Is it better to swim or go to the gym to practice yoga?
Two different sports have different fitness effects, so there is no need to judge whether they are good or bad. We mainly choose to practice swimming or yoga according to our fitness purpose.

For a good exercise to lose weight and swim, using the resistance of water can consume more body calories. Tests by sports physiologists show that swimming in water 100 meters consumes 100 calories, which is equivalent to running 400 meters on land, riding a bike 1000 meters, or skating 1500 meters.

Yoga exercises are mainly ligament stretching, completed in a clean environment, listening to soothing music, supplemented by deep rhythm breathing. Therefore, it can relieve the pressure in the heart very well, and stretching can make the body more flexible and light. However, the intensity and amount of activities are small, and the effect of losing weight is not as good as swimming.

Therefore, we should choose the project that suits us according to our own goals.
