what gains do u get from swimming??
does going to the sauna make u lose all the hard work u do in the gym(makes ur muscles go smaller)??
thanks for any replies

swimming exercises every major muscle group and is great excercise for any activity including the martial arts. A sauna will not make your muscles smaller, but will make you lose water weight through the sweat that is lost. Often times this is desirable. I don't know where you heard that "muscles smaller" thing....that doesn't make any sense.

Swimming is best thing for developing body, when you swimm you use more muscles tan in any ther sport. So its realy exelent for developing your body. if you swimm just for recreation than it cant hurt you. its exelent for muscles, bones, joints, heart....
If you use sauna you wont loose your muscles, you will lose only fat. But be sarefull id you have some problems with heart.

swimming will effectively exercise your major muscle groups. It will give the muscles stamina as well as get you more toned, however it is not an effective tool for strength training if that is what you are going for. If used in conjunction with weight lifting it will give you a very complete workout.
Oh yeah and that whole thkng about the sauna is bullshit

Swimming, is good in all the aspects listed accept for strengthening bones. I'm not sure who said it, but combined with weight lifting, which does strengthen bones then it is a very rounded workout.

It doesn't strengthen the bones, but it does take a lot of stress off of them since the water is supporting your body weight instead of the bones. It might not strengthen them, but it's certainly easier on them and your joints than something like jogging on a hard surface.

Tone yes, it burns fat in almost all places. Your endurance will also increase. You know what you can tray aswell...try practicing your forms while in the water.....it's pretty cool sort or like light resistance training.

well, budy produce more fat if you swimm alot in swimming pool. Temperature of swimming pool is always lower than temperature of your body so your body start to produce more fat. While you swimm every day you burn all fat, but when you stop swimming your body will still produce more fat for some time. Thats why swimmers havve problems with fat after end of cariere.
Well thats problem only for profesional swimmers who spend lot of timw everyday in pool, But if you swim juse as hobby (one hour every day) you whant have these problems.

oh yeah? I didnt know that. thanks setsu. I have touble swimming right now. The chlorine level in the pool in through the roof, burn the shiznit out of my eyes. Hey do goggles really work? do they make the burning stop?

Yes, I know how it is. You get used to it after some time. Goggles may help you, but you have to buy your size. So be carefull when you buy them. Also you may ask when they change water in pool and when these is les people, becouse than should be less chlorine in water. If you come before moust people come water will be much better. If some sports groop use same pool, then they change water before they have traning in moust cases and they put less chlorine in water.
It would be bes to go to talk with someone there who can tell you when is best time to come to that the pool where you swimm.
I personaly come to the pool in 7 oclock in the morning when there is noone and water is clean.

yeah i usually go like around 9 at night during the week dayz so no one is there just me and my wife. I am maad sensitive to chlorine. I tried going a week but the last time i went i couldn't open my eyes when i was finished. I went right to bed it burned so much
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Gong*Sao*
Goggles, like Setsu said, work as long as they fit. I've used them before as a kid, and you may get a little bit of water in there, but it's a lot better than normal. Just see if you can find a place that will let you try on a few pairs.

Swimming's also great because it's one of the few exercises where you don't drown in your own sweat :lol:>
Post: Kinjo:
But to train all muscle groups and to burn fat at every part of your body you would need different swiming styles right? Just doing breaststrokes would'nt cut it or am I wrong? If you want to swim to gain muscle what is the recomended time period in the pool? For how long time should you wait untill you switch to another swiming meathod? And if combined with weightlifting should you swim before or after lifting weights or should you have swiming sqeduled in a day of its own?>

-With swimming, is'nt it difficult to lose weight?
Your body is always cool in the pool, and to lose the extra pounds
a person needs to sweat it off. And you can't do that in a pool.>
Post: Gong||Jau:
You don't necessarily need to sweat it off. You need to burn calories through exercise, which is what swimming does. Besides, you can work up a sweat while swimming; you just won't notice because you're in the pool.>
Post: BLACK PANTA:
Oh yeah I just have to say this man "the goggles, they do nathin">
Post: setsu nin to:
Ofcourse that you may swet in pool, just you are in water, so its diferent feeling. You may swet in water same as out of it. Try to swim for 30 minutes.>
