Summary |
What connection does Malibu Beach have with weight loss? None, intrinsically; however, the makers of The Malibu Pilates Chair would like to use the connotation that the name brings (bikini-clad bodies) to encourage you to buy their fitness equipment. But can it truly shape your figure like it claims? Let’s find out.

| Program At A Glance |
At first glance, the Malibu Pilates Chair resembles a common stepstool; however, a closer look reveals that this little unit can facilitate a host of arm, leg, abdomen, and other exercises. The “seat” of the chair is used for sitting during leg exercises (performed with the resistance “pedals”) and for stability during other routines. There seems to be a countless number of fitness regimens possible with this small unit. Exercise is certainly one component of healthy weight loss. However people would see far faster results if they used this program in conjunction with a quality weight loss pill and/or diet program. You can click here to see a list of popular and well-respected products that could be used in conjunction with Malibu Pilates to see fast results. |
| Website |
|
Information for this product is available on their official website. The website provides a number of user-testimonials and celebrity endorsements. It would seem that the satisfaction guarantee is not 100% money-back simply because the initial $14.95 + $29.95 s&h is not refunded upon return. This is part of their breakage model to they lose too much money on the large number of returns they receive.

| Cost |
Malibu Pilates is sold with a $14.95 + $29.95 s&h “Risk Free Trial Offer.” After 30 days, if the product is not returned, the customer’s credit card is charged an additional $49.95, six times over. Thus, the total cost of keeping the unit is nearly $350. We feel this price is no where near worth what you are getting. Surely it seems like less of a hit because it can be paid over six payments….but the equipment is simply over-priced. People would be far better off spending their money on a piece of high quality toning equipment like the Flex Belt which is guaranteed to work for 100% of users for about ½ the price. |

| Conclusion |
|
For a small piece of equipment, The Malibu Pilates chair does quite a bit. By facilitating such a wide range of exercises, the unit would seem to facilitate a regular fitness regimen. However, it’s important that dieters remember that exercise is only one component of effective weight loss. This discipline must also be combined with healthy eating habits. Dieters should also drink lots of water to stay hydrated and free from toxins. Lastly, if you are seeking to lose weight, don’t discount the idea of adding a supplement with safe ingredients proven to suppress your appetite and increase your metabolism. Such a product may increase your potential to make headway in these efforts. No matter which path you choose, safe and effective weight loss must be fueled by patience and determination on your part.

TheFlexBelt® -
The abdominal toning Flex Belt® is truly an awesome advance in technology. This device is by far the most effective we have ever seen of its kind. The results are astonishing – The Flex Belt is proven to work for everyone. In fact – in a clinical trial done with The Flex Belt, 100% of the participants received results in flattening, toning, and strengthening their stomach. The Flex Belt is not a gimmick – it is 100% medical science. It is the first EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) product of its kind cleared by the FDA as a class II medical device for direct to consumer sales. The Flex Belt literally flexes your stomach muscles for you so they get a very concentrated work out. It makes it so that anyone can exercise their abs anywhere and anytime and it does all the work for you. You can use it at work, around the house, while taking a walk, while exercising, watching TV etc. For consumers who don’t have the time to exercise or for those that may have tried to flatten and tone their stomachs through traditional exercise, this product is precisely what they’ve been looking for. It is also great for people that are in awesome shape and already have a great stomach – it will simply make it more strong and defined.
