Eat in a deficit and add some exercise like lifting and some cardio. Waist training is silly.0

Pointless.
We are not blobs of clay, waiting for waist trainers to mould us into whittle-waisted beings.0 -
I've trained mine to juggle and occasionally function as a ventriloquist dummy using the belly button as a mouth.0

Waste of money.0

It's one thing to strive for a healthy weight and shape and something completely different to seek to alter your natural shape into one more "desirable." It seems a little too Victorian-era/women as decoration to me. Maybe I'm looking into it too much, but that's my gut reaction.0

I wrote a whole post about it in my blog on Wordpress actually lol, but if you want the short version...like people have previously said, don't do it unless you are trying to look good in a dress or jeans temporarily.
Exercise and healthy food choices is the way to go for a slim waist.0 -
Waist of time.

For a special event/few hours in a particularly clingy dress wearing a "waist trainer"/corset/spanx/foundation garment isn't a bad idea. It helps smooth the silhouette and avoid visible panty lines.
Proper corset waist training, which happens over years and means wearing a metal boned corset for 20+ hours a day - ain't nobody got time for that. We are in 2016, not 1816.
Wearing a rubber corset/waist trainer while working out? Not my fetish, but to each their own. If you look up the human anatomy, you will see the abdominal muscles are built as an internal "corset" and if those are properly trained and maintained, you shouldn't require exterior support.
As for the Kardashians & other "celebrities" etc promoting waist trainers - it looks and probably doesn't feel bad for the 3mins they wear it/take a photo and then get paid $$$$$ to promote it on social media.
But 1,000 x more credit is due to their plastic surgeons who suck the fat off their tummies and inject it into their hips/butts/faces.

I love mine! Helps with my posture and back pain a lot while shaping my body. No matter how much you work out your body won't be molded into the shape you want without one. There are a lot of misconceptions about the "dangers" of waist training, its not corset training and its not hurting your organs. If you want to do it don't let people on here talk you out of it.
But its not a substitute for exercise and healthy eating.0 -

You can work out and change the shape of your body. Waist training is actually more dangerous than corset training due to how they are used and will not shape you permanently. You will damage organs, you will cause your muscles to become weaker and you will impair breathing as well as circulation. Resistance training/lifting weights reshapes the body, improves circulation, strengthens core muscles to permanently improve posture and doesn't damage organs.0 -

Are there any gyms with daycares? If not there are tons of online resources for body weight workouts.0 -
Your shape is genetic and unless you opt for surgery, no garment is going to change it. It's pseudoscience like this that lure people into doing dumb things like this because no one on that side is telling them the actual truth about how physiology works.kalynbreann357 wrote: »I love mine!

If your back hurts, it's be because your posture is bad. Probably should work on that WITHOUT a corset because all that does is weaken the core even more.
