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
Julia, thanks for posting your article. It was informative and reinforced a few things for me. No exercise program is going to help if you follow it with Arnold-sized portions of whatever you want. Ask me how I know. On the other hand, when I trained karate 5-6 days/week 2 hours/day, I could eat pretty much anything. The one caveat is that I was younger and hadn't hit mental pause, so my metabolism was still as revved as a sports car. I couldn't gain weight if I tried. Alas, that is no longer true.:cry:
Anne00, the only thing better than a nap in a car is a nap on Sunday lying in a hammock, IMHO.
