For heavy lifting: A Neoprene belt with polymer stays — flexible enough for squats, firm enough for core bracing. Adjustable Velcro lets you fine-tune mid-set.
For HIIT and cardio: A multi-lock polymer bone belt with breathable fabric — four closure points stay locked through burpees and sprawls.
For all-day desk support: A breathable knit belt with pulley system — contoured for sitting, not squatting. Cool enough for 8-hour shifts.
Visual smoothing only. Not a medical device.
