Two events converged to inspire today’s post about amazing, drool-worthy abs and how to get them.
The first event? The upcoming release of Magic Mike, featuring Matthew McConaughey, Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, Alex Pettyfer and Matt Bomer . . . shirtless:
Sweet fancy Moses. Someone get mama a fan.
The second event was the arrival of this little gem in my email inbox:
Oh, honey, no.
After thoroughly rinsing my eyes with battery acid to clear the second image from my retinas, I did a little research and determined that the Ab-hancer is not, in fact, a real As Seen On TV product, but rather a spoof. Even though it is a fake, the idea of trying to look like you have great abs without actually working for great abs is nothing new. I have even heard of using sunless tanning lotion to create “shadows” that give the illusion of six-pack abs on an otherwise toneless belly. Unfortunately, not everyone is going to have abs like Matthew McConaughey and Channing Tatum–seriously, it is unfortunate. While some people have the dedication and stamina to work hard to get those gleaming, chiseled, glorious abs (I’m sorry–did I get carried away?), not everyone has the time or the desire to put in that kind of effort.
Because I want every man to have the opportunity to look like Magic Mike–oh, believe me, I do–today’s Seen On TV Express blog post is going to bring you three different types of As Seen On TV ab sculpting products. You select your level of intensity from zero to P90X and choose the infomercial product that best works for you.
Intensity Level: ”Can someone bring me a doughnut and a beer?”
Instaslim and Slim Ts are body shaping garments that can make you look up to two sizes smaller without diet or exercise. While the results are temporary, and you certainly can’t whip off your shirt, wave it around your head, and slide down a fireman pole into the waiting arms of hundreds of screaming women vying for the opportunity to tuck dollar bills in your waistband, Slim T or Instaslim can give you the confidence that comes from looking better in your clothes.
Intensity Level: Not Quite Shocking
Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is FDA-cleared and shown to be effective in helping to strengthen and build muscles without a lot of concerted effort on your part. Electronic ab belts work by contracting the abdominal muscles through electronic impulses, allowing your to flex and contract each muscle numerous times in a single session. Some of these devices are discreet enough to wear under clothing so you can firm and tighten your abdominals as you go about your daily routine.
Intensity Level: ”Work All Day. Work It All Night.”
If you want the moves like Jagger . . . or in this case, like Magic Mike and his glistening, sculpted cohorts . . . you are going to have to work it. Intense fat burning moves and a clean diet are critical in creating a lean, chiseled core featuring rock hard abs. Abdominal exercise equipment like the AbRocket and the Ab Glider can give you targeted moves for tightening the abs, but the aggressive, high-intensity training available from Beachbody’s Insanity, P90X, and P90X2 allow for total body fat burning and muscle sculpting that can transform your physique.
Whether you want to show up at your reunion with the confidence that comes from looking better in your clothes, or whether you want to show up with a physique that makes your class homecoming queen fall over in a dead faint, As Seen On TV products offer your perfect ab solution.
