After speaking with a professional trainer, TGT found there is no proof waist training helps you get flat abs. Sure, it may help you achieve a slimmer look, but it's only temporary — your body will eventually return to the way it was. If you do want that killer bod — we're sorry to say — you need to hit the gym and get your sit-ups on. In fact, wearing these corsets for a long period of time can impact your internal organs. So could the Kardashian trend be doing more harm than good?
