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!
One's own perception of their ideal weight is quite different than the medical definition of obesity/overweight. You may think all is well but that's a personal impression. Carrying too much weight sets you up for many maladies, slower swimming being one.
Just because everyone is getting bigger and the perception of ideal weight has shifted does not mean that the problems associated with being heavy have also shifted.
