Default The Truth about abs...anyone know anything about it?

I ran across this (http://www.truthaboutabs.com/abdomin...questions.html) article today and I'm trying to figure out if it's worth the investment. I googled to see if I could find any information on whether or not it's a scam, and I found a bunch of positive information which I'm a bit leery of. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge or experience with the system, and does it work? What is the basic premise?

Sounds like just a diet/exercise program. I don't like the claim that it burns stomach fat. The fact is, your body loses the fat from where IT is ready to let go of it. Sure, if you're losing weight you will lose belly fat, as well as fat everywhere else. You can't target one spot. If you're just looking for some good ab workouts, I'd say just youtube it!

That's what I've always heard, too. You can't target one area. I'm sad becuase I'm losing my boobs more than my tummy. Dang it!
