Cardio Mix: If you adipose tissue that you'd like to lose then consider an increase in cardio and a balanced diet. However, do not always do the same exercise or you will increase your risks for stress injuries. Mix things up with running, biking, swimming, or circuit training. Ultimately you need to burn more than you consume.

Exercise: Excess skin is usually due to significant weight loss. Exercise that hypertrophy muscle will "fill in" the void to a certain extent. Easier for men than women. Most likely will require body modification surgery by plastic surgeon if excessive.
