Re: Exercise to help skin?Mickey

[Guest guest]

Hi- I am an exercise fanatic. Stomach crunches and lifting legs are a great

help. Ecercise builds muscle and strenghthens but it is very hard to make

your stomach go back. Carney worked with a trainer every day and

still wound up with 8 pounds of excess skin on her stoach. I know that i

will need to do surgery if I want to be flat. But-exercise can't hurt. Ellen

Hi Ellen -

I actually have hired a personal trainer and will begin working with

him next week. I am very excited. I have been walking 2 miles or

using my nordic trac about 30 minutes a day. (that's his name)

will develop a training program for me for now and then when I advance

later, he will help me revise the program. I am so happy - he comes

from a medical background and completely understands our surgery!!

I will let you all know of the types of exercises that he suggests for

my program.

Have a great day everyone ~

God bless!
