Strengthen Barnet recommends strength training to increase muscle mass, which will take up less space than fat and help your skin appear more taut. Plus, any sort of strength training helps increase your baseline metabolism. Here's one of her total body strength moves you can try at the gym or at home:
Squat Plus Curl and Press
1. Select medium to heavy weights, between 5 and 10 pounds for most women, and let your arms hang by your sides holding the weights.
2. Descend into a squat, like you're sitting in a chair.
3. As you stand up, bicep curl the weights up to your shoulders with your palms facing up.
4. Turn the palms forward as you straighten your arms and press the weights directly overhead.
5. Return back to start by reversing the arm motion and repeat.
