3+ post op TONING UP MUSCLES
I'm getting back on track with my exercise
and I've begun to use weights to tone up flabby skin
Now some skin I KNOW won't ever tone, but I have a LOT of FLAB that can be toned up
Is it POSSIBLE that my skin/muscles can tone and will my skin catch up to muscle tone or will that cause more sagging skin??
Any info is appreciated!
My skin was sagging in areas for the first two years...I did some serious muscle work outs with the job I had building decks and carrying lumber up and down stairs. I was absolutely stunned how my skin suddenly went where it was supposed to go for the most part. I used skin firming lotion religiously too! I still do. Even my breasts have tightened from these sad.... long...Never mind, the visual kills me! :) Now I have a little 36 B cup and they look perty good. I'm not 20 anymore, and that's just a fact....but toning muscles really REALLY makes a difference for certain! The older you get the more elasticity you lose. So I do what I can before I lose my menstral cycle. Even when I don't work out (like I should) I do still stretch tai chi style every day because I am sooo lazy in the winter!
Drinking lots of water and green teas...eating purple food and berries and enough good fats is amazing on skin too! I use Neutrogena with Copper(As in the mineral not a tanning dye) Skin Firming Lotion and I LOVE IT! It seems to have made a difference in my skin even over the alst year. I could be wrong, but I can live without plastics and accept my body with it's flaws. I don't think I could have if I looked like I did when I first lost the weight! (Before heavy duty lifting)
Good luck!
