Many recommend brisk walking to lose weight, but there is an alternative: which of the two makes you lose weight first?

Lose weight easily and without suffering too much? An almost impossible task, but there are certainly physical activities that help

In addition to the slimming diet, there are other factors that help you lose weight and above all help you stop gaining excess weight. First of all, the adoption of a long-term diet which, once the low-calorie diet is over, allows us to maintain the weight achieved without major fluctuations (obviously towards excess). So yes to a few more free meals, but also no to alcohol, too many sweets, too much salt in foods and a whole series of bad eating habits.

And then of course there’s the “ES factor”, i.e. physical exercise, essential for a healthy and correct lifestyle. Doing gymnastics, or in any case moving, is essential both to keep the body active, to safeguard general health, and also to lose weight. In particular, there are two types of physical exercise that are popular now, which have a series of advantages and characteristics that make them perfect for dieting. But what are they and how to choose between the two?

The I swim it is considered the most complete sport there is. Both disciplines, if we can call them that, offer a series of advantages that can help you choose. First of all, they help burn calories. Swimming in particular it helps burn a lot of them, especially in the case of intense training, because all the muscles move, but brisk walking also helps in this sense. Being carried out in water, therefore in the absence of gravity, it is considered a low impact activity, which means that it puts much less stress on the joints than other activities. But walking is too, given its characteristic of lightness.

Both swimming and brisk walking help tone muscles, although the first involves not only the legs and buttocks (toned by walking) but also the arms and abdominals. The various swimming styles also offer considerable variety and is very refreshing in the summer months, just as walking offers the chance to visit different places especially during the summer holidays. In short, both disciplines are equally valid, the choice depends only on personal taste.
