How much walking or swimming would you have to do to drop 1lb?

Answer 1

To lose a 1lb of body weight (not simply water weight) you would need to burn 3500 calories. Sorry to say, but this is alot of walking and swimming if you look to do it in one day...

Balance your physical activity with a balanced diet that will reduce you overall caloric intake to allow your basic metabolic rate to assist you in burning calories.

Answer 2

It depends on how much you weigh. Heavier people burn more calories in an amount of time exersizing. One pound equals 3500 calories. SO if you can find a website that will take into consideration your weight with the exersize that will let you know. But I think it is probably too much to do in one day.

Answer 3

It depends on whether you would drop it deliberately. If you walk or swim till you're exhausted, you might drop it from fatigue.

Answer 4

It accually depends. Girls lose weight faster than men for some reason
