Hi! Its officially summer for me and for me, favorite workout to do is swimming. I love the feeling of the water all around me and my arms and legs pulling me through it. I'm a horrible runner because I lack so much stamina but when I'm swimming I can go on forever. Which is good, considering have good swimming is for you. On average, you can burn 256 calories in just 30 minutes of swimming. To lose weight you really have to burn 500 calories a day. By swimming an hour a day, you go over that by 12.
Try mixing it up and swimming different ways to tone different muscles:
Lap 1: Backstroke: Concentrates on all back muscles and the hamstrings
Lap 2: Freestyle: Concentrates on biceps, triceps, pectoralis, shoulder muscles, trapezius, deltoids, gluteus, latissimus dorsi, hip flexors, and respiratory muscles
Lap 3: Breaststroke: Concentrates on inner and outer thighs, calf muscles, triceps
Lap 4: Butterfly: Concentrates on gluteus muscles, abdominals, back and shoulder muscles, quadriceps, hamstrings, biceps, triceps
