Having chronic fatigue syndromme means I can't engage in fitness schemes. But I'm developing a capacity to enjoy swimming. I need to lose a few lbs to wear last yr summer clothes.
How much swimming (hrs per wk) do I need to make a difference? Must I do some specific laps to lose abdominal area?
Isn't swimming better than walking for weight loss? I can't walk miles or too fast.
Help appreciated. And would love some support too.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,383,892I did some front crawl recently and it tired me out much quicker than running, so I would say swimming is great. I think they also say it exercises every muscle in your body.

This is a reply to # 1,383,892Whatever amount of swimming you do will make a difference. I would think that 2-3 days a week would be good to start out. You don't want to over do it at first because that can just cause problems. I don't know how long you swim for now but you could always increase the amount of time you swim by five minutes or so a day every few weeks. It might not help you lose weight real fast but you will be able to keep the body fat off.
