(Newswire.net — August 21, 2020) –If you have not been living under a rock, we are quite certain that you must have seen, or at least, heard about corsets. The ideal hourglass figure that women are expected to flaunt and corsets can be almost tagged as synonymous. However, now that we no longer live in the 19th century where women had to comply with the pre-established norms set for them in terms of their behavior and appearance, the corsets are no longer treated as a fashion indispensable. Today, it is just a matter of choice; you can turn to the corset for a toned and sleeker waist or, simply flaunt whatever curves you have got!
When you wear a corset, your waist looks much sleeker than it originally is and this leads people to believe that corsets can efficaciously shed belly fat. In the following section, we will elaborate on this topic further and acquaint you with the right ways of losing belly fat by wearing a corset.
- Corsets and belly fat
For the uninitiated, it is actually the waist trainers and not the typical corsets that contribute to the belly fat loss. According to manufacturers, you should wear the corset for long hours and not throughout the 24*7 hours a day. Chances are, you will sweat more than usual and drop a few extra kilos but, corsets are less likely to help you lose belly fat when you are not resorting to any other weight loss alternative.
What you must understand here is that you successfully lose fat when you burn more calories than what you intake. It is then that your body identifies the deficiency of calories and discharges the triglyceride stored in fat cells to transform them into usable energy. This implies that technically, the corset would do nothing to facilitate the loss of belly fat.
However, there’s this one thing that we cannot move on without acknowledging, and that is when you are wearing something as tight as a corset, your appetite decreases. This means you will obviously consume lesser calories as compared to regular days and as a result reduce your bodyweight. Besides, you should be mindful of what you are eating; unless you are chalking out a nutritious diet that contains equal proportions of important vitamins and minerals, the path to weight loss will only seem endless.
- What are the physical activities you can couple a corset with?
As we have already mentioned before, losing fat, especially the stubborn belly fat is not a magical journey. Other than turning to a high-quality corset that fits your size, you must incorporate a few physical activities in your daily routine as well. Move as much as possible. Stop paying heed to the “go big, or go home” notion because every little step counts.
Even if you invest 4-5 hours every week to a formal exercise routine, you can go a long way! Be creative with the exercises you choose and ensure that you are trying their variations every now and then to keep going. While some trainers might suggest you have the waist trainer on when exercising, we wouldn’t favor the same. In order to capitalize on the positive impacts of exercising, you will have to let the tissues and muscles of your body breathe and that is not something you can expect to happen when the corset is on. Additionally, donning something that is somewhat restricting will make things worse and welcome a string of health issues in the longer run.
Why should you not wear a corset throughout the day?
Like all other things in the world, wearing a corset for longer than it is prescribed comes with its own set of disadvantages. Firstly, it will constrict your breathing whenever you are trying to move- even if it is as simple as shifting from one spot of the house to the other. Secondly, if you pull the strings of the corset too tightly, it will induce rib pain or bruising that can terribly agonizing with time. Lastly, if you have medical conditions where you suffer from digestive issues such as irritable bowel syndrome or constipation, a corset is not recommended because it might increase your abdominal pressure which, in turn, will intensify the problem.
