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!

What about yourself? 56 is unusually low for a heart rate of anyone. Horses have an average heart rate of 40. I take vitals a lot and I've never seen a HR that low.
My resting heart rate is typically in the mid to upper 40s. This is when I first wake up in the morning. During the day if I happen to be sitting around, (which isn't often since I'm a middle school teacher) it will be around 55-60. My specialty is distance swimming, and I don't consider my heart rate to be unusual. It was certainly not different than my team mates in college who also specialized in distance.
