Swimming for a flat stomach?
im perfectly healthy and all i just want a flat stomac ( instead of the one i have that isflat just in the morning) how much swimming should i do along with my workouts i do 3x a week?
Answers:
i beg to differ with the other person that answered. i swam competitively for 12 years and i've always had awesome abs. you use your core muscles ( your abs and back) to help support you and keep you afloat while your swimming. your whole body is involved. i think it's a great exercise and i was always in much better shape during the seasons than in the off season. however, i was very serious about it and on two teams at once during some seasons. i'm not sure how much it will get you in shape with just 3 times a week. you do burn a sweat it's just not as obvious because you are in the water. as long as you get your heart rate up and do it for a prolonged period of time to burn calories you will get a good workout. best wishes and have fun!
