Body Flex :: Body Flex Review
Body
flex is a product that uses resistance bands to give you an upper body workout.
The Body
Flex product is an apperatus that claims to help users quickly lose inches
off their waist. The Body flex programs combines aerobics with resistance training
and is designed to be done sitting down. The whole Body flex routine can be done
in 20 minutes per day. Product includes:
Getting Started Losing the Inches Video, The Workout Just Minutes a Day Video,
Gym Bar with Resistance Band, Tape Measure, Nylon Carrying Bag, Quick Start Guide.
However the FTC charges that Body Flex, a weight-loss program
featured in television infomercials, does not help users quickly lose fat and
inches off their waists, contrary to its claims. The Federal Trade Commission
filed a lawsuit against Body Flex on Monday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles,
saying the company made claims that aren't true.
Body Flex spent $22
million this year to air its infomercial more than 2,000 times, claiming its program,
which involves a breathing regiment and exercises with a plastic bar and elastic
band, will help users drop four to 14 inches across six body areas in a week.
The company says the routine could be done sitting down in 18 to 20 minutes a
day.
“These claims of fast, easy inch loss without diet or exercise
exploit the millions of overweight Americans looking for an effective weight-loss
and exercise program,” said Howard Beales, consumer protection bureau director.
“Frankly, we think Body Flex's breathtaking claims are full of hot air.”
