first off i saw that someone posted saying that you don’t sweat when you swim… that kid is an idiot… you sweat a lot when you swim and if you don’t keep yourself hydrated then you will become dehydrated.
also i saw that someone posted that you only use your legs and arms.. this is also wrong… like most other ppl posted it is a full body exercise such as jogging (my fav. full body exercise is surfing though)
anyway… heres a brief overview of the different strokes and the parts of the body they work…
freestyle- biceps, triceps, lattisimus dorsi, trapezeus, quadriceps, buttocks, hamstrings, and gastroc nemius (aka calves)
butterfly- same as above but also the abs and pecs
breast stroke- same as freestyle but also the pecs and hip flexor muscles and especially buttocks
backstroke- same as freestyle but also the abs and sternocleidomastoid (front neck muscle)
swimming will help you use a little fat but it will mostly just help you build muscle and give you more energy and provide better brain, heart, and lung activity…. if you are looking to burn fat i would advise some sort of resistance training (ie. weight lifting and especially dieting)… the best thing to do is join a gym that offers a dietitian and personal trainer.

When you exercise and lose body fat, your body choses where the fat will be removed from. When I lose weight first place to go is my butt, even though I’m not aiming for it to decrease in size. If you want to lose your man boobs then do push ups, or muscle workout which are aimed at toning the pec’s.

Yes, any aerobic exercise like swimming or jogging will effectively burn fat all over the body, and swimming will give all your muscles a good workout to help build musculature. Just remember to complement your workout routine with a proper diet. Good luck!

idk cause swimming seems like it works out more of your arms and legs, not your chest…

it depends… swimming alone will not greatly make them smaller. Diet and excercise are the key to making them smaller. Try the plank pose and try weights for faster results. Good Luck!

I am a female, but I swam about a mile and a half every day and lost body fat. I started very slow, and worked my way up to that point. I think swimming is a great way to lose body fat, but you have to push yourself to go fast and keep moving your arms and legs. Push yourself to continue to swim for 15 minutes at a time at first. It’s hard, but you can do it. If you can take an aerobics swimming class, that would be better. There are resistance vests and weights that are made for water exercises that will help you lose body fat faster. Take it one day at a time, you can do it. Good luck!!!

Swimming is a full body exercise…it works on your entire body not a specific part of it. I wouldn’t worry about it making your chest smaller. More muscular? Yes…but again, to the entire body. It burns alot of fat and calories, it makes your feel more energetic afterwards. If you’re wanting to add more muscle tone to your chest there are weight techniques you can use to make it smaller but more defined. Best thing is for you to do is go to your local gym and ask a trainer for advice

i was a swimmer back in hs and college, and i could not keep weight on when i swam every day. swimming is a great exercise and will burn alot of calories. you will lose fat over your entire body as it is nearly impossible to target reduce fat. when i trained for swimming, i did more than just swim laps. i did alot of interval training. it is higher intensity, burns more calories, and is more challenging and less boring than just doing laps. i can give u some example workouts if you are interested, you should also try to incorperate a weight training session 3 times a week with the swimming to help tone and build your muscles. you can do a whole body workout in about 30 minutes if you circuit train.

yea i was on swim team. its the best excersize you can do. like within halfa year i had 6 pack abs, a very developed chest and a kick butt body.
do like 10 sets of 100 freestyle, and then like 10 sets of 50 butterfly, and mix it up, dont jsut do one type of swim, do brest stroke and a bunch of others and mix up the sets like 5 50’s or 10 100’s of something else

probly, cuz your using the muscles in your chest area when u swim with your arms and i heard swimming is one of the best excersises cuz it is gentle on bones and joints but works alot of your muscles so i think it will help alot. u should do some arm workouts too that use your chest muscles. find some on google or something

swimming works all your muscle groups. it is the best exercise there is. the breast stroke is what I would recommend.

No swimming does not make you lost a lot of wieght because you don’t sweat alot because your body is kept at a certain temperture so you won’t lose wieght at the chest.
