SWIMMING: HOW SHOULD I TRAIN TO LOSE WEIGHT?

 TWO WORKOUTS, ONE GOAL Why two workouts instead of one? Paul, Nabaiji's swimming coach , explains:  

“If we don't take into account the more technical butterfly stroke , we can base the training on breaststroke , back crawl and front crawl . Breaststroke and back crawl are usually more accessible than front crawl , a swimming stroke that not everyone masters equally well. So we assume 2 swimming training sessions , a first based on breaststroke and back crawl, and a second more focused on front crawl .”  

However, the duration and distance of both workouts are the same, so you can easily fit them into your schedule:  

“In general, people spend between 45 minutes and 1 hour on a swimming session , good for a swim of about 1 kilometer with lifeguard class near me."

Swimming: how should I train to lose weight?

TRAINING WITH BREASTSTROKE AND BACK CRAWL FOR A FLAT STOMACH

If front crawl isn't really your thing, you can go for this workout that's more based on back crawl and breaststroke . I say "rather" because it's not really easy to do a complete workout without a front crawl . In addition , the front crawl is excellent for your core . Have you got your fins , plank and pull buoy ready? There we go!     Warm-up:   To loosen all muscles and joints and gradually increase the heart rate, we start with alternating lengths of breaststroke and back crawl:  

• - 4 x 25 m with 15 seconds of recuperation after each length   . Sequences with equipment:   Now it's time to get started with our equipment and focus on core training.  
• - 3 x 50 m with flippers and a board . Swim fast when going forward and slow when returning. - 4 x 50 m front crawl with a pull buoy .
•   You can rest 30 seconds between each round trip. Take the opportunity to drink to avoid cramps.  

Series without equipment:  

 We put our equipment aside and move on to the cardio portion of the workout to burn calories !  

- 50 m front crawl , 50 m back crawl , 45 second rest - 50 m front crawl , 50 m breaststroke , 45 second rest - 50 m front crawl , 50 m back crawl , 45 second rest - 50 m front crawl , 50 m breaststroke , 45 second rest - 50 m front crawl , 50 m back crawl , 45 seconds rest - 50 m front crawl , 50 m breaststroke , 45 seconds rest   Breathing out:  

To round off nicely and actively recuperate, we end with some breaststroke or back crawl of your choice.  

- 2 x 25 m breaststroke with head underwater or back crawl     That was it for our first training to get rid of your love handles . You have no doubt noticed that the training is for a 25 meter swimming pool. If you're training in an Olympic-sized pool , you can divide the number of lengths by 2. In both cases you swim 1,100 meters on your way to a flat stomach !

FRONT CRAWL WORKOUT FOR A SLIMMER WAIST:

If you have no problem with front crawl or if you want to use it to reach a higher level, I now propose you a standard training to lose weight based on this swim stroke and with the advice of our coach Paul.  

Warm Up:  

- 4 x 50m Front Crawl , 30 seconds rest every 50m. 

For this warm up, you can cover the first 50m using your left arm and keeping your right arm horizontal in front of you. For the next 50 meters you switch ( front crawl with the right arm and your left arm at rest in front of you). Finish with 100 meters of regular front crawl .

  Sequences with material: 

  Just like in the first training , flippers , a plank and a pull buoy are your allies in the fight against love handles :  

- 2 x 100 m with flippers and a plank . Do 50m fast, 50m slow and rest for 30 seconds between sets - 6 x 50m front crawl with a pull buoy . Swim 75m at medium speed (at 70% of your capacity) and 25m at normal speed. Perform the exercise 3 times (to get to 6 lengths) with 30 seconds of rest between lengths with lifeguard course near me.

Just like the first training  you can also use the breaks here to drink and avoid cramps! ;)

 Series without equipment:  

- 3 x 100 m front crawl   Swim the first 50 m at normal speed and the next 50 m at high speed, with 30 seconds rest every 100 m.   Time to blow out:  

After this 1,000 m front crawl we go switch to breaststroke to relax and still train your abs .  

- 100 m breaststroke  

 There you go, you have completed a training of 1,100 m based on front crawl and core training !
