Best Exercises

Which exercises are the best to build muscle mass and help reduce the amount of excess skin? I am bit under the illusion that there will be zero excess skin and I know that there are several factors in the amount of excess skin you have and how well it recovers...would like to hear some things that have worked for others. Thanks :)

    That's fantastic! I'm just looking forward to being more active as the weight comes off. I've got psoriatic arthritis and it really effects my feet and ankles, but I've also got all this weight making me heavier and that causes a good deal of pain as well as a lack of mobility. Anyone have any thoughts on circuit training? one if the local gyms here provides the employees at my hotel with free memberships in exchange for free nights when they need them...it's really great!

    It was totally inexpensive...I only paid about 12 bucks for the brush and the lotion altogether.
