The aim of waist training is to strengthen the abdominal muscles to create a flatter tummy and more defined waist. It is a proven method to reduce the size of the waist and enhance the shape.
Waist training corsets are primarily made of latex and boning with hook and eye closures. And there are waist trainers designed specifically for workouts.
A workout trainer has higher compression to feel tighter around the midsection and will have more flexible boning in the garment. It’s used during workouts to increase body temperature, causing you to sweat more. It aids back posture and alignment to maximise your muscle enlargement. However, using a waist trainer during workout comes with a few rules.
Here are top tips/rules to using waist trainer while exercising;
- Quality is important when it comes to waist trainers. This determines the effectiveness, comfort and durability of your waist trainer.
- Waist trainers are most effective when they are used during weight training. This may lead to quicker inch/weight loss. Do NOT use your waist trainer while doing cardio exercises.
- It is far better to wear a waist trainer over your shirt. This will prevent built up sweat underneath the waist trainer from leading to rashes or acne.
- After each exercise activity, it is recommended that you take off your waist trainer. And for those who have to waist train for longer, please avoid wearing your waist trainer longer than 8 hours a day in order not to put too much strain on your body.
- Wear your waist trainer on the tightest hooks only if you feel comfortable. If you feel too restricted or short of breath, then adjust it one row a time till you feel it’s tight but comfortable.
A generally rule is that you ensure you purchase a waist trainer that is specifically made for exercise. There is a difference. Waist training workouts are fun and efficient. It might take some time getting used to it but if used properly, wearing a waist trainer can boost your workout. You will burn more calories and shape your body quickly and easily
