Do you burn the same amount of calories if.......?!


Question:

Do you burn the same amount of calories if.......?

You swim all at once or in small steps.

I work day camp and we take our kids to the pool 3 times a week. I have been swimming laps while we are there, but I can only swim one lap at a time because I am also playing with the kids. Will I burn as many calories swimming this way as I would if I just swam the laps without stopping?
If I am not burning the same amount of calories, am I still getting good exercise that will help me stay fit?

Thanks for the help :-)


Answers:

hard to say ..... You need to get your heart rate up a little to burn calories but If your still playing with the kids your heart rate is still up some.
You may be burning more this way b/c if you do one lap at a time you are not tiring out and each lap your probably giving it all you got.
Either way-just keep it up, it helps and is good for you
