A member asked:

Is it okay to put icy hot around my stomach area then wrap with plastic wrap while i workout? (about a hour) will it help tighten and tone my stomach?

No: That will do nothing except perhaps give you a chemical burn. The exercise will help, but the icy hot and plastic will not help tighten or tone your stomach.
