I’m looking to buy a good quality waist trainer. I know they’re somewhat “controversial” to a point. So I want to start by saying I don’t plan on using one to lose weight. I’m happy with my current weight, I just have a little extra pooch from my c-section I’m trying to get rid of. My doctor actually recommended one. She had to actually cut through my muscles there and so lower abdominal exercises are a little painful still. She has cleared me to exercise that area - don’t worry. Just mentioned it might help to use something to support it. I don’t plan on cinching it super tight to where it’s uncomfortable or squishes my organs 😂 just enough to pull that area in as I work on building those muscles back up to make the exercises a little more comfortable.
