In a typical day, what do you do for exercise?

I walk for about two miles and do strength training so that when I lose weight fast, the loose skin won't be *as* bad.

What do you do?

just so you know, you'll have a lot of excess skin no matter what (unfortunately!!)

I of course don't do all of these every day (usually only one per day, 5-6 times a week): swimming, Water aerobics, stationary bike, walking, weight machines, TRX, yoga

I swim.

Gym. Cardio & stretching every day (treadmill, elliptical) and strength training 3x a week

make it a great day

Very good! I think I might be over doing it on the strength training. I want to do my upper body every other day and on the days I'm not doing it, build up the muscles on my legs, but I REALLY want to stay on top of my triceps. So I work them out every day.

How soon can u start exercising after ur operation..I'm already walking 15 mins per day n had my surgery a week ago

Weekly Routine

2 days spin class

3 days weight lifting

1 day running

I'm down 150 lbs and have very little sagging skin. My Dr attributes this to lots of exercise and Water.

Do you think The exercises I'm doing is enough to prevent skin saggage?

This is my fall and winter schedule (due to more darkness and colder weather)

2 days spin class (1 hr)
2 days weight lifting & Cardio (1 hr)
2 days Elliptical (1 hr)

Come late Spring I shift to more outside cycling in early AM and evenings, and only a couple days in the gym for weight training.

Everyone has different goals and likes. I am not sure any or all helps the skin be tighter, but the strength and health is the greatest improvement.

It certainly seems sufficient, along with lots of Water. However, everyone reacts differently so it's not guaranteed. But, at least you'll know that you did the most possible to prevent or minimize sagging, but you'll definitely benefit with a healthier body which is probably more important.

I run 30 + miles per week, do power/vinyasa/Ashtanga yoga and have big time muscles (18% body fat). Didn't stop me from having excess skin.

Don't count on exercise to fix that, but don't let it stop you! So many other benefits!!!
