Swimming For Weight Loss | Swim Tips For Losing Weight

Wow

I cant do one hour but i do about 20 mins thats after a good 30 mins gym session though

I’m a runner and sweat is actually kind of a hindrance for me: I’ve been running 5K’s almost every day since last January, and my average pace during summer was noticeably 1.5 min slower per KM, jumped back up to 6 min / KM.

With swimming I don’t have to worry about the heat and sweat anymore. It’s awesome.

I have never lost weight swimming even on the swim team. I get too hungry. I'll have to find that video.

swimming for an hour with any pressure or interruption or noise from kids and other annoying people is heaven!!

I'm really having a hard time doing the typical swimming like pros(arm over arm) Am I working out when I lap swim moving my arms under and kicks vs. Lifting arms or the water

I don't follow a strict nutrition plan, but I lowered my consumption of unhealthy foods. This combined with swimming and regular walks made me loose a lot of kilograms.

Scientists and doctors are promoting Z2 training as the key to fat loss.

Does anyone know how the swimming works for Intermediate fasting (dawn to dusk) with no water taken in and meals during the day regardless? Has anyone tried it?

Been swimming around 6 hours a week for 2 months and the weight is coming off. Been trying to get back to normal weight for EIGHTEEN YEARS and finally see light at the end of the tunnel. Just doing breast and backstroke now, but about to incorporate some front crawl. Once I feel comfortable with front crawl, I want to learn the flip turn and the back stroke flip turn. Also doing a bit of walking.

I need to loose a few pounds I’m going to start to swim because it’s too hot to go walking outside , I haven’t worked out in a while so I’ll get back in a month to see what happened I’m 5’7 160 pounds oh gosh grrrr my problem is I like to eat sweets oh I’m also 52 years old, and I never been these heavy, but woman my age we tend to weight gain, I always been 130 pounds, I started putting on weight last year, my metabolism is slowing down so I need to get on w the program asap, 😊

How do you deal with the hunger after the swim? I swim 6 days a week and I'm always hungry. I don't know how to fix it. I have started hydrating with electrolytes - but that hunger rush is insatiable.

I used to swim competitively as a child and quit with 15. Did some martial arts afterwards but lockdowns and covid took that fire from me.

I gained 50% of my previous bodyweight due to not moving for 3 years. Finally decided to get into shape.

Decided it'll be swimming. I dunno about maximizing my time in the water. I just try to increase my distance every week consistently.

I just cracked 750m on my first day. Week 2 I'm at 1250m. Week 4 I did 1500m.

I remember being able to swim endlessly as a teen. I want that back. Maybe once 3km is easy I'll time myself.

Thanks for the tips.

Since I see everyone commenting about their swimming past, I want to do it too. :)

I did synchronized and competitive swimming from age 7 to 14 years old. Then I stopped because of body issues as a teen. I still swim on occasion like when boating with friends or at the recreation park nearby (I live in a very water-heavy part of my country), but that is it. Yesterday I visited friends who are at a vacation park and we went swimming in the outside pool. And it just felt right. I was even still able to do some exercises from synchronized swimming (though badly), but my condition is currently non-existent and I am about 20 kilos heavier than I was the same amount of years ago...

A quick Google search shows a pool nearby to which I can bike. Meaning I can bike there, swim and bike back home. Even if I bike there and change my mind (if it is too crowded for example) I will still have that 30 min of biking as daily exercise. So that seems like a good something to start with. :D

Now I first have to fix my bike, which I haven't used in months either.

Swimming is so boring when done for weight loss tho. 1 hour a day staring at a line.

Is freestyle the best form to use then, going off the footage here? I usually prefer that, or breaststroke. Just curious if one has better results than the other.

Swimming is one of the best workouts! You work every muscle, it’s so tiring! 😅

I lost 100 lb swimming in 2022 now I’m going for another 100 lbs this year

Should you eat breakfast before you swim or after you swim?

Good video

I thought this would be more informative but I suppose there’s not much to it

Which is better to loss weight Running or Swimming?

I swim 30 min a day and try to cover as much distance as possible- this was to change up from the 1 hour or 1 mile swim
No matter what I do or when I swim I am starving after- so I simply eat back the calories I burned x 2

I'm overweight by about 4st, started swimming this year for an hour a week. I do 1500m in that time, breast stroke, front crawl and back-stroke none stop. I only burn 345 calories. I don't understand how people say they burn 600-800kcals!? I go relatively fast (so i thought) but yeah, dunno where I'm going wrong.

My doctor told me to start swimming for my scoliosis and to build muscle. I am starting next month (I have to go to some other doctors to get permission) and I am so excited for it. I am doing my research and your video helped a lot.

Imma part time triathlete who's going through knee issues so planning on supplementing swimming for my lack of running. Any programs yall would recommend?

The most effective swimming style for weight loss is the butterfly, but it's hard to do for beginners...

Didn't tell us a thing about swimming, this should be labeled as "General fitness tips" forget the swimming part...

I have done swimming for 6 months this year i have lost weight. Though I am thin. Earlier I was 65 kg now I am 59 kg.

Really swimming is girls exercise

Great inspirational video.. cannot wait to get to the pool 😀❤🎉

Does swimming lose weight?

At 50 have or had an extreme fear of water. Just had my 1st lesson.. went in shoulders, to neck, to chin..to blowing bubbles out my mouth.. gliding....making progress. I'm plus and desperately need to trim down. I have pain in all my joints, so swimming would be best for me. Definitely looking to becoming an advid swimmer 🏊‍♀️. Looking forward to doing lapse, burning this fat enjoying the peace of being in the water....

hehe she said "let's dive in" 😂you guys get it?

Day 1 learning swimming.

Can someone let me know how long does it take to get swimmers body .

I know i am asking too much 😛

I'm definitley not in a healthy weight range, actually looking at bariatric surgery here in the next month or 2 depending on what my doctor says. And being that I'm almost always in pain in way way or another, I've been looking at swimming. Both for weight purposes, as well as trying to build some cardio back in since my new band just booked our first show and I am not sure if i can get through a 30 minute set without dying right now XD

Going to the gym today after work. Nevermind that i've been paying for the membership for 2 months, but still. first step

I gave you a thumb because you deserve it.

Eat light or with soup. Breakfast coffee,Lunch minced meat noddle soup and dinner seafood noodle misua. I usually swim 1 hour after dinner. Avoid carbohydrates to not feel sleepy after eating. 500 breaststroke,1.5km freestyle intermittent hypoxic breathing(6stroke/breath and 2 normal breathing)

The more you swim the more you love it.

Ive been swimming 2 days a week and lost 3-5kg now and my muscles grow back, firstly i thinking for calming my stress off and mental issues sooo swimming is bout enjoy now hihii

Been toying with the idea of swimming for weight loss. Not a very good swimmer at the moment, but open to learning proper technique. I usually run and do HIIT routines, but really like the idea of swimming and chilling in the sauna or hot tub after before my day begins.

It's great exercise but forget about swimming for weight loss.

I just wanna lose stomach fat

I started swimming without floats at 2 years old. I love swimming but I just recently have been blessed with access to a pool again. I’m enjoying the exercise and the nostalgia

Is this low intensity ?

Its not just weight loss for your body, its weight loss for your mind. The solitude of the pool gives you 1hr a day of zero external stress if you can manage to work out hard enough to where you cant think of anything but the swim. I cannot stress how amazing and important this is for your brain and overall health.
