You May Want To Reconsider Waist Training

What is waist training?

Waist training: It is one of the HOTTEST sculpting trends out there right now. Celebrities such as Beyoncé, and most recently Kim Kardashian, have done this.

Waist training has it’s benefits but like anything else you gotta know when and where to draw the line. Like those men who tend to go a little too hard in the gym or that friend who always seems to have a little too much to drink… if you’re the type to over indulge then waist training may not be for you.

Facts About Waist Training:
1. You Move Less – Many people who wear waist trainers tend to move less because of the constriction associated with pulling the body together.
2. You Eat Less – Since many waist trainers make you feel full, many tend to eat less and sometimes that “less” means less vital fruits & veggies
3. You Don’t “Lose” Weight – Experts have said that those who solely use waist trainers without exercise don’t lose weight, its just your organs are pushed around into different areas.

Some negative stories surrounding waist training include some find that their blood pressure increased while they’re wearing a corset (although those with chronically low blood pressure have found…


…this to be beneficial for them). Others find that if they have uterine prolapse that the pressure from the corset makes it uncomfortable.

As with anything else, when it comes to corset training if you listen to your body and take things slowly and progressively then you are at less of a risk of developing any serious issues. Some of the benefits include an improved posture and of course a smaller waist line. There are tons of garments out there to help you train your waist from waist cinchers to corsets, girdles and shapers. But in order for them to be beneficial you have to be dedicated and consistent. Many women give up before they even achieve any results… and the other half just don’t know when to stop. With that being said.. it AIN’T for everybody. I would say the most important thing about lacing or corseting is knowing when to take it off!

Tips If You Decide To Waist Train:

1. Put your shoes on before you put your corset on. Doing it the other way around will be DIFFICULT.

2. Don’t drink carbonated beverages when laced into a corset. The gas will feel much more exaggerated laced up.

3. Get someone to help you the first few times. It’s not that you cannot lace yourself into a corset, but just like getting a pedicure is so much nicer than painting your own toes, having help getting into a corset is much easier with an assistant.

4. Try only wearing it for no more than 4 hours at a time. Those who choose to wear it longer would even more at risk of unhealthy organs.
