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!
Yes, everyone has a different body structures and there's no single catch-all target weight that is good for everyone, but I think more often than not overweight people have a tendency to make up excuses (I'm just "big boned," etc) when the bottom line is they are simply overweight and have increased health risks because of this.
Has anyone else noticed when you look at old photos, TV shows, etc.--and I'm talking about from the 70s and 80s--not really that long ago, how thin most people look? We're getting so acclimated to looking at obese people that our entire perception is changing. And as aquageek already mentioned, just because our perception has changed it doesn't mean the health risks have also shifted.
