Is swimming a better workout?

Question

I'm not so much worried about burning the calories, cause running burns more calories, and swimming gives the body a work out. would i be better off swimming for a better workout?

Answer 1

Not in a public swimming bath. You will come away with 1000 diseases and a lifetime of rashes and inflammations.

Answer 2

Swimming is a lot better on your joints than running, and it does give a total body work out. Working out a whole lot more muscles at one time than just running.

Answer 3

Both are great forms of cardio.
