Answer 2

i think the butterfly will

Answer 3

The Freestyle. practice swimming the 100m freestyle. just keep doing that that will give you a great arm workout. sprint all of the 100m, at first you probable cant sprint the whole thing, but slowly you will improve.

Answer 4

They all basically tone your whole body, so you really can't go wrong. If you learn how to do butterfly, it works your abs the most. But if you just stick with freestyle, you will get a really good workout.

Answer 5

The 'best workout' by definition would be the workout that tires out all parts of the body. For this reason, i would say that a combination of all swimming strokes would give you the best workout.

As for the time you need to spend swimming for it to be beneficial, the obvious answer is that ANY time swimming is beneficial but if you're after weight loss and toning of muscles then you should swim for at least 30 mins starting off. Then gradually increase the amount of time in the water and also the intensity of the workout.

I enjoy swimming as a workout more than walking or jogging as i sweat a lot when working out and when you're swimming it doesnt matter how much you sweat.

Swimming is a great way to lose weight 'cause it works nearly all of your body.

So, good luck and happy aqua-training.
