Swimming ftw?

[Earl-Hickey]

I got told this is the best type of cardio you can do.

correct or not?

[spyvsspy]

Damn straight it is. I used to surf on the circuit and swimming was one of the best work outs my trainer

For getting in boxing shape, nothing beats roadwork imo.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

Certainly burns lots calories

Roadwork is good too but I think swimming takes less of a toll on your body so I'd give it the edge. Plus it works your whole body while running really only works your lower half.

I tried to go swimming once and since I hadn't swam in years, I felt really uncomfortable hopping in a lane surrounded by a bunch of water polo players and other people that knew what they were doing. It was also much more difficult than I thought it would be. Most I could do was a lap at a time, but it was probably because my breathing technique was all sorts of ****ed up.

Btw the worse a swimmer you are the more calories you burn then if you were really good
