Will a Waist Trainer Help Burn Away Stubborn Fat? 

Shortcuts for a better body are nothing new to our eyes. We've seen countless of them advertised, but we've yet to see any breakthrough in results.

The latest product that has come to the fitness world is the waist trainer, a tight-fitting corset worn for extended periods, designed to reshape your midsection by pressure and force.

How Fat Burning Waist Trainers Supposedly Work

These corsets consist of thick fabric and hard metal boning and are placed around the midsection with laces.

Waist trainers are to be worn constantly for months, and after some time, the corset will mold you into the very much desired hourglass figure.

Supporters of these products have claimed that wearing them for weeks can take an inch off your waist. 

Yet, these corsets are nothing new. Wearing a corset was the norm amongst society about a hundred years ago; it's just that now it's been marketed for the fitness community and comes in many different prints.

While a waist trainer is said to help you eat less, improve your posture, and shrink your waistline, we're here to tell you that it's not all that it turns out to be.

The Truth About Waist Trainers

Wearing a waist trainer won't do you much harm, but you'll realize that it's an ineffective product and it could lead to unwanted health problems in the long run.

Waist trainers are placed around your midsection, meaning that it encompasses an area where your vital organs are. And if that area is continually being squeezed, then the organs will have to adapt to an unnatural positioning, and their functions could decline.

These corsets have also been reported to deprive some bodies of oxygen, reducing lung capacity so much by 30 to 60%.

This entails that you'll feel low energy levels and discomfort, but it could also lead to more severe consequences such as fainting, fluid build-up in the lungs, and inflammation.

Corsets can as well cripple your digestive system. The force made by the waist trainer can cause blockages within your digestive tract and give you acid reflux.

That being said, think twice before wanting to wrap yourself in a corset.

What Should I Do Then?

If you want to get rid of fat around your midsection naturally, do the following key activities: diet with a calorie deficit and routine cardio.

Calorie deficits are the only way that you'll be able to burn fat through dieting. Eating 500 fewer calories a day equates to roughly losing a pound of fat per week.

Cardio is the primary type of exercise that you should be doing if you want to burn fat. That's because it's impossible to spot fat loss.

If you don't want to take the cosmetic route, opt for Waist AirSculpt®.

The minimally invasive process doesn't use a scalpel, needle, or general anesthesia, yet it still offers significant results.
