Waist trainers are the secret to achieving the coveted hour-glass shape.
7 Days to Thinner
Waist training is a gradual process. Within 7 days you will be able to get an idea about whether waist training is for you, but please do not over train during the 7 days.
Day 1
After breaking in your waist trainer, wear the slimming garment for 2 hours the first day. This amount of time can be adjusted according to individual needs. You can opt for 2 or 3 hours during the first 3 days.
Day 2
Wear your waist trainer for 4 hours today. If you are a beginner, be prepared to feel constricted. Your body will become accustomed to it quickly. Don't push yourself and listen to your body – if you feel any kind of pain or pinching, remove the waist trainer.
While wearing a workout waist trainer, try to begin an exercise program, like Pilates or basic stretching to prepare the body for lengthier exercises.
Day 3
Today's waist training time limit is 6 hours. Keep doing stretches and try to incorporate 12 minutes of cardio.
At this point, you can increase your waist training time to more. If you are accustomed to the waist trainer, you can choose to wear it for 8 hours. Until you get the routine of wearing your shaper, do not sleep or exercise with the garment on. The longer you can comfortably wear your waist trainer, the more dramatic the results.
Day 4
By now you should be wearing your waist cincher for 8 hours a day.
The best benefit of wearing a waist trainer is how the compression affects your eating habits. You will notice when you are wearing your trainer that you are unable to eat larger meals because your stomach is constricted. This is another healthy advantage in these waist trimming products.
Day 5
When waist training is paired with healthy eating and exercise, the results are stunning. The waist trainer is a strong tool to use for weight loss encouragement. It also will give you confidence to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Your goal today should be 9 hours of wear. Push the cardio to 20 minutes, and eat correctly.
Day 6
By now, you should feel more comfortable in your waist trainer, and noticing the waist trainer is getting loose in fit. Tighten the closure if your waist trainer is slipping. This is a good sign.
The target time will be reached today with 10 hours of wear. This is the goal for wearing a waist trainer. If you can wear it for 10 hours a day for at least 8 weeks, and incorporate proper eating and exercise, you are going to absolutely love what you see. The results are amazing.
Day 7
You managed to complete the 7 days and you are now wearing the waist trainer for 10 hours a day. You are also eating less, and eating better. Ideally, you are getting accustomed to brief exercise moments and are now ready to do more intense cardio and strength training programs. If not, keep going with the little steps, any exercise is going to be beneficial to looks and health.
Keep in mind every woman’s body is different. There are many factors which determine how fast your waist will shrink. Women who have a bigger waist seem to see visible results earlier then say, a woman who has little fat or is extremely toned. Remember, you are ‘training’ your body to reshape; this can take consistency and time.
Tips to Remember
You will look slimmer upon initial wear of the waist trainer. The compression is going to begin immediately. The long term results are dependent on your level of commitment to wearing the trainer daily.
Be sure to stay properly hydrated. Another key benefit of the waist trainer is the increase of thermal activity to your core area. This will increase perspiration. The more you perspire, the more you need to replace those fluids.
If at any time you feel uncomfortable or your breathing is restricted or you cannot engage in normal activities, remove the waist trainer immediately. This is a clear indication the waist trainer is either too tight or not fitted properly.
Spend the extra dollars to get a quality trainer. This will be true if you plan on continuing waist training after the 7 days is up. Even if you are tempted to purchase a cheaper trainer, remember how important it is for this shaper to be perfect for training. Anything less and it could mean frustration, disappointment and poor results.
No one loses weight and reshapes their body overnight. Being patient and taking it day by day is the long term goal here. If you dive in and improperly wear your waist trainer, you will do more damage than good. Always follow the right path with your waist trainer to avoid harmful outcomes.
Do a self-check regularly to make sure you are wearing your waist trainer correctly, and you are staying within a healthy balance. As with any new exercise or weight loss program, you should assess your goals often for an optimal outcome.
