Swimming is a systemic aerobic exercise, but swimming does not use the thighs too much. If you want to exercise your thighs in the swimming pool. You can walk in shallow water or in deep water with a life jacket. The natural resistance of water will give your thighs a strong exercise. This kind of exercise effect is not available on the road.

In order to lose weight on thighs, it takes 30 minutes for each exercise. At least 3-5 times a week. Adhere to moderate and low intensity exercise. That is, reaching 60% of the maximum exercise intensity can consume more fat. If you find it difficult to maintain this level of exercise, you can start with a small amount of exercise. And then gradually strengthen. You can also flexibly master the intensity and time of exercise. If the exercise intensity is low and easy to carry out, the exercise time can be increased. As far as fat consumption is concerned, walking 1 hour has the same effect as running for 20 minutes.

Different strokes exercise different parts: Although swimming is a whole-body exercise, different strokes exercise different parts of the body.

(1) breaststroke (thin thigh)-leg strength. The thigh style of freestyle and backstroke is whipping up and down, and only breaststroke is pedaling. The former can make legs longer, while the latter uses quadriceps more, so it is very effective for strengthening leg strength.

(2) Butterfly stroke (thin waist and abdomen)-chest strength. In butterfly stroke, the arm strokes inward, which is similar to chest expansion. Exert more force on pectoralis major, extensor dorsi and rectus abdominis, and the exercise effect is also the best.

(3) freestyle (thin arm)-arm strength. In freestyle, the biceps brachii and triceps brachii of the upper arm exert more force, which can effectively exercise the arm muscles and improve the shoulder muscle strength.

(4) Backstroke (thin buttocks)-back strength. When backstroke, the extensor dorsi will exert more force and stretch the back muscles. In addition, when backstroke, you need to lift your hips and slide, which is also an exercise for your hips.
