Would breaststroke make my legs and arms bulky?

Question

I have a lot of fat stored in my thighs. I want to slim it down, is breaststroke good for reducing the fat in that area?

Answer 1

All swimming builds lean muscle mass which trims body fat when you exercise. Forget strokes, any exercise is good for reducing body fat.

Not everyone is built like Amanda Beard - a great slim breastroker.

Answer 2

No, you won't get bulky because you are swimming. It makes you slim down. Women can't get bulky very easily, so I don't think you'll need to worry about that.

Answer 3

cardio is breast stroke is good cardio. tightens up muscles on thighs (abductors and abductors) glutes to. also good for arms.
