Flex Enervive Review

What You Should Know

Flex Enervive is a product developed by the Flex Company as a muscle toning system designed to be used by people who want to increase muscle tone but donít relish spending hours in the gym. Their website claims that using the device for 30 minutes a day, five days a week will produce noticeable results in as little as four to eight weeks. The system is not intended to be a fat burner, but rather a muscle toner. No weight loss claims are made.

Flex Enervive can be purchased from the Flex website for $199.99 with additional purchases receiving a discount. Replacement gel pads can also be purchased from the website for $21.99 per set.

Flex Enervive works by administering electrical impulses to targeted muscles, thereby stimulating those muscles to increase muscle tone. It is FDA approved and the website claims that the product is backed by clinical studies, although no such studies are readily available. It is unknown whether the 8 week study cited was done on the actual Flex products or on the Electric Muscle Stimulation technology in general.

Product Features

Flex Enervive uses Electric Muscle Stimulation to produce its results. This is the same technology used by physical therapists and sports therapists to encourage repair in injured muscles. The gel pads should be placed over the desired muscle group and the product should be used for 30 minutes at a time, five times a week. The gel pads will need to be replaced after 20 to 30 uses, or approximately once a month.

The attraction of Flex Enervive is that it promises noticeable results with little or no effort on the part of the user. The product stimulates and tones muscles without requiring long workouts or intensive weight training.

Pro’s

• Flex Enervive is FDA approved.
• A discount is available for multiple purchases.
• A certain level of effectiveness has been demonstrated.

Con’s

• Flex Enervive does not burn calories or promote fat reduction.
• Although clinical studies are referenced on the website, no easy access to these studies is available.
• Parts must be replaced frequently, requiring monthly additional financial outlay.
• The website does not promote nutrition or exercise as the route to good health.

Conclusion

Flex Enervive promises noticeable results with little or no effort, and supports this claim by pointing to the use of Electric Muscle Stimulation in the physical therapy and sports medicine fields. However, the user should remember that these fields use the technology as an aid to repairing injured muscles, not as a primary means of muscle building. Athletes must exert considerable effort to achieve and maintain high levels of physical fitness.

No detailed information is available regarding studies that may have been done on Flex Enervive or its parent technology. While testimonials abound, little objective research has been done on the product itself. It makes no claims regarding weight loss, but does seem to imply that physical fitness can be achieved effortlessly. This idea has repeatedly been refuted in the medical realm. Flex Enervive may produce some results, but it is no replacement for a healthy diet and regular exercise program.
