    Re: swimming or tennis?

    Hi,

    Swimming burns slightly more calories than tennis. But when you play tennis for longer time than swimming, both become equal. So both tennis and swimming equally helps in losing weight. There are many other factors other than this, to loose weight.

    Re: swimming

    Hi preethi, yes swimming is an excellent way to loose weight...but since u dont know how to swim..u will need to learn that...while learning dont expect to loose alot of weight....to gain maximum weightloss form swimming u need to be doing laps really fast. So tha mount of calories being burt depend on the style and speed.

    Does swimming help for weight loss

    Has anyone tried swimming to lose weight? How effective is it?
    Now the summer is coming up so i want to gather inputs from friends here and know their experiences. Will it have any effect on hair like hairfall,hairloss etc due to chlorine?

    Re: Does swimming help for weight loss

    Hi,
    I have heard from different online sites that swimming does help but I too have a question on how long it would take to loose like 10 pounds. Also I am 34, so want to know if it is ok to start swimming at this age or it would cause any issues like muscle tear. Please answer if anyone has experience. thanks

    Hi Happywoman,

    Though I havent tried personally swimming to reduce weight, I know for sure that it helps a lot for weight reduction.... You can definitely try it in this summer as in any case it is a very good form of excercise...

    Love,
    Vidyaa
