Sagging appears, basically, due to the lack of movement or exercise in a muscle, which causes a deficit in tension.

Sagging epidermal tissue may also occur, but this is simpler to treat, since with some specific exercises the situation is reversed.

However, it is necessary to know that the elasticity of the skin and its recovery is an arduous and long process that does not depend only on the movements that are carried out.
