How long should you swim a day to lose weight?

When summer comes, the hot temperature makes most people choose to go to the nearby swimming pools to swim to cool off. Some people swim to exercise and lose weight. Swimming consumes a lot of calories and has a good effect on weight loss. So how long does it take a day to lose weight, and how can swimming improve the efficiency of weight loss? Now the editor has found some information to lead everyone to understand.

When swimming, the human metabolism rate is very fast, and 1100 kilojoules of calories can be consumed in 30 minutes, and this metabolic rate can be maintained for a period of time after you leave the water.

Some people do not achieve good results in losing weight after swimming, probably because they do not exercise enough. When swimming starts, it is an anaerobic exercise. Energy consumption mainly relies on anaerobic fermentation of sugar. The exercise in this stage is very intense, people are short of breathing, and have insufficient oxygen supply, so fat is not used at all. In the following hour, under moderate intensity exercise conditions, energy is supplied by aerobic metabolism of sugar. If you want to lose weight, each swimming session should be more than 40 minutes before you start burning fat.

Experts believe that swimming 3-4 times a week for 1 hour each time is most conducive to weight loss.

After entering the water, you should immediately find the comfort of floating your body. The middle-aged and elderly people or those with weak constitutions should use the smallest movements to maintain floating movements as much as possible, and you can use both hands to water ski. Regulate your breathing and close your eyes as if you are about to fall asleep. You can be awakened suddenly or open your eyes on your own. When you feel more comfortable and relaxed than lying in bed, get out of the water immediately. When exiting the water, move slowly and feel the weight of your body in the water, comparing the feeling of floating in the water with the feeling of gravity supporting your body on land. Some people are physically strong and find it difficult to experience this feeling. In this case, they can swim a certain distance with a low movement frequency so as not to speed up their heartbeat, and then get out of the water to get the feeling. Wait until the feeling of gravity and fatigue disappears before returning to the water. Do not jump into the water, as this will easily eliminate the feelings that have already been generated.

I believe that after the editor’s introduction, everyone has some understanding of how long it takes to swim a day to lose weight. In fact, the effect of exercise is not immediate. It requires long-term persistence. If you persist, you will have a perfect figure and a healthy body. Also, be careful not to over-exercise when swimming, as leg cramps are not good.
