Waist Training Is No Longer Just For Women! The New Way To Help Your Man Lose His Belly Fat
Pop quiz: Which of these things does your man have in common with the Kardashian-Jenners?
A. They blow dry their jewelry before putting it on.
B. They have nearly 50 million followers on Twitter.
C. They have black toilet paper in their bathrooms.
D. They can use a waist trainer to whittle down their belly bulge.
If you chose D, you're exactly right (and if you chose any of the other options, I would love to learn more about your significant other because he sounds like a fascinating dude).
Waist trainers aren't just for women anymore. Obviously, the man in your life isn't going for that Kim K hourglass look, but if he's even a little interested in working toward a six-pack, a waist trainer should be on his shopping list.
Though the waist trainers you tend to see on celebs look like corsets, the male versions — which are already pretty popular among weightlifters — look like plain compression wraps or tank tops ("wife beaters"). Many men, even those who aren't involved in weightlifting, wear the latter as undershirts anyway, so transitioning to a waist trainer is effortless.
Besides skimming a few inches from his waistline and smoothing that beer belly, a waist trainer adds extra back support and can improve your man's posture over time. Some trainers also have cooling features and compression zones to correct his specific problem areas, such love handles. The thing your man will love most about waist trainers, though, is that all he's got to do to see these fab results is put a waist trainer on and go about his day.
Though experts disagree on some of the health effects of wearing a waist trainer, they're generally safe if worn for just a few hours a day (and your boo can work up to wearing one more often over time if he wants to).
"But, like, do male waist trainers actually work?" you're probably wondering. Well, don't take it from me — take it from the 1,939 people who gave one male waist trainer a five-star review on Amazon.
"It works as a good back support and helps to melt that water weight and fat fat away from your stomach as well," wrote reviewer and verified buyer David B.
Reviewer carl wesley taylor, another verified buyer, agreed with him, writing, "I think the primary benefit is not how much it makes you sweat, but how it tightens your stomach muscles. My waistline had been reduces (sic) by about 1 inch since I have been using the (trainer)."
What do you think — is your man about to become the next waist training devotee? (You don't have to tell him the Kardashians were using them first!)
