Hey Everyone!
I've noticed that it was so much easier to loose weight with running, as opposed to swimming. It seems even though i'm swimming hard, the 13 or so pounds that I need to loose haven't budged. When I was running, my diet didn't have to be really clean...in fact I ate pizza at least once a week, and found that it helped me during high mileage. During running, my weight was very low despite the pizza habit. While swimming makes me hungrier, and I'm probably burning more calories per workout, the weight loss isn't there.
Why is this?
Thanks,

Hi jerry, when you finish your swim work out or training . take approx. 5 minutes rest . then swim 50 or 100 laps at a reduced speed or moderate speed. the trick to useing calories is as much constant movement as you can do. when you are done ,drink water and eat fruit and vegys. by the way do this all freestyle and do not stop, untill you have reached 50 to 100 laps. when you have supper have protiens alot. but once you have finished supper , go back to water and vegys or fruit. Also maybe excerise in the gym, using the same eating routine. Of course after you can make eating and workout adjustments.
