Swimming Is Good


I was feeling so lazy since I came back from vacation. Thought of going to gym was there but the action to it wasn't. This morning went for a swim at the pool in my apartment. The 30 minutes swim made so much difference.

Swimming is considered to be a healthy and relaxing activity. It not only tones the body and provides an excellent cardiovascular workout, it also strengthens your heart muscles and improves the delivery of oxygen to the different parts of the body. With that, it keeps you energize and takes away the awful lethargic feeling.

Another interesting fact about swimming:

Swimming is a great calorie burner

Swimming burns 3 calories a mile per pound of bodyweight. For instance if you weigh 150 lbs and it takes you roughly about 30 minutes to swim one mile, then you can expect to lose 900 calories in one hour. Swimming for fitness is quickly gaining a lot of popularity, as it can be a perfect activity for nearly anyone. This includes the most competitive athletes to the physically challenged individuals.

Go for a swim!

She was then told that she had committed an offence and ordered to follow the men to a police station. The girl was driven in her car along the North-South expressway to the Tapah-Cameron Highlands road before...
