Swimming......need some answers please....?!


Question: So I'm in Iraq (deployed and in the Marines) right now (have 4 months left) and i haven't really asked specific questions, but this is one. If I swim 3-4 days a week for about 1-2 hours each time. Will that help tone my stomach and get it flat in the 4 months that i have left? I do the 1-2 hours cause I have that much time on my hands, that and I like getting a workout in the pool rather than the gym. I am also doing other ab excercises to help out. A lot less impact on the joints for me. Thanks y'all for any answers that are helpful :o)

It will def help. but you wont get a full on 6 pack. you'll just be flat and a bit muscley.

Yea, U can. it will help.

swimming is a great excercise. that should help you meet your goals. good luck!

Yes, I think that will tone your stomach and get it flat.

The best results for bringing out abs that I know is using an exercise ball.

Hard to say, but I used to swim 6 days a week for 1-2 hours. I never had a 'six pack' but my stomach was flat. Good luck!

yes its very good
