When it comes to losing weight only three things matter

1.Eating less and or eating better(eating better is ideal but it's not necessary if you eat less)
2.Maintaining muscle mass. You need to do something to maintain your muscle or have higher activity level/an active hobby or you'll relapse.
3.High levels of activity. Most people are under the mistaken impression that HARDER exercise is better. It kinda isn't. I mean your body will respond well at first, but you'll plateau and begin to break down fast.
No, the real key is prolonged consistent activity like walking, gardening all day. Or spending an hour or so in the pool swimming at a comfortable pace and having fun.
You CAN go hard as fuck but it's not really necessary as long as you do it consistently and enjoy doing it. Why is your enjoyment so important? Because if you enjoy it, you'll do more of it.

I'm weak and skinny, but almost every time I go swimming, I notice progress. I only do breaststrokes however, when should I start doing crawl?

Swimming is the shit

Just learned flipturns on Monday, going to try and incorporate them more today

I highly suggest just playing in the water like a kid. Get your imagination going. Feel the water and how you move through it and you could yeah yourself a lot of things.

>I wanna be fit by the summer
Aim for next summer.

Typically all strokes start with kick.
Practice flutter kick and dolphin kick on your front and back with your arms down. Then practice with your arms in a streamline. You will become a god. Kick OP kick !kick!kick!
Next is body position. Try to be flat in the water.
Breathing
Arms
Timing

If you are under water you should be exhaling. Exhaling normally not fast or slow

I'm not fat, I just want to get toned and feel better. So it's okay I think.

Yes like I said, aim for next summer.
I don't think you understand that building a nice body takes time, especially if you're not gonna lift. If you're just gonna swim you won't even come close.

The best part is checking out qts in one piece swimsuits. Ehehehehe.

>1 hour of HIIT

spotted the guy not doing HIIT properly, jesus christ.

lengthen the warm up, add a cool down, do HIIT for 15-30 minutes. it's been proven that swimming tends to lead to overeating more than any other form of cardio, so be very disciplined about a good diet.

>>40302924
you should probably have started out doing crawl

>>40304069
this is very good advice all around. kick and body position go hand in hand
