How long does it take before you start seeing improvement?
I know it's only be a month, but I'm not seeing much improvement in my 50 yd free time.
I do however feel like my body is with standing longer yardage, without stopping.
I swim an avg. of 3 days 30 mins avg. 300-400yds
1- day 60 mins avg. 800 yds. I use the workout room, 1 mile 20 min.-walk, different cable weights for 20 mins, 1 mile bike 1-2 times a week. No weight loss yet.
Trying to remember that I must really be improving it's just not showing yet.
Any advise??:confused:
How tall are you because maybe the reason the weight is not coming off is because it is a good weight for you. With swimming, you will add some muscle mass, so you will appear smaller than your weight actually says.
your swim times are already good for your age and the number of weeks that you have been swimming. I suggest you work on building up your endurance. 300-400 yards is not a lot of yardage, so try to build up to doing 1000-1500 in that same 30 minutes. I think you will find that once your level of endurance reaches that amount that lowering your sprint times will become a little easier.
also, be careful about undercutting your calories too much in the quest to get the weight to budge. There is a fine line if you cross that you will hurt your training. You are not there because you are really not training that much, but as you train more, you will need to fuel more, and you will need to find how much you need to sustain the work-out, but lose the weight. Not easy and different for everyone, and different for a 20 year old compared to a 45 year old.
