Hi all I am new here. I am wondering what is a good routine to swim and lose weight? I am close to 250lbs right now and don't look good fat LOL. was doing some research and found an article written by USMS' own Bill Volckening (if he posts here, hi Bill!) that talks about how he lost weight by swimming and changing his diet, but he don't talk about the swimming much, just the eating. LOL and i've had enough eating.
His story is very inspriational though and I want tofollow suit! I've started a diet but I need help with swiming! ANy suggestions?? ThxU!
Anything that burns calories will help, and swimming certainly burns calories, but you have to do more than float.
Seriously, it really is more about what you put in your mouth. Most people are eating 2-3 portions and counting it as one, and snacking, and eating way too much high calories foods. That would be me. Once I controled portions and the quality of food, I went from 180 to 145! And have maintained that for 2 years.
