Hello Friends!
I was recently contacted by Hourglass Angel and invited to join their 30-day waist training challenge by using the Active Band Waist Trainer by Amia. I recently blogged about how my waistline had expanded from 26 inches, so obviously, I accepted this awesome invitation!
Here is the waist trainer:
It’s pink! The fitband is a tiny bit stretchy…but not much. There are two rows of hooks so I can make it even tighter when I need to.
Full disclosure – I tried to take photos of myself wearing this several times, but I could only fit it on in the morning. Now, I am training for a half marathon, so I am drinking about a gallon of water a day, but I had NO IDEA I expanded that much from morning to evening.
Anyway – I haven’t yet tried it for exercise (because I’ve been working out in the afternoon this week, and I couldn’t latch it up all the way). But look how it enhances my figure under clothes!
Front view – and the muffin top is gone. 
Side view – and my girls are perky and my posture is vastly improved.
So here are my early observations about the waist trainer:
- Trying to put this on was tough. It ain’t easy! But I think it will be less of a struggle over time when the hooks and eyes loosen up a bit.
- I wore this for about two hours. The goal is 6-8 hours a day. I can totally imagine wearing this at work so that I’m not slouching at my desk, as I am wont to do.
- I really want to wear this on a run. My back was ramrod straight with the waist trainer, but my breathing was shallow since I was squeezed in. I worked on deeper breathing while wearing this, and it’s coming along, slowly but surely.
- Men wear weight belts at the gym all the time! 유씨 wears something similar to this waist trainer when we do Body Beast, but obviously his is not so tight. He uses it for back support, and I’ll use the Active Band Waist Trainer to support my back!
- If you’re on Instagram, check out the #BeTheHourglass hashtag. Va-va-va-voom, ladies! They look amazing. Curvy and beautiful. I’ll get there, too!
