Wednesday Cardio


One word. Ouch! Yesterday I swam laps various ways for 30 minutes.
Back Stroke
- 10 minutes burned 123 calories
Breast Stroke
- 10 minutes burned 154 calories

General Swimming (like in picture)
- 5 minutes = two laps (down and back is one) calories burned = 46

Holding on to edge of pool and kicking my feet
- 5 minutes burned 77 calories

Thats a total of 400 calories burned yesterday in a half hour workout. Compared to my 460 I would burn on the elliptical for an hour!

I LOVE SWIMMING! It is great on your joints and just absolutely the best cardio ever!
