Hi mylotters. As you know I go to gym daily for my workout. I have heard many people say that swimming is a good workout wherein one can lose much weight. We have a club house in our society wherein there are 2 swimming pools. One is for adults and another for kids.
Many people does swimming over here. I think it's relaxing as well and one might feel refreshed after a good swim. My mom use to be a very good swimmer. However, I don't know how to swim.
What about you guys? Do you have swimming as a hobby? How often you go for a swim. Do share.

I try to do 2k endurance laps at least once a week to keep my asthma at bay (no pun intended). Swimming is indeed a good workout albeit an earobic one, i.e., it improves circulation and respiration. Swimming helped me very little on weight loss, perhaps because of an appetite increase after laps. Core exercises (best for losing waist fat) and some weight lifting helped me best to lose weight.

I can't swim, dear friend. I think any kind of physical exercise can help lose weight.
