Enjoying swimming !

I really struggle to find an exercise that I feel like doing after a 8-9-10 hour day sometimes. The gym just bugs my mind all day that I just hate it but I've found swimming I actually don't mind. I can do 30 lengths in 30 mins or do and found out that burns around 360-400 Cals ! :)))) over in half an hour too and doesn't feel too much of a chore. Just have to make sure you don't satisfy the hunger from all the Cals burned with bad things but a good healthy snack :)

I love swimming but due to having had ear surgery I have not been able to swim for a while. I think swimming would be an enjoyable exercise for me to lose weight for my wedding

Good job!!

Good for you.

Totally agree

Great all round for burning cals toning up plus mental well being ☺

Well done for putting in the effort after a full day's work! It must feel good to let go of the day's stresses and tensions whilst swimming, and is an excellent way to burn off some calories too. I wish I had a pool nearer to me. I shall have to stick to dog walking....

I too would rather swim than go to the gym. But I go early, before work. I find I just can't be bothered at the end of the day! :)

Enjoy your laps! :)
