Can swimming help you lose weight?

It seems like I can hear people around me clamoring to lose weight every day. But it is often just talk, and few people really implement their weight loss plans seriously. In fact, I often say that I want to lose weight, but I am too lazy to move. So today I will introduce to you and me a weight loss method that is very suitable for summer.

Swimming method to lose weight: When a person swims in water, his arms paddling and his legs kicking or pushing water, all muscle groups in the body participate in the exercise, which can exercise the muscles of the whole body well. In addition, when swimming, because the density of water (in other words, resistance) and heat transfer performance are greater than those of air (the thermal conductivity coefficient of water is 26 times greater than that of air, which means that at the same temperature, the human body loses heat in water more than 20 times faster than in air, which can effectively consume heat), the body consumes more energy when moving in water than on land. The supply of energy is replenished by consuming sugar and fat in the body. Regular swimming can gradually remove excess body fat without becoming obese.

Method: After entering the water, immediately find the comfortable feeling of floating. Middle-aged or elderly people or those with weak constitutions should use minimal movements to maintain floating movements. They can use both hands to paddle, regulate their breathing, close their eyes as if they are about to fall asleep, and they can get out of the water immediately when they are suddenly awakened or open their eyes on their own.

When exiting the water, move slowly, feel the weight of your body in the water, and compare the feeling of floating in the water with the feeling of gravity on land. Some people who are physically strong find it difficult to experience this feeling. In that case, they can swim for a distance with a low movement frequency, so as not to speed up their heartbeat, because this will easily eliminate the feeling that has already occurred. After using this method to lose weight for a few days, the bloated belly felt relieved, but the weight loss was very small. If you persist in swimming for 3-5 months, eat in moderation, and walk 1-2 kilometers every day, your weight will naturally come down slowly.

Key points: swim short distances to find the floating feeling and get out of the water frequently to find the sense of gravity.

The above is the swimming weight loss method that the editor recommends to you today. I hope it can help friends who want to lose weight. In fact, swimming in the summer can not only help you lose weight, but also eliminate some of the summer heat. The editor recommends that if you are afraid of getting tanned, you can choose an indoor swimming pool or go swimming in the evening.
