Swimming is one workout I would do probably almost daily except for one problem…I don’t know how to swim! I’d like to burn a buttload of calories with swimming but until I get the opportunity to learn, those of you who can swim can take advantage of this great calorie burning workout.
There are many benefits to swimming, particularly for the calorie burn: 750 or more calories per hour. Besides that, it also builds your endurance, strength, and cardiovascular fitness. It can also be relaxing (from what I’ve read – I wouldn’t know myself.)
It is also low impact compared to other forms of exercise. When immersed to the waist, your body bears just 50% of its weight; immersed to the chest, it’s 25%-35%; and to the neck, 10%.
