HOW MANY CALORIES ARE BURNED SWIMMING(BREAST STROKE) 1/4 OF A MILE?
I’ve just added swimming a quarter of a mile to my fitness regime, at the gym to lose weight. It has been taking me about 15mins to complete 1/4 mile. I know that that is quite long, but I have never been a strong swimmer, and I am mostly using it as a tool to strech out my muscles before I do weights, cross trainer etc. I weigh 151lbs and I am 5 ft 5". Also I am a smoker (yeah I know, my ‘give up’ date is on Monday). how many calories am I burning swimming this quarter mile, using breaststroke? Thankyou : )
Thanks! I think 100 calories is ok for 15 mins of moderate excerise.
Yeah, swimming is great, really streches out your muscles.
thanks guys : )
If you just swim for 15 minutes moderately, at your weigh, you should burn about 100 calories. If you want to lose a pound i think you have to burn about 3500 more calories than you take in as food. Hope this info helps you.

Im not exactly sure on how many calories you will burn , but I know that swimming is one of the best exercise methods, as you use your entire body to perform this motion -
