Waist Trainer

If you've followed my blog for any length of time, you know I'm an experimenter. You know one of my favorite aspects of fitness is trying new things and that's what I'm doing. I bought a waist trainer. I know, not really something new, but I'm taking it for a spin. Today was my first day wearing it and honestly, so far it's killer. One thing I really loved about it is that it kept my core tight through my entire workout, bettered my posture, which improved my form while lifting. I thought it would be COMPLETELY uncomfortable, but honestly it wasn't. The worst part about wearing it was that my pants were a little bigger and slipping down, but other than that it was amazing. So I'm going to track my progress for about two weeks to start with and then go from there if I wanna extend my little project. I'm going to take pictures everyday after I use it.
