Hi, first time poster here.
I was wondering if someone can comment on if swimming 30 minutes a day everyday is better, or 1 hour every other day? Sometimes it's tough to find the time to go the pool so I feel I should swim as long as I can to make the trip worth while when I do have a bit of free time. But for better conditioning and stamina, which way is better? half hour everyday of 1 hr every other day? Thanks.
I should point out that I'm a decent swimmer, although I become exhausted if I swim hard longer than 1 hour.
This is a tough one.I think in general the every other day would be better,but both are in a way marginal.Everyone is different,but as a general rule of thumb it takes at least 4 times a week of some exercise to show steady improvement.Clearly, every other day is less than 4 times a week.In general 60 min is more than twice as good as 30 min because of the warm up and cool down,but it is certainly much better than nothing.Depending on your conditioning and focus 30 min may be better for you if your stroke is getting ragged in the longer workouts.I would really suggest you try to get some sort of workout at least 4 days a week.
