it is suppose to help your back when you work out and 'supposably' help burn off belly fat/water from the heat it generates or whatever it is.. i have no clue if it actually works but, i got the wrong type of stationary type bike (upright instead of the recumbent one that would of been better for my belly area) to workout on, so i bought the wrap for under &20 on a whim to make myself feel like i am helping my belly fat area too!
it does indeed hold in the heat in my belly area and i have lost an inch but, doubt the wrap is the real reason why.
What you just said was exactly what I had planned on doing with it. I ride my stationary bike everyday I just have trouble keeping my midsection straight. After I ride the bike I have terrible back pain because it's hard for me to keep my posture right. Thank you. The one I bought was only 14 dollars.0 -
No you need to develop your core to prevent back pain and a "waist trainer" does not help that
Put some heavy progressive resistance work in eg a compound lift programme like new rules of lifting for women,strong curves
And lose fat through a calorie defecit
I've had 2 sections and managed to get my waist and core back at the grand old age of 47 by losing weight and weight training (see av and pics)0 -
Perhaps the biggest problem with wearing anything restrictive while exercising such as a waist trainer, is that you may end up relying on the waist trainer for support, instead of relying on your muscles for support, which would build strength and tone. And if you're trying to tone up in your midsection, you should definitely focus on losing weight in general (as spot reduction is b.s.) as well as strengthening your muscles. A waist trainer does not help with either of these and is therefore a waste of money.0

Okay I understand that. Yeah I think the best thing would be to take it back or throw it away then.0

We're not dogging on you. It's the idea of a corset being an exercise asset that is cracking us up. You didn't invent it so I'm not blaming you for asking. But we do wish to make it clear to anyone else that's thinking about it that it's a terrible idea.0 -

All that & your previous comment are understandable, it's just that you're cheating yourself of real improvement that way. You're not the first or last person to hope for an easier way : / (If I could avoid having to do physiotherapy, I would)0 -
I think taking it back and receiving a refund is a good idea.
I've also had csections so understand your frustration. But this waist training stuff won't help you .
Definitely start a lifting program asap and you'll get the stomach that you desire.0 -
Thanks for all the advice, I appreciate it.0

Since OP mentioned back pain- the best way to avoid back pain is to build up your muscles enough in your back so they can properly support good posture without getting tired and then hurt. The best way to do this is through strength training the muscles in your back and core or doing body weight exercises for the back/core.
I used to have terrible back pain but once I started strengthening those muscles it worked wonders!0 -

Well... wow. I read a few of the comments posted. Some of them are rude as can be. As i read your initial post, i thought to myself that you must've been talking about something like a wrap of sorts. Not an actual coreset. I have a freind that used to wrap herself in seran wrap to increase her sweating. She swore by it! I have never tried it. I sweat enough without extra help. Good luck with everything.

LOL
In the hopes of achieving what? More sweating?
Ridiculous things are ridiculous...they deserve funny responses or massive facepalm at the idiocy or both
It's like people just want to belieeeeve....

considering how ludicrous the idea of working out with a corset OR a waist trainer is- most of the commentary in here is pretty normal- nothing outrageously rude at all.
Also- hi- welcome to the internet. you seem to be new at internet-ing. Good luck.
PS- use your spell checker.0 -
I saw a commercial for one of those "waist trainers". The woman was running in it! I couldn't believe it. It would restrict your breathing, in general, never mind while doing exercises!! Definitely NOT a good idea!!

I've only skimmed the replies, but has anyone mentioned that this can cause your core to be weaker?!?!? You want your core to have to work while you exercise to strengthen and them "waist killers" will do just the opposite. It's just like sitting in a chair turns off the glutes.0

I'm sorry for all the jerks on here...everyone has little things that help them...some ppl are just to stubborn and hard headed to realize that. I'm going to erase this post if ppl don't knock it off. If you have nothing nice to say then don't say it. Your not helping anyone at all.0 -
Wow.....does MFP have like the worst people out there? This OP asked a simple question and most of you here are insulting her and making fun of her. It's a legitimate question. She's asking for help and guidance. This is like High school here, where the jock and cheerleaders make fun of the pimple, over weight kid for what he's wearing at the gym, or some fat chick in glasses in braces trying to use the treadmill. Why is everyone here insulting instead of helping? Some of you folks need some serious help.
To answer your original question, no it is not recommended to wear doing exercising. I know what you're talking about, and it doesn't help. It's just a gimmick. If you haven't opened or used the product, I would return it for a refund.0 -
I already returned it, and thank you!0

This is the last time I ask for advice on here that's for sure/:0

That's odd. By my count, someone spent money on a wasteful item that could do them harm and they have returned said item based on the overwhelming sentiment of the replies in this thread. Are you saying that person wasn't helped? Not to mention the hundreds of other people that saw this thread and now know better than to pay for a waist trainer. Them no get helpy either?Finniemarie9710 wrote: »This is the last time I ask for advice on here that's for sure/:
Fair enough. Then this will be the last time we save you from yourself.
Best wishes.-1 -
You can help someone without being mean.0

I took it back because of all the ppl that gave me actual advise on here. Not because of ppl like you. Best wishes to you too.0

corsets and waist trainers are a waste of time and money. they are not long term solutions. a healthy diet with heavy weight lifting are the way to go. if you want that hourglass shape, build up your lats and glutes (it will give the illusion of a small waist) by doing lat pulldowns, db rows, squats and deadlifts (plus other weight lifting exercises).0
