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!

I'm really not trying to stir things up here, but I have increasingly heard this fat and fit claim and am confused about it. We know that obesity is a risk factor for many of the major healt issues that shorten life (diabetes, hpb, heart issues, etc). I guess, conversely, you don't have to be skinny to have those health issues but, from what I've heard, it is much more likely that an obese person will have them over a thin person.
I'd be interested in information on this fit and obese claim that is curculating so that I can modify my opinion. Obviously, NFL offensive lineman are very fit and very fat but I don't think we should use those spectacular examples as indicative of the overall claim.
