Question: Swimming a mile vs. an hour on the Eliptical machine?


Question Description:
Which is the better exercise, if any difference at all? Swimming the mile (approx 88 lengths of the pool I use) or an hour on the eliptical machine. Thanks in advance.

Answer#1: OH to swim a mile in your trunks! Hmm, the elliptical mach, is prob better fat burning but the swimming is better for your joints. Stamina building too... however neither will work if you just do them once! lol


Answer#2: I think that swimming is a better muscle builder and stamina builder, but an hour on the elliptical machine would burn much more fat. You decide, my love. Either way, I'm coming to watch. :)


Answer#3: An hour on the elliptical will burn alot more calories and fat..... swimming is a very good exercise though.
