Q- Is swimming better for weight loss?
A- Yes, swimming is better for weight loss as it is allows your body a fitness regime that is not part specific but takes care of it wholly. Of course, it burns a lot of calories.
Q- How long do you rest after a perfect swim or a workout?
A- I rest for at least eight hours a day. It helps the body recover fast and keeps it healthy. Another important thing that comes with sleep is schedule. I make a pattern to go to bed around the same time every night and wake up around the same time every morning. This will train your body to know when to recover and will make the process easier eventually.
