Waist training belts are garments that resemble corsets. According to proponents, they can slim the waistline and help people achieve an hourglass figure.
Before deciding to use a waist training belt, it is important to understand the safety and effectiveness of the product.
Waist training bands (elastic compression straps that tie around the abdomen) treat corsets as distant relatives. In most cases, waist trainers are made of thick elastic fabric with laces, Velcro or hooks to secure them to your abdomen.
Wearing a waist training belt will help improve poor posture such as a hunched back.
The main advantage of a waist training belt is that wearing it is a quick and easy way to get an hourglass figure.
Although waist training belts may give this impression when a person wears them, according to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS) blog, this garment will not completely change a person's body shape. It is unlikely that a person who removes the waist trainer will have lasting results.
Instead, if a person wants to lose weight or increase fat loss, they should consider improving their diet and exercising more frequently.
Any weight loss while wearing a waist training belt is more likely to be due to increased sweating rather than a loss of body fat.
While wearing a waist training belt, a person may feel a decrease in appetite. However, this change is due to the clothing squeezing the stomach. It is important to follow a healthy diet and eat the right amount of nutritious foods.
A lumbar trainer can provide support for women whose abdominal muscles have stretched or thinned after pregnancy. The extra support may help reduce pain and discomfort.
According to a study in the International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, women who wore lumbar support garments after a cesarean section experienced less pain and bleeding than women who did not.
Admittedly, it can be difficult to target your waistline through diet and exercise, especially if you want an hourglass shape. The best way to shape your abdomen is with a tailored exercise program. Try incorporating oblique movements, such as the "French twist and tease" of the Laguerre method, to help shape the waist and tighten the obliques to the body's centerline."
Other exercises that work the obliques include side bends. Side bends provide an excellent workout for your lower back because they effectively target both sides of your core.
If you want additional support to shape your waistline through wearable fitness, consider exercise clothing that incorporates current into your workout as an alternative to waist training belts. The purpose of a waist training belt is to tighten the waistline through the constant contraction of the wrap-like product. The fundamental problem with this is that to achieve the look you want, you have to wear this tight product for too long. Shrinkage is not the problem, long-term shrinkage is the problem.
