Eli5:why swimming it’s the better type of workout for overall general health?
In: Biology
I do think the context of this gets a bit lost..
if you don’t exercise much then all exercise is good, more moving around is good and more you do is better, whatever it is, doesn’t need to be structured or a sport
if you really want to examine the small margins and potential upsides and downsides of various exercises then yeah, swimming is great, good cardio, low impact
but if you don’t have access to a pool or enjoy swimming then it’s not the best exercise for you, 2h of swimming a week isn’t better then 5h or biking or running or tennis or whatever you can fit into your schedule and enjoy
