A girdle is an undergarment made of thick fabric and worn around the midsection. Also known as waist trainers, body shapers or belly binders, the primary aim of this type of underwear is to give you a smaller waistline. It can be cinched up either with hooks, laces or Velcro.

Benefits of Girdles

There’s no doubt that wearing a girdle makes you look slimmer, accentuating your shape to create the highly coveted hourglass figure.

This can be a major confidence boost!

The girdle has also been linked with weight loss which is most likely due to loss of fluids through perspiration. Wearing a girdle also makes you eat less since your stomach is compressed and this makes you feel full faster, decreasing your appetite.

Improved posture is another benefit of wearing a girdle.

Wearing a Girdle While Exercising

There are varying views on the practice of wearing a girdle while exercising and if it has any benefits. For some, girdles or waist trainers can reduce belly fat and are even believed to have the ability to produce results similar to liposuction when they are used during exercise.

However, exercising with a girdle can severely restrict your movements, making it difficult to workout properly. It can also make it difficult to breathe in deeply while you exercise. As tissues and muscles need oxygen, particularly during exercise, wearing a girdle is counterproductive because it decreases the amount of oxygen you can take in, making it harder to exercise.

As girdles and shapewear compress your stomach, they push down on the diaphragm as well, preventing you from taking in full breaths. When we exercise, our respiration rate increases. But if we can’t breathe in deeply, we get tired quickly and can have breathing difficulties. Some girdles are made from thick, non-breathable fabric which prevents sweating.

Sweating during exercise is necessary to regulate body temperature and keep the body cool. Wearing a girdle to exercise reduces or prevents sweat from escaping, which makes you hot and very uncomfortable.

But with Luxx Waist Trimmer Belt, you can get all the support you need while exercising without any of the above problems!

The Luxx Waist Trimmer Belt was explicitly designed to be worn at the gym. It provides extreme support, acting as a compression binder to offer lumbar support, particularly during deadlift workouts and squats. Also, the breathable fabric prevents sweating and accumulation of moisture. Instead, as mentioned earlier, it is comfortable to wear both at rest or during work outs.
