swimming for fat loss? - Wednesday, May 10, 2006 11:28 PM ( #1 )
hey i just joined a gym with a 50 m pool and really enjoy swimming after each workout.  Since one of my goals is to drop a few pounds i was wondering if swimming would be ok for this?  At the moment i do weight training then 20 mins cardio then swim for about 40 mins. (3 times a week)  
 
Was wondering if anyone else finds swimming useful for fat loss?
