Strech marks and exercise?

Question

I have stretch marks on my stomach from having a pregnancy 4 years ago and I was wondering if through cardio work and ab work will they at least be less noticable?

Answer 1

well that would be beneficial but it is better to consult doc as they can advise you some good cream or lotion for that and they do leave a good response.as in fact when you loose weight stretch marks are more visible

Answer 2

cardio work cannot make your stretch mark less noticeable.

The following are some easy tips for stretch mark prevention.

Do not gain or lose weight rapidly. If your body changes its physical composition too quickly, all the processes may not function properly. In relation to stretch marks this means collagen and elastin may not be produced fast enough. These elements are essential for keeping your skin flexible and smooth.

Keep your body hydrated. You have undoubtedly heard it before, but there is never too much information on the benefit of drinking water. Water helps to prevent stretch marks by helping the body stay moisturized. There are constant debates over the amount of water an individual should consume. The best indicator is your urine. Urine that is close to colorless is an indication that you are well hydrated. You should drink many glasses of water per day. Also, try to ensure that it is pure water as some flavored waters have additives and colorings that take away from the quality of the water.

Answer 3

No. Stretch marks are basically holes in the skin that needed to be "patched up" very very fast. The material that our body uses for the emergency patching will never go away, and will never become less noticeable. Also, try to avoid tanning. You can prevent stretch marks, but once they are there, they are there forever. Sorry.
