    It depends on how heavy you are and how long you were swimming for and how hard you were working...swimming is a good way to keep active yes :)


    Hi i weight just over 9 stone ( i don't want to lose weight, but i want to keep healthy and stay in shape as i have put on 10lbs over the past year!) I was swimming for just over 40 minutes.

    I would say about 300 Kcal then.

    What do you mean by good? As long as you are exercising enough to keep fit and maintain your weight then it is fine.

    Hi P_U - manythanks for your kind offer.
    I have recently started running and am in training for the great south run in October. I'm loving the effect it's having on my legs but the rest of me is still quite flabby - although getting smaller:D. Is there anything I can incorporate into my running that will tone other areas such as bingo wings and tum?
    Thanks again:)

    Hi annie, that's great you are training for the GSR! I am sure you will have a brilliant time running it :)

    Have you thought about buying some small dumbells (2-3kg) and doing some upper body weights, such as a few bicep curls? That will help to tone up your arms - alternatively there is always good old push ups - brilliant for creating Madonna-esque arms ;)

    Hello PL - any ideas on what exercise, or exercises, I could indulge in? I'm the weight I shoud be and have age related arthritis in both hips and C5 and C6 vertebrae. Something that would keep me as supple as poss for as long as poss would be good.
    .................:)....I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)
