Keys to Fitness: Loose Skin

Introduction

Hello Everyone!!

Firstly let's get the excuse of being "too old" to get in shape out of the way.
For me my birthday is just a date on a calender as i have competed for over a decade against competitors half my age. How you might ask? By having the knowledge of how the body functions and just as importantly how to get the most out of your workouts, i will pass on my wisdom & tips to you my fellow bloggers and followers.

The "Key"(s) to exercise is having a variety. First not allowing the task to become boring and/or cumbersome as you must keep the brain guessing thus eliminating the plateau effect. Also when changes are not immediate one tends to become frustrated and feels like quitting, so we are going to change this with the blog to keep the routines far from boring and productive.

Secondly i will pass on knowledge regarding nutrition and water which is critical. You can work out all you want but remember what you do during exercise is tearing down the muscle and if you don't repair and hydrate you are just wasting your time, this aspect is probably 60%+ of the equation to a healthy body

Within the continuation of this blog, I will show you how to improve your health, change your shape and improve your game.... from the serious athlete to the weekend warrior. There will be video's of weight bearing exercises per body part and routines that everyone can fit in to their schedule and lifestyle no matter how hectic it is.

And remember, there is no point in having an empire if you are not around to enjoy it. Your body is a temple!

Yours in Fitness,

Loose Skin

As we go down that road to better health on the Keys2Fitness Express, naturally we are going to lose weight and with that in some cases is loose skin. Not too worry bloggers, i don't have a Hollywood address and looking to do some expensive surgery on the side lol, so here is some far cheaper ways that might help.
A) First, think about how long it took to put on the extra poundage? .... give it up to 2yrs you reach your target weight and for the skin to go back where it once was. B) Exfoliate your skin daily to remove dead cells and to stimulate circulation, that will help tighten up your skin. C) Once a week have a bath with a 1/2 lb of pure sea salt ( allow it to dissolve) as this draws out your toxins in your skin. D) Use aloe vera/yeast extract or soy protein to improve your skins elasticity. E) Eating raw cucumbers, tomatoes, olives or coconuts will again improve your skins elasticity. F) Hyaluronic Acid is a natural fluid found in our body's tissues but it leaves us in time.....so to replace it, you can take a magnesium supplement. G) Finally, maybe that loose skin could be just more fat to exercise off?...if so, keep on training and replace it with muscle.
