fp9107 121 Posted August 12, 2013 I am just looking for a little advice from someone about tightening up my stomach so that I do not have sagging skin. Do you have any exercises that have worked for you? Any help that you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted August 12, 2013 Just keep doing core work: v ups, sit-ups, planks, push ups, more plank, burpees, mountain climbers, etc. compound lifts are also going to really help tighten the core: back squats, wall ball throws, etc. do toe to bars if you have access to a pull-up bar. You might also see my thread about sweet sweat and mcdavid wrap from earlier today as a way to draw toxins from your core region. Keep drinking lots of Water to flush out the toxins from muscle break down due to working out and from those released from stored ft as it is convert to glycogen. Eat as clean as you can. Age and genetics also play a role in skin elasticity. However, I do believe with the right training and focus on good nutrition, anyone can tighten up the skin. Good luck! 2 GoldyGirl and Joe I reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted August 12, 2013 Sure - one of my responsibilities of being further out as a post op is to share information which others in order to help breed success. I am happy to do this. These techniques I have mentioned above have really helped me with tightening up the core section. The day will come when I can breath a sigh of relief and say "goal accomplished!" In the meantime, i am diligently working at this goal of getting a tight core daily. I am looking forward to having a rock hard core where I am proud of my shirt off without resorting to a TT. 2 mooregirl and vsginnj reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
