Body Sculpting

[Alan Armstrong]

What is body sculpting to you.

For me, it is training to balance my body to not only look fit body but to have a healthy body that looks proportional.

Un-proportional for me, is to have any type of limbs that don't look like they fit the main body.

An example could be any number of possibilities, one that comes to older looking men is to have a big belly with thin arms and legs; something I should look like for my age.

I don't look un-proportional due to body sculpting exercises.

As not looking top heavy or middle heavy or only looking lower developed.

Today we have many choices to what we look like structurally.

Too much of any one type doesn't appeal to me, thin, fat or muscular; I'm opting for normal overall proportions.

Overall proportional muscles with agility, flexibility and a normal working cardiovascular system.

As I'm not competing or looking to break any world records; just maintaining my human vehicle to keep it running and ticking over is a smart option for the older crowd.

Super models and actresses know about body sculpting to maintain their on screen image for as long as possible.

Body sculpting is an option, just for those that have never really given this subject any thought, then this is just an introduction for you.

Do you give an consideration to body sculpting in your workouts?

What body type do you consider best, for martial artists?

I'm sculpting my body right now, ever since October 2016.

As I lose weight, 70+ pounds thus far, I've developed some loose flab, if that's the proper term for that which is happening with me.

I've read that body builder have to continue lifting for the rest of their lives, or their body starts to, well, sag or droop or whatever.

As I drop weight, I have to do things to counter the sag, but that doesn't happen over night. I have the ugly sag/droop, and it disgusts me to no end.

I swim...I flip large truck tires...I use the medicine ball...I do a plethora of things to counter the sag/droop, BUT IT'S NOT WORKING the way I want it to or as fast as I want it to!!

By the time I lose 111lbs, I'll sag and droop even worse so.

Sculpting the body isn't as easy as I imagined it to be!! Just how in the world does a pregnant woman tone up her body after delivering a baby?? That's what I need to know. But, it's possible that the woman who's pregnant was already toned when she became pregnant, and she already had that within her. I was a fat body disgust...and now I sag/droop, even though I'm losing a lot of weight, thus far!!

In extreme cases of loose skin, surgical removal is an option.

Removing excess skin is also removing unnecessary weight.

Look at this way, the more loose skin you have the more it tells you how much you have gained; less of one thing means more of another.

It's the engine under the hood and not the body work that counts.
