Lift weights, swim, and (something else) to slim down
Former Member
I have been lifting twice a week and swimming three times a week and have maintained my weight. When I started to include jogging a mile (three times a week), I dropped three pounds in one week. I started unable to jog twice without stopping (around a 1/11th mile track) but in two weeks I finished a whole mile in under 11 minutes (great for me). Anyway, losing weight is not easy so experiment to find what works best for you. You certainly must add resistance exercises to your swimming and that's a given. What you add to that combination is up to you. It's all about your willingness to make positive lifestyle changes and not making excuses or avoiding trying something new. Good luck!!!
