Is Swimming A Good Exercise To Help Me Lose Weight And Tone Up?

I’m a 22 year old woman and I want to lose about 10 kilos. If I swim daily and eat well, will I be able to lose weight? Is swimming considered cardio? I also want to tone up but I don’t want to bulk up and get all muscley. I am planning on swimming daily as well as a few aerobics sessions a week, will these exercises make me lose weight? P.s I will be eating a healthy low-calorie diet also.

    Swimming is an excellent form of exercise. Because the density of the human body is approximately similar to that of water, the body is supported by the water and less stress is therefore placed on joints and bones.
    Strengthening the muscles involved in respiration, to facilitate the flow of air in and out of the lungs,
    Strengthening and enlarging the heart muscle, to improve its pumping efficiency and reduce the resting heart rate,
    Toning muscles throughout the body, which can improve overall circulation and reduce blood pressure,
    Increasing the total number of red blood cells in the body, to facilitate transport of oxygen throughout the body,
    Increased storage of energy molecules such as fats and carbohydrates within the muscles, allowing for increased endurance,

    Yes! You will definitly get in shape doing this. I was on a swim team one summer in high school and lost twenty pounds, without dieting or extra exercising. Swimming is a great exercise becuase you work your entire body. Swimmers have nice lean muscles.
    Good luck!

    In fact, you probably couldn’t have picked anything better than swimming!
    It’s easy on your joints because of the bouyancy (not like jogging)!
    Whenever I go swimming I always sleep and eat VERY well afterwards!
