Strength training ​

Pull up bars with rubber resistance band are great items to have. No need for a gym.

I go over my fitness routine here.

Notes ​

• Lift weights. An increase in muscle will pull the skin tighter. Without any muscle size you'll just be 'skinny fat.'
• If you have a squat rack, a bench, and a bar, I recommend the 5x5 program. There’s an app called StrongLifts that does a solid job of helping guide form and track your progress. You start out with the empty bar and work up in 5lb increments on 5 different core barbell lifts (10lb increments on deadlift), 3 times per week, alternating A and B programs, always with the squat in the mix. Within about 8 weeks you will notice a big difference.
