I know that swimming is great for the heart and lungs and is a great way to keep fit however, is it a good way to burn fat?

Swimming is a great way to lose fat... It's Possibly the best way to get ripped without stepping into a gym.

to burn fat you need to do cardio, at least 20-30 minutes. you need to keep your heart rate higher than normal (of course not too high). getting your heart rate in that "zone" is where you really start to burn fat. swimming is actual one of the best cardio exercises you can do because it is low-impact on the joints, offers resistance, and is a total body workout.

if people would exercise more they would not have to worry so darn much about food...Are you really serious about doing this? We are talking about hard work. Putting down your little debbies, getting off your butt and not only going on a diet but EXERCISING!!! Even if you lose the weight it will come right back if you do not have the desire and motivation to not only look cute but to be healthy. it is going to take alot of inner strength I can assure you of that.
1.) eat 4-5 small meals a day
2.) drink lots of water
3.)exercise every day
4.) do not eat 4-6 hours before you sleep.

It is supposed to be excellent. Don't you know how exhausted you are after swimming? You just don't notice it much while doing it.
