Okay, I am doing pretty well at 500 yards - I am not winded or out of breath at the end of the workout.
My pool is closed for the next week and a half for cleaning (the whole YMCA shuts down).
When I go back, I was thinking about doing two 750 yard swims 6 days a week. How does this sound for fat burning and toning?
Good idea or not?
Thanks!
Best,
Chris
If you can do 1250 and fit it in an hour and not get two worn out, then aim for 1000-1250 a day. As you get into better shape, you should be able to add more yardage without adding time. It takes time, 5 years ago, it took me 30 minutes to swim 1000 yards, now I can do it in 15 minutes or so, so you will improve, just be persistant.
