How a teen girl can build muscle and lose loose skin after weight loss?
posted in Society & Cultures |Question by Charlie Sheen: How a teen girl can build muscle and lose loose skin after weight loss?
Ok so I am 15 and just recently lost about 45-50lbs. It wasn’t rapid weight loss because I knew I needed to give my skin time to “catch up”. I have obviously been drinking more water which should help a little with loose skin. Are their any excersises I could do to help with it? It is mostly around the top part of my arms (near my armpits) and the lower part of my stomach. It’s not too bad, but its noticeable. Also, the reason I lost all this weight (I’m still going to lose more) is because I am wanting to join the police explorers (it’s like an ROTC for police officers). I am trying to build muscle because of the pysical requirements. This is my daily routine I’m doing: 60 seconds of mountain climbers, 60 seconds or planking, 60 seconds of knee to elbow crunches 15 push-ups, and 10 stop-drop-roll push-ups/mountain climber combo. I have also taken up archery as well which has strengthened the muscles in my back and arms. I am also a brown belt in Taekwondo. Is there anything else I can add or do to help? I don’t sleep very well, and I don’t know if that would help me or not. I don’t eat breakfast either. Would that help? Again I’ve already lost like 50lbs. so I know I must be doing something right! Lol! Any advice would be great! Thanks and happy new year:)

There is nothing you can do about the loose skin.
If you want to build more muscle mass you have to do workouts that are low intensity high repetitions. (The opposite, low repetitions high intensity will build strength but won’t add muscle mass.) And you have to not work out the same muscle groups every day, the muscles need a day off after a good workout to recover and get bigger. If you want to work out every day, just alternate the muscle groups you’re targeting.
Sleeping better will definitely help.
