Is swimming a good exercise???!
Question: Is swimming a good exercise!?!?!?
Or is it in no comparison to running on the tredmill for an hour!. Because, I can't run anymore!. For one thing, I hate to run, and well it's just so boring!
I'm not talking actual swimming!.!.!.just moving around, playing games, doing flips underwater, etc!. I do feel tired and sore the next day, so it must be doing something!?
What are some good foods to eat!? I hate salads and most veggies!. Chicken and Fish is what my doctor told me to eat!.
Well, Thanks!

Swimming is a great exercise - you use muscles you don't work out with running alone!. Playing and stuff is fine - the trick is to try to keep your heart rate up over a period of time!. If you are tired and sore the next day then you are getting a good workout!
You still need to so some weight-bearing exercise to strengthen your bones and build more muscle - so maybe you could run or walk once or twice a week!?
I'm not a massive salad fan either!. People try to tell you they are delicioius!. Yeah, whatever! I'd just try to keep your calories down!. So maybe a piece of grilled chicken (you can use spices), a potato baked in the oven with a bit of salt and pepper (no fat), fresh corn (cooked, no buter), some beans or whatever vegie you can stomach!. Or if you prefer chicken and a fruit salad!.
I'd say you could lose 4lbs a week if you're starting at 250lbs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
