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?
Thanks Jim.
I guess my problem is that I am too competitive, with myself above all. I'm a perfectionist unfortunately. I know to swim faster that this stomach needs to go away- it's as simple as that, and not so simple!
I am an extremely healthy person. In fact, whenever I see my doctor and complain of my stomach she reminds me that my health is great and not to worry. (My HR is usually low 100s/high 60s, and my resting pulse is in the upper 50s). I can work out at a very high HR (in the upper 180s for a long time) and then it comes right back down. So, I know I'm healthy, and I attribute it lately to this nutrition program, however, the battle of the bulge rages on!
Maybe I'll try eating more, although now that I can't work out that's probably not a good idea!
