Angelina Jolie, Her Firm Abs and The Cinch


So how did Angelina Jolie bounce back so fast after giving birth?
How did she achieve her after pregnancy weight loss?
According to some sources, it's because of a waist-cinching belt called, appropriately enough, The Cinch.

The Cinch is a foot-high canvas belt that wraps around a woman's waist and promises to help new mothers "regain their figures, by tightening all the abdominal muscles with the dual front panels and further cinching with double side wings".

The Cinch has allegedly been used by celebrities like Amy Poehler, Ashlee Simpson, Jennifer Garner, Gwen Stefani and Minnie Driver to regain their flat stomachs after childbirth.

Angelina did lost her "baby bump" pretty quickly, but I have seen women do that naturally, and I thought Angelina's return to fighting form was due to Gunnar Peterson, her personal trainer and hard work.
I have heard that Angelina spends five to six hours a day in the gym.

And while the Cinch is making a big splash, the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) in the UK is warning new mothers that the belt may not be for everyone.
A RCM spokesperson said...
It is not safe to wear them just after giving birth. I wouldn’t recommend it from a medical perspective. A midwife needs to check that a woman’s uterus is going down after birth. Wearing that could hide the fact that a woman’s uterus isn’t going down, and conceal internal bleeding.

A spokesperson for The Cinch said that they have not received any complaints about the product or any reports of mothers feeling unwell because of it.

The Cinch is being sold in the UK at Harrods
You can find The Cinch online here: http://www.duematernity.com/ciwrpococo.html
And it runs $86.00 here in the US.

A lot of the buzz about Angelina's stomach is coming from the fact that in her new movie Salt, there are scenes in it where she wears lingerie, and you can clearly see her flat stomach.
While some have claimed body double, her tattoos are visible.
And the last time we saw Angelina's tummy was back in Tomb Raider, before she had Shiloh and the twins.
In the new trailer for Salt, you can see the stomach in question at about 1:44...
