It looks like Kim Kardashian is taking some fitness pointers from her sister Khloe. All Kim talks about these days is how she's trying to slim down. Just last week we heard how she lost seven pounds in just two weeks due to a restrictive, low-carb diet she's been on. But is she also getting a little extra help from a a faja? It sure looks that way. In fact, she recently posted a pic to Instagram where she's wearing the same Whats a Waist corset that Khloe works out with!

The workout faja retails for $143.50 and supposedly helps to reduce your waist up to seven inches. I really don't get Kim, isn't her waist tiny enough? Funny thing is, waist trainers are nothing new especially not for us Latinas. Most of the women in my family wore one post-pregnancy and that includes my mom, abuelita, tías and cousins. Even Jessica Alba revealed that she wore a corset "day in and night" for three months after pregnancy. Nowadays chicas aren't just wearing them under their outfits, they're rocking them at the gym too. But do these things actually work?
There's always 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. If you think you have what it takes to squeeze into a super-tight faja, then here are seven workouts 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

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

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
