Depends on what you're looking for true enough.

But Calorie burning wise and number of muscles used in ratio majorly to moderate swimming wins.

I don't think so. Burning wise it goes

1. Running
2. Swimming

as far as I know.

Also I may be biased because I add extra points for the support/ injury aversie properties of the water.

Strangely enough I tend to strain my ankle when I kick off from the end

Next month im giving cross fit a go,there was a fat fuck at my gym thats made HUGE progress in 3 months since ive last seen him.

Really? That's encouraging. I've done some swimming stints before but I was never able to keep it up for more than a couple of weeks.



What is that?

It becomes a good kind of addiction after a short while, we've got you now


Pilates is sort of like Yoga but if focuses mainly on your Core Muscle, which is the muscle that is most active while lifting etc, if you have a weak core muscle it will but strain on your back and we know what happens from there.

The execises that I do are pretty basic, but they aren't yoga-ish at all.

I suggest you get in cotact with a Physiotherapist/Personal trainer that can tailor a program to your needs.

I was told different, but I doubt there'd be much difference either way probably an average of 600 cals each.

I wouldn't dare say that doing the 6 minute mile for an hour is not better than swimming, but I don't think many can do 10kmph for 60mins straight.

Great youre gonna overindulge with akhni & roti's now.

Only if you replace it by eating. Cutting down on smoking usually increases one's appetite but it's all down to the person to eat or not.

 

[Dostoevsky]

I'd gain 14 more kilos then. Hmm...

 

[icemaη]

Time to start smoking then Dusan

 

[Dostoevsky]

^ Yeah I guess it's time. It would probably work.

 

[icemaη]

How many kgs were you planning to gain?

 

[Dostoevsky]

I'm 1.81 70kg

5kgs for a start would be nice.

 

[DelpieroForLife]

I'd like everyone who go to gym frequently to post his height/weight, I'm trying to lose a couple of kilos, I think 75kg would be perfect for my height.

174cm/79kg

 

[Dostoevsky]

If you're not working out you should drop it to 70 IMO.

I've been working out for one month.

70 is to slim, I don't wanna get back to those days... short and slim

 

[Dostoevsky]

Eh it's not really short but if you're working our it's something else.
