I love swimming!! My parents used to call me a fish they could never get me in the tub but then they can never get me out once I got in. My dream is to eventually have a pool of my own… I'm always embarrassed going swimming in public pools because I'm not a very strong swimmer and I get out of breath quickly I got water up my nose or accidentally inhale it…. So I feel like I can't just go and go like other people long enough to matter. I'm not even sure that the way I swim most confidently is an official swim technique lol lol
👍👍👍😎🏊♂️
Water is absolutely healing I love it!
I swim from Monday to Saturday but I'm not seeing any significant changes. Is it because I eat late or what? I don't close early from work so I don't eat on time 😅
Swimming = Faster weight loss than running and you can’t get sweaty. Well I know you still can get sweaty but you don’t feel it so you don’t feel discomfort.
👏👏
I build the muscle, tho you cant see it very well
I’m gonna try this at the gym !!!
I feel soo hungry after swimming so I got into a bad habit of buying a pack of cookies on my way home 🤣 I need to plan ahead and eat health food.
" 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.
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
