People often tend to think that swimming would not help to burn our calories, but the fitness experts have some good news for all you swimming lovers. The experts have suggested that swimming is one of the best exercises that one can do for weight loss.
Nutritionist Payal Kothari said, “An hour’s swim can make an individual burn up to 400 calories or more if done vigorously. Resistance gear can make the workout even more intense.”
Payal Kothari further said, “Swimming with resistance is harder than being on the treadmill. You could increase and decrease the intensity without stressing the body. It helps burn more calories and works the core continuously burning more belly fat. And doing some crunches post the swim could further help in toning the abs.”
Carlyne Remedios said, “Just 30 minutes of swimming can help you burn 350 calories. It can also help you stay flexible, reduce inflammation and relieve depression and stress.”
Carlyne Remedios also added, “You increase muscle mass, which increases your metabolism and helps you burn fat even while not exercising. But, bear in mind, diet is of great importance if you have chosen swimming as your main workout. You can’t be eating too many calories if your aim is to lose weight with swimming.”
