Who doesn’t want to look their best on their wedding day, or any day for that matter? Wondering how you can look and feel your best on your wedding day (and every other day)? With Shapewear! The following article by Sarah Hayden and Yummie explains the key reasons and benefits to try Shapewear.
Ever wondered why even the slimmest people swear by shapewear? That’s because, as well as giving you a slim and smooth silhouette every single time (whether it’s at the office, home, or even a fancy wedding), wearing bridal shapewear has so many other benefits too.
Health, happiness, fitness, and so much more – shapewear goes a lot further than slimming! Take a look at some of the other benefits of shapewear below and let us know if any of them surprised you…
Confidence
The smooth and slim silhouette a woman gets from shapewear undeniably does wonders for her confidence and self-esteem. How can it not?
As shapewear can slim and enhance your natural features, clothing fits in a better and more flattering way. This undoubtedly boosts your confidence, and makes your self-esteem go through the roof! And we all know that the right amount of confidence can help us succeed at anything work and life throws at us.
The Best Body Shaper by Vedette 104 is an all-over shaper that can benefit all body types. As if by magic, it works by slimming the waist, lifting the butt and bust, and controlling the hips and thighs all at the same time.
Posture Support
Did you know that shapewear can greatly affect your posture in the short term and the long term?
Good posture has numerous health benefits. Having good posture is easier on your joints and spine, which will help you breathe more easily and more efficiently. It’s even been proven to improve your energy levels, as well as mood and overall mental health. No wonder good posture is so important!
There are many types of shapewear to choose from if good posture is your ultimate goal. Go for any firm compression piece that supports the torso, as that can improve your posture while you wear it. The Mia Corselette Body Shaper by Vedette 136 is a great example; it’s supported by shoulder straps, and will give you a firm, tall hold.
Increased Heat Benefits
We all know that our body temperature tends to rise when we are wearing shapewear. And unless we are in a non-air-conditioned room in the UAE in the height of summer, this is actually a good thing. Stimulating heat and perspiration is what makes shapewear so effective; even more so when it comes to the art of waist training and working out…
Wearing compression shapewear such as waist trainers, shaping leggings and compression tops when working out can get you even better results than working out in ordinary gym gear. Thanks to shapewear, you will stimulate thermal activity in the skin underneath, which will therefore stimulate perspiration and also increase the intensity of the workout. Who knew?
Complementing Your Weight Loss Journey
As mentioned above, shapewear can dramatically aid you in your weight loss journey. To intensify your workouts, we recommend wearing your shapewear while doing a combination of cardio and strength training. This should be paired with a healthy and nutritious diet of course, as abs are made in the kitchen as opposed to the gym!
Not only does shapewear add to the intensity of your workout, but the illusion of a slimmer silhouette could even give you added motivation to push yourself in the gym and eat better. You may be less tempted to snack on junk food when you see what your body could look like without shapewear!
And speaking of diet, shapewear in the form of a compression garment such as a waist trainer, for example, can also help you eat smaller portions which can contribute to your weight loss. The waist trainer will restrict your midsection, which will make eating large meals uncomfortable. We suggest eating around five to six small meals a day, rather than two or three large ones. Snack on small portions of fruit and nuts – and don’t forget to drink lots of water!
As you can see, with shapewear not only can you look and feel your best on your wedding day (and every other day) but you’ll have other health benefits as well.
