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,
Jerrycat
Thanks, SLOmmafan. It looks like it requires a huge commitment, but it's something I've thought about trying, though being in my early 60s it may not be the smartest route. I'm going to ask a personal trainer at my rec center if she can can put me on a modified CrossFit style routine to use on off days. I appreciate your input, which makes me think. I really want to add a form of exercise that doesn't interfere with swimming but does help me on my journey to losing weight and maintaining better health.
