A member asked:

Good health 18 year old girl can i corset train to because a waist size 26 like is it dangerous ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not dangerous: But a better way to reduce waist size is with exercise. Techniques under the watchful eye of a trainer such as squats and other weight training can tighten the waist as well as improve overall fitness. Corset use will not work. Remember, waist size is a relative number and your height may make a goal of 26 inches unrealistic.
