摘要：
A belt for training abdominal muscles comprises means (103) for determining a base girth of a user. Means (115, 117, 119) is also provided for determining changes in girth of the user as a result of contraction and relaxation of the users abdominal muscles. Further means (125) provides feedback to the user as to the extent of contraction of the users abdominal muscles, the feedback being displayed as a continuous, progressive indication of the degree of contraction of the users abdominal muscles. A training method employs the belt and comprises the steps of: placing the belt around the waist of a user and determining a base girth of the user. The users abdominal muscles are contracted and relaxed so as to provide feedback to the user as to the extent of contraction of the users abdominal muscles, and a continuous, progressive indication of the degree of contraction of the users abdominal muscles is noted.
