Why would you want to do that? What do you think it will achieve?1

My workout corset recommendation is that you don't.9
-
My recommendation: unless it's a stabilizer for back/core problems, don't. Why would you wear something that's going to restrict your movement????1
-
That's a thing?! Oh that sounds freaking awful!! Get a weight vest, don't ruin your ribs and organs.0

Wearing a corset or any type of super restrictive item during a workout can negatively impact your workout. It can also cause you to overheat easily and it's not going to encourage you to engage your core muscles while exercising which will make your core weaker. Overall it's a bad idea and doesn't do anything the ads say it does.3

If the poster is not in the US or a native English speaker, it's possible she means sports bra.3

She probably means a waist trainer.2 -
^ Yes I meant waist trainer0

Some times I wear a waist cincher, but I wear it because I need support for my back. If you don't need that, don't bother. You'll just weaken your muscles.1

Depending on how tight it is, it can help your core contract harder due to the resistance it provides. But that's me describing a weightlifting belt... You're better off going on a caloric deficit if you want a tighter waist.7

Hey there, check this article in regards to the benefit of a weightlifting belt:
https://www.t-nation.com/training/the-belt-and-the-deadlift
"The lifting belt isn't a passive device that works all by itself. One of the ways the belt works is by allowing you to produce a harder muscular contraction against it than you can without it.
The combination of the harder isometric trunk muscle contraction made possible by the belt, and the fact that the heavier weight you're lifting provides more training stimulus than the lighter weight you'd be lifting otherwise, means that using the belt allows you to get stronger."
Article was written by Mark Rippetoe, of Starting Strength fame.

Then why on earth are you bringing weight-lifting belts into a corset discussion??4 -

A weightlifting belt and a waist trainer are two entirely different things.
OP waist trainers are just another fad the industry gets people to spend $$$ on. Skip it

Because it's the same principal. Corset cinches your waist and forces your core to contract all day while you wear it. Unnecessary if you have a solid calorie deficit set.2 -

Have you ever worn a corset? That is not how corsets work.5 -

Neither the cincher I have worn nor the corset I have worn has forced my core to contract all day. That's not how they work.4
