Ab-Ribbon by HYPOXiX Fitness, Abdominal Mirror Sensory Belt for Pilates Barre Yoga Breathography Technique Breathwork and Physical Therapy

Wow. THIS is exactly what I needed to keep myself on track engaging my core throughout my practice. You get tired and forget to hold your abs! I’m strong and I was surprised at how many times the Ab Ribbon just gently reminded my abs to stay engaged. So simple and so brilliant! And comfortable actually!I tried Hypoxix with AJ without an Ab Ribbon and now with an Ab Ribbon - it actually makes the classes more efficient for me! They are easier in the sense of reduced multitasking in my brain, but I am able to keep up more and so the workout is more intense!Thank you for the QR code for free classes included with the Ab Ribbon, too! I did a class on my lunch break today and it was so fun and energizing!

I found AJ's breathing classes by attending a breathing summit and was immediately hooked by her style and engaging techniques. Her ab-ribbon was not yet available to the public, so I tried several beginner classes without it. I struggled with the zip breathing technique; there was so much to think about, and I found myself waning on the practice. When the ab-ribbon became available, I jumped in and purchased one. I've tried several classes since and noticed that I am more engaged with my attention, core work, and breathing. I also use the ribbon while walking and find that it keeps me focused on my breathing and core, and I get so much more out of my walks. Brilliant, yet simple, research-based, and effective. Great product!

I've been in the fitness industry for 20 years, and I wish I had an Ab-ribbon a long time ago. It's so simple it's almost hard to believe it works, but it does! I put it on when I workout, or go for a walk, and can easily feel when I am engaging my core and creating space in the ribbon. It's also easier to feel when to release and allow the ribbon to "tighten". I have worked a long time trying to teach clients and students how to integrate the core muscles of their torso; this little belt provides the feedback so easily and quickly! I wish I had it years ago. it's fun to wear too, during a workout it gets easier to "loosen the ribbon" and it feels great!

This belt took some getting used to and a little trial and error to get the size adjusted correctly but I like that you can essentially mark the size with the velcro so you don't have to struggle to get it sized right every time (unless you are bloated and need some extra room some days). I wish it had a rubber backing to make it more comfortable on your skin and stay in place better overall, but it does the job.

As a female in her 70s, I’ve struggled with core strength, and even what it means to engage the core for many years. The combination of the Ab-Ribbon’s material and sizing is the perfect reminder to not only properly engage my core, but take full deep breaths. Because my general mode of exercise is walking and gentle exercise, I just strap it on when I go for a walk, and it’s amazing how much stronger my core has gotten from telling myself to keep the ribbon loose for a good portion of my walk. I highly recommend this, especially for older individuals, such as myself, who are looking for ways to incorporate core work into daily functional activities! What I didn’t realize at first is that the QR code that’s on the Ab-Ribbon links to a series of both beginner and advanced exercises that have helped me to learn AJ‘s breathing technique Breathography. The real value in the Ab-Ribbon are all of the free exercises that it comes with. It’s amazing the exercise scientist that she is and the work that she’s put into the program that connects with this seemingly simple device!

To be honest, there's no point in ordering this belt unless you just want to spend money. It's basically a "strap". It doesn't "do" anything. You wrap it around your upper abdominal area & tighten it. You can feel it when you breathe, of course. But it doesn't do anything as far as reminding you to breathe more / better, or assist with workouts.

“Ab-Ribbon by HYPOXiX Fitness” is a piece of webbing, some velcro, and a slider. It also comes with an additional clothing guard, which I have used in an attempt to cover the velcro tape, which I find annoying when my arms rub against it. There were sharp tips on the ends of the velcro, which I cut off on the diagonal, which has helped a little.I have tried a couple of the free Ab-Ribbon fitness online videos, but they are not for me. As an avid walker, I have tried wearing this belt in an attempt to remind me to engage my core when walking, but I end up removing this Ab-Ribbon within a couple of minutes. As an avid rebounder, I have also tried wearing this Ab-Ribbon to remind me to engage my core muscles—again, I remove it within a minute or so.I honestly don’t understand the benefit of this Ab-Ribbon because it is supposed to be loose, not too tight. However, I am constantly concerned about keeping the belt in place and I end up tightening it so it doesn’t fall down. So then I have a velcro-ed webbing strap around my ribs that I find to be annoying. This Ab-Ribbon is not for me.

I got this for my boyfriend whose core could use some work. And he said that already he notices a difference when he's wearing it to keep his core engaged and breathing in. I borrowed it for an hour while I was sitting at my desk working and couldn't believe the difference! Sitting is when I always forget to use my core and this was a super effective constant reminder to keep my abs engaged. It's super comfortable and easy to use.
