Features of wearing different types of weight loss belts

Slimming belts perform a variety of functions. Their operating mode and configuration depend on this. Let's look at the wearing features of the main models:

1. massage (vibration). It contains special rollers that begin to move using electricity or batteries. Due to vibrations, a massage occurs, blood rushes to the skin, and metabolism is activated. A vibrating device is usually quite heavy and requires complete muscle relaxation, so it must be put on in a sitting or lying position;
2. thermal. It usually consists of several layers, including neoprene and thermosel - materials that retain heat well. It is worth considering that the neoprene belt works (fat is burned) only during physical activity, when active sweating occurs;
3. sauna belt The operating principle is the same as the previous version, but is powered by a battery. You set the heating level yourself, creating a sauna effect. Wearing a “mini-sauna” for more than 10 minutes a day is not recommended, and it is also impossible to perform physical activity at the same time;
4. myostimulator. Inside the device there are sensors that generate impulses that affect tissue. Due to this, muscle stimulation occurs, a kind of imitation of physical exercise during training. It is recommended to use a muscle stimulator if you have a little excess weight, since it additionally shapes your figure, but is not able to remove numerous extra pounds.
