A member asked:

Can loose skin on thighs tighten up with strength training exercises & cardio?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: But you are young. If you dropped a large amount of fat, leaving skin stretched out, the skin may slowly shrink to accommodate to a slimmer body. Exercise is very good for you. I hope you keep it up.
