Swimming is a best exercise

Hi Akarshan, Swimming is definitely one of the best exercise and sport for me. It's good for toning all your muscles and will keep you fit and slim. Welcome to Mylot and enjoy!

i think there is no exercise just like swimming ...... it is very much close to yoga....... it is ain't tiring as weight lifting etc are.

i agree too but how i wish i can swim. . . im afraid of learning to swim

hi, swimming is surely excellent exercise. But I don't think it the best because not everyone has the access to it as often as one likes. For example, if I want to have a swim, I normally have to go to a swimming pool, which is at least eight kilos away ! Besides, it really costs. The ticket price is around 20 RMB, that's 3 USD, and 20 RMB accounts for 1% of an average individual's whole month salary. If the fare is ok, then here comes another problem. I can only to go a swimming pool after work, empty-stomached. So I have to eat either before swimming or after; that's another unnecessary expense. And the worst of all, when I finish swimming, remember how far it is from my home? and how late when I am finished? yes, it's both far and late. So I usually have to take a taxi. That's another 20 RMB. In all, a single one-person swimming would cost me 50 RMB or so, that's over 7.00 US dollars. so, from the above, you can see that even if money is not a problem, time and energy are .

Yeah. I do think swimming is a best exercise to prtice our body in order to make a strong body. I have begin a topic about swim ,too. I just want to whether you like swim in winter. Have tried it. I think it may be a lot of fun to try it.But the serious is the cold water . So just be careful. Have a nice day.

yap its true but sometimes if you push your self to the limit in swimming it could give you colds, cough and even muscle pain but if you just doing it as exercise its highly recommended for cardiopulmonary exercise.

swimming is definitely a very good exercise .it provides complete body work out,acts as destressor and helps burn calories too.it maintains body flexibility and the buoyancy of water helps in facilitating many a therapeutic movements.its a very good one to maintain fitness if pursued regularly.

I heard swimming is a good exercise. Unfortunately, I don't know how to swim, and I have been scared to go back to a pool ever since some people pushed me in one and held me underwater to the point I drowned and fell to the bottom of the deep side. I had developed a fear for pools, and never learned how to overcome it.

Hello Akarshan, and welcome to MyLot. I agree that swimming is one of the best exercises out there. Even for people who for physical reasons cannot take a long walk, swimming might work well for them, since it bears the weight of and buoys the body as we exercise it. I've always loved to swim!

yes of course swimming is the best exercises ever , cause less injury. best for the health

i agree swimming is so good for you and fun. even when your pregnant and cant really exercise you can swim to stay in shape. also love the freedom that being in the water gives you its like your free from all problems and restraints in life.

swimming really is a very helpful sport. it keeps you fit, energizes you and even prevents the occurrence of illness. the best thing about it, though, is you get to enjoy it with a lot of people at the same time. all you need is yourself,a couple of friends, the sun (or even the moon) and the water! =)

Swimming is an excellent full body exercise! You work your cardiovascular system while at the same time you build strength! Efficient swimming requires you to have a tight core, so if you begin a swimming training program, you will notice a difference not only in your arms and legs, but definitely in your core without even doing a situp! Also, it is considerably less strenuous on your body, such as with running and your knees.

Ya I too agree swimming is good exercise.But we need to swim in good time and also in regular basis.But most people do not know to swim.So guys learn swimming and keep doing exercise daily

I think swimming is one of the best ways to lose weight. My friend told me that she did lose weight for doing swimming lessons. I want to lose weight too and I am considering swimming to be included in my lists of activities to keep me fit and lose weight. My two sons love to swim and this is a good motivation for me to take swimming seriously. My husband is a good swimmer too.

swimming is good exercise, obviously, is a lifetime sports that benefits the body and the whole person, but what makes swimming good is depends on what your are trying to accomplish, whether for health (hear an lungs) or chance to be with some of your friends swimming it is undoughtely good and one of the best exercise..

Yes, i agree swimming is the best exercise if done regularly. It makes your body sexy. It also stretches and tones your muscles, that is why muscles becomes firm and proportioned. Unfortunately, i dont know how to swim hehe.
