I swam for years and always kept in great shape.
I quit for 2 years. After turning 41, which was 7 months ago, I started back up again. I swim 5 days a week for an hour, mostly freestyle. I'm in great shape again everywhere except for this stomach fat I can't seem to lose. Can anyone recommend any good workouts that can get rid of this?

Note to Phil: I understand the logic to your statement, but follow this.......
On Sept. 1st, I began the long grind into the end of the age-group; you know, getting in the best shape you can for the Jan. 1st age-up. What I have been doing is a daily series of minor calisthenics, starting easy and adding 3 reps each week I do crunches, sitting cycles, twists, bends and use my Ab-Slide machine.
I have made no change whatsoever to my diet, in fact I may be eating more because I was afraid of losing muscle along with fat.
Honest to Ted Williams, my mid-section is noticeably smaller, even to be noticed by team-mates !
What's the deal ? Am I just tightening up those muscles? It surely seems more than that. What would be your explanation ?
