Does swimming tone your stomach?

Can swimming give you a skinny stomach?

  • My cousin is on a travel swim team, he has a skinny stomach. Some people say swimming cant give you a skinny (or flat) stomach some say it can. WHICH IS IT? When people say it can tone you up, what does that mean? Does it mean it can make your stomach tight and skinny or make your stomach bulge out with muscle? If it doesn't, what should i do?

  • Answer:

    look at any swimmer's physique, they are always lean and a little muscular. edit: right you'd want to swim like an athlete not just playing around

Tone is smooth and yes

any type of workout can give you a skinny stomach. But it is also a combo of cardio, strength training, and eating right. If he is training many hours, he is probably burning a LOT of calories, and it will be difficult for him to put on weight.

It depends on the type of swimming you are doing. Competitive style swimming uses the abs alot, and thus they have a flat stomach. Doing what normal people do in a pool, will not help you lose your stomach.

Yepppp.

swimming exercises all parts of the body, hence why most swimmers are muscly. Different strokes and swimming techniques can flatten the stomache faster than others. In general swimmers don't have fat, only muscle weight

i remember awhile ago when i was doing swimming i would lose weight really quickly.and i didn't do like swimming laps i would just swim around.i lost like 8 pounds this one week for swimming like 40 minutes.and that week i only went three times!

yes swimming is very good for you.
