What's your opinion on swimming? I fancy a change of pace from going to the gym all the time and with this weather I thought I'd go swimming three times a week.
Is it really that good for you? Any training routines I should know about?
I'm thinking one hour of swimming in lanes, fifteen minute break, another hour of swimming.
Anyone here swim to get fit?
bumping for interest
Been thinking of hitting the pool as well. Dunno about muscle, but it's a great cardio workout
i f you are new to swimming an hour of laps will destroy you
Started swimming like 2 weeks ago, I swim for an hour every day
Swimming is a good workout
Make sure you can do the technique right and don't swim slowly in the middle lane like a fat old lady you cunts!!
how many laps do you do?
Don't count but it's probably 60-80 lengths of a 25m pool
I'm gonna start counting now that I'm getting decent.
I haven't swum since I was a kid, is it like riding a bicycle, as in, will I remember how to do the proper forms and techniques? Or should I book a little refreshment course?
Also, I'm basically only looking for cardio here, so will swimming three times a week for an hour or so help in any way? Or am I better off combining it with regular trips to the gym/jogging?
>2 weeks in
>swimming 750m-1km in an hour
standard routine should look like what this guy is doing, it's great for cardio but be sure to do it after your lifts it helps with doms
