I have been swimming in the swimming pool with my father since I was a child. After high school was too busy, I gradually stopped going. Later, I learned that swimming to lose weight is also very powerful. Swimming consumes a lot of energy to lose weight, because the resistance of water in swimming is much greater than that of air in land sports. Walking in the water is laborious, and swimming will definitely consume more calories. At the same time, the thermal conductivity of water is 24 times higher than that of air, and the water temperature is generally lower than that of air, which is also conducive to heat dissipation and heat consumption. So swimming consumes much more energy than running and other land projects, so the effect of losing weight is more obvious.

With the help of butterfly stroke, the main exercises are pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi and rectus abdominis, while backstroke is latissimus dorsi and quadriceps femoris. The main movements of breaststroke are gluteus maximus, quadriceps femoris, latissimus dorsi and triceps brachii. My swimming weight-loss training is freestyle, with more strength in triceps brachii, quadriceps brachii, trapezius and gluteus maximus.

However, because the muscles in the swimming area are slightly biased, no matter which swimming stroke, it is to exercise the whole body. The muscles of swimming exercise are streamlined, not large muscles.

In order to avoid the increase of subcutaneous fat when swimming, people who are fatter should be careful not to get into the habit of going ashore without swimming. People with good health can consider fast swimming in sections, that is, the distance is short and the speed is fast, and they should go ashore to rest in time after each swim. In addition, after swimming, people often feel that they eat well, sleep well, and their calories are supplemented, even more than their intake. Obese people tend to get hungry more easily and consume more energy after swimming. If you don't pay attention to dieting, especially if you stop exercising after a period of time, it is easiest to make your weight exceed the original level. Therefore, if you want to make swimming lose weight better, you should also pay attention to a reasonable diet.
