment such as ab crunch machines, exercise balls and ab wheel rollers are all revolutionary devices that have made amazing abs more attainable, but it is the taboo topic of the ab belt that I feel the need to discuss. Ab belts are belts which use electric muscle stimulation (EMS) to force the abdominal muscles to contract and release on their own, thereby simulating an actual abdominal workout.

Unlike other ab exercise equipment, the ab belt does all the work, leaving you time to do the important things in life, like surf through articles online!

So now you are wondering, does the ab belt actually work? Almost a decade ago, when ab belts were introduced by companies such as Ab Force and Fast Abs, the name of the ab exercise equipment was temporarily tarnished by the companies’ great claims and small results.

However, in recent years, after new developments in technology, thousands of consumers have reported seeing a big difference in the strength and appearance of their abs. Companies marketing these belts now also recommend partnering the use of this ab exercise equipment with sensible eating and regular exercise. Otherwise saying, while you do not have to be an exercise and diet fiend to see results using these ab belts, I most certainly would not advise you to wear one while eating an entire cheese cake or pumpkin pie and expect to see drastic (positive) results!

Alright, so the ab belt works, but is it safe? I admit that sending a charge through your body to force your abdominal muscles to exercise themselves does sound pretty wonky! However, doctors and physical therapists have been using EMS technology for almost forty years to help rehabilitate their patients. Safe? I dare say so, but don’t take my word for it. Many ab belts currently on the market have been approved for use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Ultimately, only you can decide if the ab belt is right for you!

Don’t forget to consult a physician before starting this or any exercise program.

As a human being, you can probably output around 150 Watts. How many watt-hours do you need to run your house? See attached link where a guy generates his own electricity for his house.
