What's your background? Are you already in shape and just want the abs to rip out, or are you just looking for "an easy way to get a good six pack"? If you're the later, I'ld suggest reading the other threads here regarding abs. As for your question, I haven't heard anything good about the ab belt or whatever it's called (although I have not heard the fact that they are dangerous). I've tried it at the mall once, and I just didn't like the fact that my muscles were contracting without my efforts - kinda made me sick a little. If you are looking for a suggestion on what to get, I would recommend a Swiss Ball. There are so many exercises that you could do with it and it is effective.
