Calories per hour of constant swimming?

How much calories do you lose swimming for an hour?

  • also is belly dancing good?

  • Answer:

    It depends on your weight and the speed at which you swim. Try this calculator to estimate the calories burned: http://www.stevenscreek.com/goodies/calories.shtml Guessing your speed may be difficult until you've done it a couple of times; if you want to estimate a number before you go, figure anywhere from 0.5 mph (if you're not starting out particularly well-conditioned or you have poor form in the water) to 1.5 mph or more for experienced swimmers. And bear in mind that being well-conditioned on land is not the same as being well-conditioned in the water, so you should probably guess between 0.5 and 1.0 mph if you're just starting out. As an aerobic activity, belly dancing is also good exercise - especially for your core (mid-section).
