Fusion Hack: Waist Trainers And Belts With Dove Putterman

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Dove Putterman breaks down one of the most misunderstood topics in the fitness world: waist trainers vs. weight belts — what they are, what they’re not, and why so many athletes are confused about them.What starts as playful banter quickly shifts into a real conversation as Dove explains why LPF trainers don’t recommend waist trainers, how they affect breathing, posture, and body dysmorphia, and why they’re used more for aesthetics than function. She opens up about the psychology behind them, the insecurities they can amplify, and the pressure many women feel to “snatch” their waist instead of strengthening their core. The conversation dives into the appropriate use of weight belts — when they matter, when they’re unnecessary, and why they should never be a substitute for building real stability. It’s practical, relatable, and brutally honest — a conversation every athlete, competitor, or gym-goer should hear. Dr. Dove Putterman is a wife and a proud mother of FIVE amazing children! Seven years after giving birth to triplets, she stepped on stage for the first time and went on to earn her Wellness IFBB Pro card at the Natural Canadian Pro Qualifier. Struggling with core control issues after pregnancy, she discovered Low Pressure Fitness through the bodybuilding community which not only transformed her physique and remedied her lower back pain, but also inspired her to become a coach working with athletes from amateur competitors to Olympians and helping them master core control for posing, training and stability not to mention developing that hourglass shape on stage!https://www.instagram.com/drdove_ifbbprohttps://www.fitbodyfusion.com/pages/online-competition-coachingWelcome to FitBody Lifestyle the podcast hosted by Jami and Greg DeBernard!
