Lifestyle Exercício físico
Many people don't know this, but most experts consider swimming "one of the best cardiovascular exercises that anyone of any age can do", explains Kris Gagne, a certified and registered swim coach, quoted in the British edition of Women's Health.
Why? It uses almost all the muscles to move the body and "the aerobic work helps strengthen the heart muscle itself, making it more efficient at pumping blood around the body".

In addition, he explains that swimming almost "puts no stress on your bones and joints", that is, it is a low-impact exercise that helps burn calories. How many?
In general, the Harvard Medical School, quoted in the same magazine, estimates that in just 30 minutes of recreational swimming: a 57 kg woman burns about 180 calories; a 70 kg woman burns about 216 calories; and an 83 kg woman burns 252 calories.
When you swim more intensely than normal, you can burn more calories in 30 minutes. More specifically, a 57 kg woman burns about 300 calories; a 70 kg woman burns about 372 calories; and an 83 kg woman burns about 444 calories.
