Is swimming an effective way to lose weight?
Swimming is a whole-body exercise, which can not only lose weight, but also improve your cardiopulmonary function and exercise almost all your muscles, especially adhere to regular intensive training. A few months of hard work can make you "reborn". In the water, people's bones are fully relaxed, and they can have the opportunity to "stretch", which is very beneficial to maintaining a tall and straight figure. For growing teenagers, regular swimming exercise can make you grow into a "tall man".

(1) Swimming consumes a lot of energy. This is because the resistance of water when swimming is much greater than that of air when moving on land, so it is very difficult to walk in the water, and then 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 beneficial to heat dissipation and consumption. So swimming consumes much more energy than running and other land projects, so the effect of losing weight is more obvious.

⑵ It can avoid sports injuries of lower limbs and waist. When carrying out weight-loss exercise on land, because obese people are heavier, their bodies (especially lower limbs and waist) have to bear great gravity load, which reduces their exercise ability, is easy to fatigue, greatly reduces their interest in weight-loss exercise, and can damage joints and bones of lower limbs. When swimming in water, a considerable part of obese people's weight is borne by the buoyancy of water, which makes their lower limbs and waist much easier and greatly reduces the risk of joint and bone injury.

⑶ You can enjoy natural massage service: When swimming, the buoyancy, resistance and pressure of water are an excellent massage for the human body, and can also beautify the skin.

The resistance of people moving in water is 12 times greater than that on land. When their hands and feet move in the water, you will definitely feel strong resistance, so the muscles of back, chest, abdomen, buttocks and legs can be well exercised in swimming. The well-defined muscles of swimmers are the best evidence. Swimming is also an intense sport. The heat transfer speed of water is faster than that of air, which means that people will lose heat quickly in water, and swimming will consume a lot of heat. Excess body fat will also "dissolve in water" quietly.

In order to get a good exercise effect, you need to exercise in a planned way: beginners can swim for 3 minutes in a row, then rest for 1-2 minutes, and swim twice for 3 minutes each time. If you don't finish it with great effort, you can enter the second stage: swim continuously at an average speed of 10 minute, rest for 3 minutes, and do three groups at a time. If you still feel relaxed, you can start swimming for 20 minutes at a time until it increases to 30 minutes at a time. If you feel that the intensity is increasing too fast, you can follow your own acceptable rhythm. In addition, swimming consumes a lot of energy, so it is best to do it every other day to give your body a recovery time.

When swimming, people's metabolism is very fast, and they can consume 1 100 kilojoules of heat in 30 minutes, and this metabolic rate can be maintained for a period of time after you leave the water, so swimming is an ideal way to lose weight. For thin people, swimming can actually make them gain weight, because swimming exercises muscles and increases their volume and weight. It can be said that swimming can make fat people swim thin and thin people swim fat, which can make everyone have a smooth line.

In view of the above reasons, obese people can really take swimming as the main exercise to lose weight. But you must be prepared before swimming and pay attention to safety to prevent accidents.

The secret of swimming to lose weight

Editor/Xiaoyu

The hot summer is coming again, and there are more swimmers. I believe there are many people here who want to lose weight by swimming, so I want to introduce swimming tips to my friends through the following words.

In the swimming pool, I meet some friends who want to lose weight by swimming every day. They swam thousands or even tens of thousands of meters at a time, exhausted, but their weight did not drop. Some people assert that swimming cannot lose weight.

In fact, swimming can effectively lose weight. According to practice, I summarized the tips of swimming to lose weight as follows: short swimming to find a sense of floating, diligent swimming to find a sense of gravity.

The specific operation is as follows: look for floating comfort immediately after entering the water. Middle-aged and elderly people or people with weak constitution should try their best to keep floating with minimal movements, and can water ski with both hands. Take a good breath, close your eyes as if you are going to fall asleep, wake up suddenly or open your eyes yourself, and get out of the water immediately when you feel more comfortable and relaxed than lying in bed. When you come out of the water, you should move slowly, feel the weight of your body in the water, and compare the feeling of floating in the water with the feeling of gravity supporting your body on land. Some people are strong, and it is difficult to understand this feeling. Then swim for a distance, the frequency of action should be low, so as not to speed up the heartbeat, and then go out to find the feeling. Gravity and fatigue disappear before returning to the water. Don't dive, because it is easy to eliminate the feelings that have already occurred.

If you lose weight in this way for a few days, the original belly bulge will disappear, and your abdomen will feel relaxed, but you will lose very little weight. If you persist for three to five months, eat moderately and walk for one or two kilometers every day, you can naturally lose weight slowly. Friends who want to lose weight but don't want to go on a diet may wish to try.
