Combining CoolSculpting With Exercise

Are you looking to tone up your tummy, firm your thighs, or define your upper arms? Many women and men in the Pacific Northwest rely on CoolSculpting to help them say goodbye to stubborn fat. This quick, convenient non-surgical treatment uses a targeted freezing technology to reduce fat bulges and enhance body outlines.

Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Douglas Key offers this non-invasive treatment for patients who want to improve their figure without incisions, sutures, or downtime.

Add Some Exercise

While CoolSculpting can provide excellent results on its own, it is not a substitute for maintaining a healthy body weight through nutrition and exercise. However, many of our patients report being so thrilled with CoolSculpting’s ability to reshape their trouble zones that they feel a renewed motivation to pursue their fitness goals.

While the fat we remove with CoolSculpting is gone for good, you will still gain weight if you consume more calories than you burn. By following a workout regimen after CoolSculpting, you will continue to enjoy a sleek, lean physique and look fabulous in your favorite outfits.

Enhance Your CoolSculpting Results

As you’ve probably learned, there is no shortcut to getting in shape and enhancing your confidence. However, after CoolSculpting, you can finally achieve your optimal results by removing the unwelcome fat pockets that previously came between you and your goals.

Adding exercise to your daily routine will help you achieve your ideal shape sooner and extend the treatment benefits longer. And combining your fitness regimen with sensible eating habits can help you prevent future weight gain.

What Exercises Should I Do?

For best results, your fitness routine should include a mix of cardio activity and weightlifting. Muscles burn far more calories than fat, so building lean muscle mass will help increase your metabolism – even when yocan u’re at rest.

If you’re starting regular workouts again after a long period of inactivity, you should exercise at least three times per week for 30 minutes each to give your body time to recover. Don’t push yourself too hard – brisk walks are an excellent starting point. As your fitness level grows, you can develop a workout routine that suits your availability and lifestyle.

For the weightlifting portion of your regimen, you can do resistance exercises like planks and triceps dips at home using your body weight. If you prefer to work out with free weights or training equipment at a gym, work with an on-site trainer who can instruct you on how to correctly and safely target specific body parts.

Be sure to work your way up to lifting heavy weights slowly. The worst thing to do to yourself is to sustain an injury during your workout.
