SAGGY SKIN AND THE GYM!!

[grom]

Thought peeps might like to hear about my gym experiences so far!

When I had my fitness assessment I explained in great detail about my op as I wanted a programme that would strengthen and tone rather than lots of fat burning stuff. The instructor had never come across a bypass before but eventually understood what I was on about!!

He devised a fab programme which concentrates on all my areas of concern - inner thighs, under arms, tum and bust - and after just 8 visits I can already see a difference!

I'm sure I will still be left with plenty of excess skin but at least I will have done everything possible to minimise it!

If anyone is thinking of joining a gym my advice is - don't just settle for an 'off-the-shelf' exercise programme, make sure you get one that is really tailored to your abilities but also has plenty of toning exercises. The first time I did it I thought I was going to die, but now I can manage it with ease!!

Just off to polish my halo ..............................:angel09:

Thats brilliant grom. I have been advised to do water based exercise at the moment as its easier on the joints. im hoping that when the time comes for removal of my skin that all my muscles are nice an toned.
By the way hows that coat coming along!!!!!!!! is it too big yet?

thanks gang. Another amusing thing - got measured for a new bra as I thought I had really shrunk. I have gone from 42DD to a 38F - how cool does that sound!!
