"Slimmer belt"...do they work?

David06

Yesterday one of the trainers at my gym said I should get a "belt". Something like this or this.

I do have a lot of fat to lose, mostly in my stomach, some in my upper body(AKA I have a small pair of man boobs). Do these really work? I've seen a few guys at the gym wearing them, but are they really effective? I sweat so damn much as it is...

I don't get what its supposed to do... it just looks like a girdle...

I don't know I guess they keep your stomach warm and cause it to produce more sweat...supposed to help you lose fat off of your stomach. If you go to the first link, the Amazon link, some of the reviews help to explain it.

I know they are used alot by women to get that nice hourglass shape and make the waist small. kinda like a corset

I'm not sure if they work. But if you look closely de la hoya was wearing one whilst training for pbf on the 24/7 episodes.

That's what I always thought, but I see a decent amount of people wearing them at my gym...Thought maybe they knew something I didn't, especially since I am new to boxing.

It's amazing how you can convince people of something, without providing any evidence.
