David Goggins talked about the mistakes that people usually make, saying:
"There is a secret. So most people who want to lose weight, they go into this serious cardiovascular, just dropping calories. What happens is you have this loose skin all over you body."
He continued:
"So I have this routine. I pick up a lightweight, let's say, it's a bench press. I can do the bar 100 times without stopping. You wanna pick something you can do over 100 times without stopping, so if you do stop, so your rest position is the up position and by you resting up, your muscles are still working and you can rest for 10 seconds. Kept that muscle nice and tight".
David explained that by including high number of reps, no matter how hard or easy the workout is, will always help in losing weight without having any loose skin on the body.
His routine of "100 to 500 routine" includes using light weights and repeating it as many times as he can. This helps him to lose weight without having any loose skin.

“My biggest fear is I really don't have any big fears because I know that I’m gonna attack it yeah.”
David also put stress on the vitality of figuring things out for yourself and adapting it to pave the way to a healthy body without any stretch marks and loose skin.
Factors causing loose skin
As David Goggins mentioned, there are several factors responsible that can make your skin loose. They are as follows:
Smoking
Consumption of cigarettes can reduce the production of collagen which enhances the loosening of skin. It does not affect your skin directly, but contributes to its development.
Sun exposure
Exposure to sunlight for a long period of time reduces the production of elastin and collagen which makes the skin saggy. Reduction of these components enhances the laxity of the skin after losing weight.
Aging
As people age, they start to lose dermal collagen fibrils, which turns into fragments that make your skin saggy and weak.
David unlocked a new and easy trick to avoid loose skin after weight loss and people who are working out should follow these steps in order to get their desired body free from stretch marks and loose skin.
