I don't what you mean by that, sorry.Where's your power meter?
I was quite into natation before moving to cycling. Natation is GREAT to improve endurance, just like high perfomance cycling. No wonders your cardio improved dramatically, swimming is a really tiring workout.
The most important thing is to keep the pace and breath well.
I wholeheartedly agree. I wrote this in another thread, but yesterday a friend and I rode 22.5 km to a nearby lake, had a swim and then rode back. Exhausting, but so much fun.Swimming is great for cardio especially during the summer months.
I don't know so much about cardio? It definitely has cardio benefits, but it's also technically a weighted exercise. It requires muscular exertion on a total-body level, so it isn't just a clearcut cardio exercise in the way running is. Running is exertion but the weight of the air is pennies to the weight of water.
You should find out why you are having difficulty in breathing. In my opinion, it is normal but it may be there because of the serious medical conditions. So, I would highly recommend you to visit the doctor. If there is no underlying cause, then you may consider this normal.Hi guys.. I have a question recently I stopped swimming and running because of difficulty in breathing. Am I sick? or its just normal?
There is a large cardio component to swimming. You can also engage in water aerobics as well if you really want some cardio benefit. Low impact and great for the heart.Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I've recently gotten back into swimming and I feel like my cardio has improved dramatically over the last few months I've been swimming twice a week. Did anyone else try this?
What's water aerobics? I've never heard of it.There is a large cardio component to swimming. You can also engage in water aerobics as well if you really want some cardio benefit. Low impact and great for the heart.
Absolutely this. I didn't mention it before, but swimming is great cardio if you have some nagging joint issues. I actually recommend swimming over running as preferred cardio if you want to lose weight.Swimming is great for cardio, just like any exercise is that gets your heart and lungs working more than they usually do. Swimming is also good for keeping you doing cardio even if your injured, as its a form of non impact exercise, meaning that if your struggling to cycle or go jogging for example then you can still exercise even with aches, sprains and pains.
Personally I prefer swimming over jogging anyway if I'm being honest, and there's been a few times now when ice come back from jogging with a twist or a knock due to the impact nature of the exercise, and like I said, with swimming that's something you don't have to worry about.
Only downside I have found, is that here in the UK, it can be freezing coming away from the pool in the winter with wet hair, haha!
Are they called blow-driers? That little fan machine with blows hot air? Sorry, English is not my first language, but I'm sure you know what I mean. My hair is always very short though, so I don't have problem with that. Plus I wear a hat in the winter.
I agree, definitely swimming over jogging for cardio. I just grew to love it so much.
