Malaja is a part-time blogger who aspires to help others become the best they can be, one person at a time. But helping others along their journey to self-improvement means that she also needs to better herself. For the last few years, Malaja hasn't been satisfied with her body image. Hitting the gym didn't help—she couldn't find the motivation to take her workouts to the next level.

That's when she decided to add a workout band to her routine. In addition to the immediate slimming (which was a huge confidence booster), she suddenly found the motivation to intensify her exercise regimen and change her eating habits as well. Within weeks, she noticed starting to see changes to her waistline, and everyone else noticed her results too. We caught up with Malaja recently to learn more about her journey.

1. Tell us a little about yourself.

I am a part-time blogger. I aspire to inspire the world, one person at a time, to help them become a better them.

2. Why did you decide to try waist training?

I decided to start waist training to help get rid of a gut that I have been struggling with for the past couple of years.

3. What garments did you use, and why?
   

I choose to use the Curve Creator latex workout band because I am a beginner at the gym, and when I used the workout band, it makes me sweat harder. It helps me tremendously to lose fat in unwanted areas around my torso.

4. What were your first impressions?

When I first put the garment on I was about to start a workout at home. I loved everything about it. I found it to be undetectable under certain garments when applied the correct way. I was in front of a mirror both when I first applied it before the gym as well as after my work out.

5. What was your waist training routine?

I wore my garment for about 4-5 days a week, during my gym sessions. I also began to wear it during the summer months when running errands.

6. Did the garment meet your goals and expectations? How so?

Yes, I did meet my goals. It helped me lower my gut as well as shaped my body.

7. What were your diet and fitness habits during your waist training journey?

I was hitting the gym every other day. I started detoxing my body almost every other day as well. I also switched my eating habits to all organic foods.

8. In the past, have you faced any challenges with weight-loss and/or fitness?

I never had the motivation I needed at the gym. I wasn't seeing the results I wanted. I just felt like a slob.

9. When did you start seeing results?

I started seeing small results within a couple of weeks.

10. Has anyone else noticed your results?

Everybody has noticed my results! Everybody has asked me what I am doing to get my results. I always tell them that I have been waist training and hitting the gym.

11. What would you say to others who are thinking about trying waist training?

I always tell my friends and family to go for it. Waist training really works if you do it the right way.
