Swimming. Have you ever tried each? You could bike for an hour but maybe only swim for 10 minutes.

Swimming as it is all over cardio/aerobic exercise working all the muscles, not just the legs.

which ever one you can do longer. I would say biking

swimming because u can continually exercise and i think its better all around for your lungs and health and less injuries.

Swimming is the best exercise you can do! It burns so many calories its ridiculous. It is a combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercise

Swimming for sure (you have to do less of it to burn more)

It really depends on how long you do an activity for and the intensity as to how many calories you will burn.

These are all calorie counters and will give you a rough estimate of how many calories you will burn for a particular activity. I would look at them all and get an average number by putting in the information on all of them and then get the average from all the results.
