It's still summer - so swim.
Reasons why swimming is a good choice: 1) You stay cool and beat the end-of-August heat. 2) You get MORE tan more quickly while you're in the water, because the water reflects the sun's light directly onto you. 3) Just by leisurely paddling around, floating, whatever, you burn a TON of calories! You don't have to be frantically doing laps in the pool to get some exercise. Just by being in the water and moving in a relaxed manner, you're getting exercise in disguise!
Calories burned per hour: 404 calories burned, just by leisurely swimming.
Which is the same as...
- 1.5 Grande Starbucks Cafe Lattes
- 0.6 of a McDonald's Big Mac with cheese
- 5.1 glasses of wine (3.5 fl. oz)
- 1.5 Snickers bars
- 13.5 carrots
