WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING A WAIST TRIMMER - Well-Being Wednesday

I have been having that question a lot lately as I am wearing one all the time when I exercise...

This has started 5 years ago, when I started my journey of becoming healthier, toning and slimming down... Yes back then I was 17kilos more! and not only my butt was huge (...and still is ;-)), but I started to have a big pooch all around my waist.

I won't say it will happen as a miracle and just after few sessions that you are going to melt the fat down, but after 3 months back then, my waistline had reduced for more than 6cm. Which was going much faster than the other parts of my body...

Today I am still wearing it because without it, I feel like something missing, it remind me to always keep my core engage while exercising, keeping a good posture (wear yourself high and shoulder back... I always repeat that on the circuit) and avoid back injuries.

Yes Waist trimming and compression aren't new concepts. Women have been binding their bodies for centuries to create a trimmer, more hourglass appearance. The only difference is that the new crop of waist trimmers promise to help you lose weight. While you may see some changes in the size of your waist, waist trimmers have also few alternative benefits to consider.

Slimming Action:

The sauna action of this slimming belt boosts the benefit of your regular workout. Retains moist warmth and body heat, so you shed excess water around your middle as you exercise. Wear while you perform other daily tasks too, to help you look slimmer. Specially designed with Velcro closure and adjustable to any size waist, and in neoprene material.

Back Support:

Victims of back and spine trauma are often instructed to wear waist trimmers and compression bandages around the waist to support their backs and create the best posture for healing. Compression is part of the physiotherapy portion of recovery, so it could be hypothesized that wearing a waist trimmer can be beneficial to those with bad backs, poor posture and pain at the end of the work day. If you have lower back issues, a waist trimmer may give you the extra support you need to sit up straight and remove some of the pressure on your back.

Diet Reminder

While your waist trimmer won't allow you to effortlessly lose pounds and inches, it can inadvertently remind you to eat better and exercise more to help foster healthy weight loss. The constant reminder of having compression on your waist could be enough to entice you to switch to a salad at lunch or hit the gym after work. When you wear the waist trimmer, you may find that the constant pressure acts as a constant reminder of your fitness goals and help you find the motivation to achieve them.

And Guess what it is available at SLIMher! in Black/Neon Green & Black/ Neon Pink color.
