Kinda-sorta.
The main driver behind weight loss and weight gain is calories eaten vs calories used up.
If you eat more calories than you use, you will gain weight.
If you eat less than you use, you will lose weight.
I'm not saying it is easy, but it is that simple.
Now, all physical activities that gets your heart rate up above your resting level will make you burn more calories, so according to that, swimming will "help".
Also, the more muscle you get, the more calories you can burn in a given amount of time, which will "help" too.
Trouble is, it only helps a little bit.
First of all, you need to be fairly good at swimming before it'll give much of a sustained raised heart rate, so you're not burning that many extra calories at the start.
Secondly, calories are so much faster to eat than to burn that even if you do high-intensity cardio, you just can't exercise hard enough and long enough to burn off enough calories to lose weight through exercise alone.
Any serious attempt at weight loss has to start with a change of eating habits. A lifestyle change really.
A single cupcake can take one hour of mid/high intensity exercise to burn off, and then you're just back to zero for that day. To actually lose anything, you'd need to keep going.
Yes, swimming is an excellent exercise.
Remember, you lose weight by using more calories than you eat.
Certainly! Any sort of aerobic exercise will burn calories and increase the metabolic burn rate of the body. Combined with a sensible diet, regular exercise is the best way to lose weight. And swimming is an excellent exercise, burning many calories and it is very difficult to hurt yourself while doing it.
Swimming can help you lose weight, but you have to have a routine. A routine is where everyday you go and swim for maybe an hour and then stop. Do this everyday for two weeks and you most likely will see an improvement. But remember: be patient, it may take some time. Try this and see if it works. I wish you the best of luck!
