WAIST TRAINING
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE
LATEST HOLLYWOOD FAD
The root of
the problem
with waist
training is
that people
are
forgetting
about how
it affects
the
physiology
of the
internal
organs."
The newest trend in weight loss borrows directly from a practice that phased out in
the early 20th century. The trend of an hourglass figure is back and so is the
method to achieve the look: corsets, currently called “waist trainers.” This practice,
now known as waist training, is advertised as a fitness hack to achieve a tighter
core and shape the abdomen area, while accentuating the breasts and hips/
buttocks.
Khloe and Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Amber Rose have all posted selfies
wearing the device and many have jumped on the waist training movement. But is
it worth all the fuss?
Behind the premise of waist training is that when worn for a certain amount of
time each day, the waist will be “trained” into a smaller shape. However,
nothing has ever disappeared just by being squeezed, so the fat is simply
moving elsewhere. And once the trainer is taken off, the body will settle back
into place. At best, results are temporary.
