    I have this concern. Especially after being overweight for 17 years and having 5 kids. I'm doing Zumba right now and the cardio is helping, but I need to find something to tighten up the lose lower belly. Surgery is not an option!

    There really isn't an exercise you can do for your skin- the best thing you can do to help minimize the appearance is to make sure you are building muscle as you lose weight. You'll need something to fill out the skin after the fat is no longer filling it out. I had a trainer tell me two weeks ago that he could build me a routine that would get rid of my loose skin- I told him there was no way. When he argued with me I pulled up my sleeve and showed him my arms, and he said "Oh- wow, I can't fix that." I was like "duh". I lost 140 pounds, only surgery will fix this. Depressing but true.
