If it's infused with Garcinia Cowabunga it'll excite the muscles.
No typo.

Ridiculous concept
Compound lifts, progressive weights, calorie defecit0 -
Check out the Dr. Oz show from Thursday Feb 12. He had a very informative segment about this very subject. Then draw your own informed with evidence conclusion.
You know the guy is an idiot media *kitten* don't you?
I don't even live in America, we, thankfully, don't get this show, and even I know the guy is a snake oil salesman of the highest degree
For informed, evidence based conclusions you need scientific rigour not a media spot to fill with bro-science0 -

This^^^^ It sounds like a fad. There is no other solution to weight loss and/or getting in shape then a calorie deficit and exercise.

A. why are you considering waist training?

I am confused as to why you are asking a corset question in a weight loss/fitness forum. Corsets neither make you fit nor lose weight - they change your shape to some extend. As long as you know that, I would refer you back to answer B. (and whatever you do, C. will always be a NO.)

What you describe there is not a waist training corset, hence the confusion. I don't know anything about the thing you are describing but it sounds very much like a pointless scam to me - sweating more only loses you water that you have to top up, if you don't want to risk health problems eventually. Eat right (at a deficit, if you want to lose weight), exercise right (only you know what "right" is for you), and the rest will happen, without wasting money on scammy gadgets.

This is NOT waist training.
What you are describing is scam. sweating more does nothing for fat loss and as for excite the ab muscles - just no :noway:0 -

Turns out the op doesn't have a clue about what it is either.

I'm pro waist training, but you need proper advise before starting it. Waist training is by no means an easy option.
Do your research and see a doctor about this. If you're wearing a corset just to help you sweat, that's not waist training. Anyone I've known who did waist training used a lace up corset and saw their doctor very regularly.0 -
Waist training is perfectly safe and truly amazing if done correctly. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting trim their waist, have a flat tummy or get rid of back fat. I've seen fantastic results.0

While I have heard concern about organ damage I have not seen data to back it up so I won't go either way on this. Just wanted to point out that if you decide to do this do not skimp and get a cheap one. Always steer away from wooden boned models and inspect the seams over the boning before putting it on.0

Sounds like a good way to increase intra-abdominal pressure and give yourself some problems

I don't understand how your organs would know the difference between a lace-up corset and a gym corset0 -
I dont see why not! Id be waist training right now if I bought the right size lol. I say do it. just be safe about it and slowly work your way in with the corset.0

Genuine question - how does a corset "excite" your muscles and what do excited muscles do differently to ordinary ones..? Sweating won't do anything to make your waist smaller.0 -
