If I only swim but don't do any other exercises, what will I be missing? Not much, I suppose? I can still have a good physique and it sure does more to my health than if running is my only exercise? Comments?
Totally agree.
Swimming makes me fat, no question. I've spoken to many other women who feel the same. I'm much bigger now as a swimmer than a runner. If all I did was swim and taper for meets, I'd truly be a tank (although perhaps I'd be a better swimmer). Cross training is the ticket to good health, endorphins and staying fresh. I prefer running, biking, weights, drylands, etc. Has to be weight bearing, and I like being outside. I'm in a snit this week not cross training as I rest my legs for Geek 9:27.
Oh, I'm trying yoga this season too. Against my will ... I am required to take my daughter.
:agree::agree: the swimming alone maybe did it for me in my 20's but not now.
i cross train with pilates and sometimes yoga. as well as weight (before i got hurt). i look huge next to the triathletes and i am not fat.
