Breast Stroke?

Question

Does the Breast Stroke work the Rectus Abdominus (the abs) and does it help you get a six pack?

Answer 1

I am learning the breast stroke now, and my thighs are feeling the workout.

I think my pecs, too.  But not my abs.

Answer 2

Not reallyyy, that is mostly butterfly's job. But I mean if you do A LOT of breastroke like ALOT then I'm sure it does work your abs.

But with butterfly you will have to do less yardage to get great abs.

Swimming is very good at working your abs.

Answer 3

Swimming period works your abs. If you are looking for the biggest ab work out then I would suggest swimming butterfly. Breaststroke does help but i would say it helps more with your inner thighs than anything.

Answer 4

butterfly would be a better ab workout.
