I really did not like this belt. It was not me. It is great for fat people, I sent him great detail and is very hard. my opinion, is a matter of try it and see how it suits you. my I did not like. excuse my English. use translator

In my opinion, Yes! I had this belt and used it specifically to work out in. It's probabaly better to have it on when exercising as supports your back really well.

You can but for myself, I'd say no. I wouldn't use it to do those routines because it does restrict severe movement. There is flexibility in the belt but with severe movements you have greater awkward feeling of movement.

Perhaps a bit for pulldowns, but you can adjust by kneeling or squatting in front facing the machine when doing pulldowns. You should be OK for the other exercises.

Not unless the shirt is very large and untucked. The pouch on the side hangs down close to the beltline and would be very uncomfortable under a tucked in shirt. Think jacket rather than shirt.

Yes, if worn against the skin. If worn over underclothes it will also abrade the material. We have had to trim the excess velcro and restitch it to avoid this. The upside is they give you enough material to custom fit the belt.

Not necessary. The belt sits comfortably around the hip. Tighten the belt according to your fit and it should stay put. It works for me with running shorts and biking tights.

I haven't nor do I think it would be good to do so. For the life of me I can't think of why anyone would want to. It's not a back support belt like for warehouse workers. It's a lifting belt. It doesn't support your back directly. It's actually made for your belly to push against to increase the pressure in your abdominal cavity which, in turn, supports your spine. For this it works great. It's light weight and soft enough. It will leave a mark, if during a squat, the skin gets pinched between the belt and my shorts. Then again, any belt will do the same. I've lost a lot of weight over the years and I do a lot of running. I've not ever needed a belt for back support while doing so. If one thinks they do then a look at form should be in other. There is more to running form than just going fast. Believe me, I didn't know what I didn't know about running, lifting, or biking until I was shown the proper way. ("Proper" meaning what is correct for my body type, fitness level, and goals.) Hope this helps.

I recommend you contact the seller. I've never used the belt so I hesitate to guess.

On its own absolutely not. If you use it while working out the compression and added warmth of the belt HELPS burn the belly fat. I am using postpartum and have noticed a big difference in sagging skin, it's much more taught.

Not at all. Hip Hop Abs is really fun but, no where near as challenging as Insanity. Hip Hop Abs almost seems like its for beginners or just a daily maintenance video to get you off the couch everyday. Hope this helps.

it's kind of big, so, I'd say no, not under clothes. it's similar to a weight belt

Yes it will definitely control stomach jiggle with any type of exercise. I wear it during spin class, Zumba, and other cardio workouts. I also wear it when weight lifting. It doesn't move loosen at all. As for seeing the sweat, you are definitely going to see some. I rarely would sweat at the gym now it's like a waterfall when I take the belt off. Sometimes you can see the sweat through my shirt as it trickles down from the belt.

Ask yourself...."Am I going to exercise along with wearing the belt?" Then yes its worth every penny! Nothing worth having comes without first putting in a little work!

I can't see why you couldn't as the vest falls just below your chest. Unfortunately I don't do traditional sit-ups anymore to give you a true answer. I take on the non-traditional ab/core workout as you would see in the Insanity program. The vest never bunches up for anything else that I do. Its very well built and the velcro straps are sturdy so it keeps it tight to the body. I can say that the vest is one of the best purchases for training purposes that have ever made. You'll be amazed how fast you get used to the weight during your workout. I swear by it and highly recommend it. Hope that helped.
