" Less likely to get injured "
Meanwhile average person with shoulder pain while learning freestyle and backstroke.

I was swimming for arpund 3 weeks and lost around 4 kg but regained it 2 weeks later when I stopped swimming

I have been using swimming for weight loss since last month, and I am enjoying it. learning to swim at 39, and losing calories feels great; less injury to my joints. Your channel has been a great help! helping to learn freestyle.

Is this in bath uni?

Since I started drinking Slimolina Tea, my energy levels have increased, and I feel great.

I’m new to swimming training for fitness. I want to do it casually myself and not under a coach or anything but I have no clue what to do when I start. Do all I do is freestyle laps until I’m tired or something? Do I pace myself or do it fast? How long do I do laps for? Should I set a goal of laps and if so what’s a good goal? I am very confident freestyling but should I do other styles too ? Someone please give me the tips and tricks 🙏

Very motivational video. Thank you.

You bet

I used to be a competitive swimmer and i was so thin and in shape, since quitting i have gained weight so i think its time to start exercising

So swimming alone isn’t enough for weight loss? 😩

Bravo 👏

0 workouts.....just swim lol

Which hormone would that be ?????

Why am I watching this knowing there are no gyms with pools within 50 miles of me? I love to swim unfortunately there isn’t anywhere for me to do it. The only YMCA we had around closed during covid and never came back. And they didn’t have a pool anyway.

I started ín Jan 2024, with aim 20km per month. Min. 1km per session. Ín 1st week of June I swam 11,5km! I feel stronger, more into swimming, but without weight loss. Not happy with my belly. Almost half a year and dont see lean body. I dont overeat.

Ottar to resist food sometimes because food is so delicious and we’re humans and sometimes we eat a lot. We gain a lot as we shouldn’t gain a lot.

i like her face

Is there any programs how to swim? Or its just dive in and swim on ur own

Im male swimming for 2months daily ... Eating just normal home food lost 6kgs from 100to 94.. target is 80kgs in a year with out loose skin.. swimming 1hr 400meters almost

Everybody talks about loosing weight during swimming, nothing wrong with it of course. But I want to say one thing why I chose swimming only as a cardio exercise: primary reason is happiness. The joy that I feel while I’m in the water is incomparable to any exercise. If my schedule allow, I’d be in a pool half of the day everyday. Since I remember myself, pools are my heaven. So my primal reason for swimming is happiness that gives me. Along the way, I loose the weight, tone my body, strength my muscles.

Only problem is... I don't know how to swim properly. But I'll figure it out 🏊

I don't think I can afford to swim everyday

Stay hydrated. Thirst after a workout can be mistaken for hunger and lead to overeating.

I grew up with pools at my house so I always swam a lot ! My mom always made sure we had access to pools at our house so I just enjoy it so I could never get fat or lazy

All I could think of is that underwater view of the girl in the black swimsuit has a MASSIVE crossover in her freestyle

I turned 65 in January. Decided to take the plunge (no pun intended). Whenever I start something like this, I have to be accountable to someone, so I hired a coach 1x a week for a month. This got me going and now it's 6 days every week allowing myself (any) one day off of my choosing, each week. It is making a huge difference and I actually find I'm enjoying this much more than going to the gym which bores the crap out of me. After 25 years, the stomach is starting to actually recede and after each session, I feel remarkably good and better all of the time.

Bad knees gang where you at

which stroke is best for burning calories? Many are saying the butterfly or is front crawl better?

Im morbidly obese, and as a young man I remember feeling free in the water. Its not until I was told to put a shirt on, which destroyed my relationship with my local pool and water in general, that I stopped going. Now in my adulthood, I want to get back into the water and find the joy i once felt

NOT TO MENTION! The time swimming works perfectly with how the bodies burns its energy deposits carbs>protein>fat>muscle, this is the natural order, but with low intensity training our bodies choose to use fat as the energy supply! therefore a slow breaststroke for an hour is both better for burning calories and directly targeting overall fat on the body. Another great reason to swim if you can.

Wow

I cant do one hour but i do about 20 mins thats after a good 30 mins gym session though

I’m a runner and sweat is actually kind of a hindrance for me: I’ve been running 5K’s almost every day since last January, and my average pace during summer was noticeably 1.5 min slower per KM, jumped back up to 6 min / KM.

With swimming I don’t have to worry about the heat and sweat anymore. It’s awesome.

I have never lost weight swimming even on the swim team. I get too hungry. I'll have to find that video.

swimming for an hour with any pressure or interruption or noise from kids and other annoying people is heaven!!

I'm really having a hard time doing the typical swimming like pros(arm over arm) Am I working out when I lap swim moving my arms under and kicks vs. Lifting arms or the water

I don't follow a strict nutrition plan, but I lowered my consumption of unhealthy foods. This combined with swimming and regular walks made me loose a lot of kilograms.

Scientists and doctors are promoting Z2 training as the key to fat loss.

Does anyone know how the swimming works for Intermediate fasting (dawn to dusk) with no water taken in and meals during the day regardless? Has anyone tried it?

Been swimming around 6 hours a week for 2 months and the weight is coming off. Been trying to get back to normal weight for EIGHTEEN YEARS and finally see light at the end of the tunnel. Just doing breast and backstroke now, but about to incorporate some front crawl. Once I feel comfortable with front crawl, I want to learn the flip turn and the back stroke flip turn. Also doing a bit of walking.

I need to loose a few pounds I’m going to start to swim because it’s too hot to go walking outside , I haven’t worked out in a while so I’ll get back in a month to see what happened I’m 5’7 160 pounds oh gosh grrrr my problem is I like to eat sweets oh I’m also 52 years old, and I never been these heavy, but woman my age we tend to weight gain, I always been 130 pounds, I started putting on weight last year, my metabolism is slowing down so I need to get on w the program asap, 😊

How do you deal with the hunger after the swim? I swim 6 days a week and I'm always hungry. I don't know how to fix it. I have started hydrating with electrolytes - but that hunger rush is insatiable.

I used to swim competitively as a child and quit with 15. Did some martial arts afterwards but lockdowns and covid took that fire from me.

I gained 50% of my previous bodyweight due to not moving for 3 years. Finally decided to get into shape.

Decided it'll be swimming. I dunno about maximizing my time in the water. I just try to increase my distance every week consistently.

I just cracked 750m on my first day. Week 2 I'm at 1250m. Week 4 I did 1500m.

I remember being able to swim endlessly as a teen. I want that back. Maybe once 3km is easy I'll time myself.

Thanks for the tips.

Since I see everyone commenting about their swimming past, I want to do it too. :)

I did synchronized and competitive swimming from age 7 to 14 years old. Then I stopped because of body issues as a teen. I still swim on occasion like when boating with friends or at the recreation park nearby (I live in a very water-heavy part of my country), but that is it. Yesterday I visited friends who are at a vacation park and we went swimming in the outside pool. And it just felt right. I was even still able to do some exercises from synchronized swimming (though badly), but my condition is currently non-existent and I am about 20 kilos heavier than I was the same amount of years ago...

A quick Google search shows a pool nearby to which I can bike. Meaning I can bike there, swim and bike back home. Even if I bike there and change my mind (if it is too crowded for example) I will still have that 30 min of biking as daily exercise. So that seems like a good something to start with. :D

Now I first have to fix my bike, which I haven't used in months either.

Swimming is so boring when done for weight loss tho. 1 hour a day staring at a line.

Is freestyle the best form to use then, going off the footage here? I usually prefer that, or breaststroke. Just curious if one has better results than the other.

Swimming is one of the best workouts! You work every muscle, it’s so tiring! 😅

I lost 100 lb swimming in 2022 now I’m going for another 100 lbs this year

Should you eat breakfast before you swim or after you swim?
