Topic: RE: Questions Anyone???
Thanks! I had heard water aerobics and swimming help a lot too. I want to see how far I can go without plastic surgery.

Cardio and weight lifting are the best means of toning. I cannot really speak about long term because I am only 9 months out. The way that I figure is the first year is about weight loss and year 2 is about toning. That is why I decided not to think about plastic surgery until 2 years out. I think any type of exercise is better than nothing at all. Just remember it will not happen over night and will take time.
