Some celebrities swear by the new fitness fad of waist training. How it can do more harm than good...

If Kim Kardashian jumped off a bridge – would you? 

You might want to ask the same question about her fitness fad of choice – waist training. It’s not just Kim, several celebs, and fans alike, are trying to shrink their waistlines with the trendy craze.

Getting waisted involves working out or wearing a super-tight corset device for hours at a time – and it’s a waste of time. It may make for interesting selfies, but experts say it can be downright dangerous. Dr. Mary Jane Minkin, clinical professor of ob-gyn at Yale School of Medicine, says it’s ridiculous to think that compressing the waist will make it permanently smaller. It’s uncomfortable, restricts your movements and could even damage your ribs and other internal organs.
