Swimming intensity is not enough to lose weight.
I often see uncles or aunts with big bellies in the swimming pool reporting it every day. They are the best evidence that swimming does not necessarily lose weight. After careful observation, it is not difficult to find that most of their swimming postures are vigorous and beautiful, and they fully enjoy the relaxed and pleasant feeling brought by buoyancy. At this time, their heart rate is actually not too high, which is not much different from our daily walking. Moreover, many people feel tired after swimming for two laps and give up continuing exercise, resulting in insufficient overall strength to lose weight.
Swimming can stimulate appetite.
When the water temperature in the swimming pool is too low and the exercise intensity is not enough, the body will involuntarily start protective measures to reduce the fat burning efficiency. In other words, the longer you are in the water, the more signals your body sends to reduce consumption and try to accumulate fat. Then when you come out of the swimming pool tired, you will be very hungry. If you can't plan your diet scientifically in this state, it is likely that the little calories you have worked so hard to save will double back.
So what is useful for losing weight?
First, the strength must be enough. It is suggested that dieters should be equipped with a heart rate meter to check their heart rate at any time. If there is no fatigue and muscle ache after swimming, then the strength must not be in place. Second, the intake is less than the output. Calculate the calories needed for basal metabolism and the calories consumed by exercise, and then decide how much to eat, in order to effectively control the number of meals. Third, we don't just rely on swimming. Swimming is a good exercise to relax muscles and effectively protect joints, but increasing various exercises can mobilize all aspects of the body's skills and reduce fat with half the effort.
