Does resistance training help fight saggy skin?

Im working on losing weight, have my diet down and is doing good. Havent started exercising at all though, just trying to become more active at work to help out more. I know I need to exercise though, I cant walk or anything because my joints suck due to my weight and laziness. For cardio Im planning on just doing the recumbant bike until I can do more strenuous cardio.

Losing that much weight you must include reisistance training to build a little muscle and tone up so you will not end up will a ton a saggy skin. Here are some proven tips that will work for you>>

Keys to losing weight(keep a journal)>>>
•This year I have had many good clients and two of them were each able to lose well over 100 lbs. by following the tips that I will give you below>>>
1)Diet = daily caloric intake reduced by 500 calories below what is required for your target weight. Do reduce any more than this or your body will go into starvation mode and your metabolism will slow down as much as 40%. Then there will be no weight loss and you will wonder why. Eat 3 well balanced meals & 2 fruit snacks (carbs, including complex carbs & protein in each meal). Spread your calories out evenly. Cut right back on the sweets and fatty foods. Each balanced meal will contain good carbs & lean protein. No meals in the later evening, just a snack.

2)Cardio = The most important part of losing weight and doing so quickly. It can be something as simple as 30 min. of brisk walking daily and worked progressively up to 2 hours x (3 to 4 days per week) and 1 hour on the in between days. A large volume of cardio will be where you really notice the biggest losses. When in school and after school it is very important to be very active in many sports when your body is maturing. Cardio can also be split up into segments. Whatever works for you. I call this a Progressive Loading Volume of Cardio and is the most important aspect to losing a lot of weight quickly. Even after a cardio session your metabolism will remain elevated and thus, more weight loss.

3)Weights = Circuit training where you do 1 set per body part and upon completion that will be 1 superset. This works very well for women. The number of supersets can be built up to 4 or 5. No rest between sets but a 1 minute rest after each superset. For men you can work each bodypart 2x per week and never work the same bodypart 2 days in a row (Exceptions are: Cardio, Abs, Calves & Forearms). For men do a pushing bodypart & a pulling bodypart to get the most out of the workout. Try doing Chest & Back and Bi’s & Tri’s & Forearms

4)Abs = A good ab routine that hit all parts of the abs (upper & lower abs, obliques & sides). 1 superset of (1 set crunches + 1 set kneeins + 1 set crunches>to right knee then down & up to left knee + 1 set sidebends + 1 set of kneeins or legraises). As you get use to this build up reps and supersets. Once abs are very strong add on weight to build ab thickness. Very important.

5)Rest = very important and often overlooked. You do not grow bigger in the gym. That is where you tear down your muscle fibers. At home with proper rest and good nutrition is where you rebuild your muscles bigger & stronger.

6)Supplements = you do not need all of these fancy named supplements. You just need a basic whey protein with no added carbs so that you can add your own carbs. I also take a multi vitamin to ensure I am getting all of the nutrients my body requires. I also take a capsule with plant sterols & plant lipids. The plant sterols are perfectly legal and they kick my butt, and have greatly increased my strength. I feel that the plant sterols may mimmick testosterone in a way.
