Swimming: Get Fit, Burn Fat
Fitness and Fat-Burning Combined
Swimming workouts are a good way to improve fitness and burn stored body fat. Swimming burns calories, and - if combined with a calorie-controlled diet plan - will cause the body to burn fat-tissue - including stomach fat. In addition, swimming helps to develop the leg and arm muscles, so you get fit and get into shape.
Swimming Improves Fat Percentage
About 45 minutes of swimming burns about 450 calories. In one year, this daily fitness workout burns a total of 164,250 calories per year - about 47 pounds of stored body fat. This fat-burning improves the body's fat-percent - the muscle-to-fat
ratio.
Swimming: Fat-Burning Health Benefits
Because it helps to burn body-fat, a regular fitness workout (like swimming) contributes to improved health in several ways. It helps reduce stomach fat, associated with serious illness; it assists weight loss, thus maintaining normal cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Finally, it releases endorphins the happiness chemicals that improve mood. These health benefits are further boosted by a healthy diet plan.
