Question

What is a better exercise swimming or running and which one do you burn more calories?

Answer 1

Swimming is very good for endurance and heart/lung strength. However, on a strictly caloric measure, you would have to swim almost 3 times as long to burn as many calories as you do when running.

Both are great exercises, but if you're looking for a way to burn calories fast, choose running. Swimming will give you great muscle tone and strength, but it will take longer.

Answer 2

swiming

Answer 3

swimming burns more calories.

i only do running because i suck at swimming!

Answer 4

I think that running is a better exercise, but swimming is good too

Running burns more calories because when you swim, you don't have to fight gravity and it takes less of a toll on your body

If you have a running injury, then swimming would be the better choice
