Question 1

does wrapping an ace bandage or saran wrap around your waist really work?

Accepted Answer

Not Really....: Wrapping yourself in Saran wrap isn't the best ideal to lose weight.  The occlusion of the skin increases temperature, causes more sweating and forces you to lose water weight.  The problem is you have to replace the fluids from the sweating, so it has a 0 net effect.  You are better off at the gym exercising at your elevated zone for 30+ minutes and watching your diet.

Question 2

will wrapping rash with saran wrap heal rash?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

are those wraps for your waist, thighs, etc that i see online and elsewhere safe?

Accepted Answer

Safe but ineffective: I assume you are speaking about wraps to help lose weight or detoxify your body.  While they may feel good while on, they do little to change body contours in the long run.  In some cases, rashes can occur in the area of the wrap.  The costs vary, but best save your money.

Question 4

how do i exercise my waist?

Accepted Answer

For weight loss ...: You cannot target specific areas for weight loss - if you have adipose tissue to lose (not everyone does), then consider an increase in cardio & a balanced diet.
