Black Garbage Bag???

A lady at my gym told me to tape a black garbage bag around my stomach while I work out to tighten the skin around my stomach. In other words I won't have saggy skin. Has anyone heard of or tried this?? She said she did it and it works but it sounds sketchy to me.

It just:
a) makes you sweat more
b) makes you look and feel silly
c) wastes a perfectly good garbage bag
You may actually experience (as a result of the sweating) a very temporary change.
I'm glad to see your BS detector is working properly.0 -
I'm guessing it works to shed water weight but not sure about skin tightening. If you don't want to make crunchy sounds while working out they sell neoprene rubber waist cinchers at Wally World.0

when i was in wrestling in high school (:blushing:) our coach said "that **** is dangerous'" because you sweat too much or some crazy nonsense. Sounds like some desperate weight loss thing - would not go for it0
