Could swiming a lot replace normal exercises in losing weight and gaining some muscles ?

Question:

Answers:
It is an excellent low impact exercise
As for losing weight it has its downside.
The heating of regular exercise doesnt happen and so appetite suppression from the heating doesnt happen. In fact cold water stimulates appetite.
To build muscle first build capillary beds by lots of reps with light weights. After 3 weeks of that do 3 sets daily that you cannot do 10 reps of. Be sure to have adequate protein. You should bulk like crazy. Most people dont do capillary work and only get a small muscle gain then plateau.

absolutely!!!

yes as long as you are swimming laps and not just fiddling about in the water, it is good for exercise that does not jar your joints, it will give you long muscle strength and big shoulders if you do it enough, good luck.

yup and has actually be proven to be better exercise for the simple fact that if you in the water in takes a lot more to manuver around then outside of water so you are actually burning more caleries so on and so fourth that is why professional swimmers are in such good shape now your not going to go in a beach ball and come out a body builder like anything it takes work
