Fajas are nothing new for us Latinas, but ever since Jessica Alba revealed that wearing a corset "day and night for three months" post-pregnancy was how she dropped her baby weight, there's been a corset craze–and I'm not talking Spanx! I know women who wear those tight corsets (the kind that's fastened with hooks) for hours at a time, to bed and lately I've been noticing chicas even wearing them at the gym. But do waist trainers even work?

There's been a lot of controversy surrounding the faja diet and wearing a corset while working out, but some trainers still insist that the old-school method does bring results. Fitness enthusiast Morgan "Monroe" McGee, founder of Curves By Monroe, swears by it. "Waist trainers work. Period," she told Ebony.com. "Corsets have been worn for centuries and women have achieved their desired shape." If you have what it takes to squeeze into a super-tight faja then here are five workout corsets you might want to try!

Curves by Monroe
The Curves by Monroe Sport Corset is designed to wear while being physically active. All you have to do is wrap the snatcher around your midsection. Apparently it creates compression in your core and stimulates thermal activity and perspiration throughout your workout. Sounds legit to me! Curvesbymonroe.com, $55
Whats a waist
Khloe Kardashian swears by the Whats a Waist Very Aggresive Gym & Garment. It's pricey, but if it leaves you with a waist like this it might be well worth it! Whatsawaist.com, $143
Ami
The Cincher by Ami A102 is made with PowerLatex and FlexiBoning that helps cinch in your waist up to 4 inches while still keeping you comfortable. You hear that? Yup, you can breathe in this one! Hourglassangel.com, $54
Ann Cherry
The Ann Cherry Women’s Workout Waist Cincher is another favorite. And don’t worry about feeling uncomfortable, it has front hook-and-eye closoures but it’s made of super soft cotton. Amazon.com, $30
Danksin
I don’t have the will power to work out while wearing a faja, so I use the Danksin Waist Trimmer Belt instead. The Velcro closure is super easy to use and adjustable. It’s light-weight, stimulates water loss during exercise and even helps improve posture. Amazon.com, $13
