Is swimming the best form of cardio? Discuss.
>>77312332no, doesn't improve bone density . Good rest day/morning wake up cardio tho. Also op is a faggot.
i plan on swimming soonwhats the meta for good and cheap bathing suits + goggles?
>>77312332Yes.
>>77312649i always get speedo. but they are not cheap. could just go to k-mart or wherever and get some budget stuff. it really doesn't matter as the pool chemicals wreck everything irrespective of cost or quality.
>>77312649with goggles if you can you should go to a sports shop and try a few pairs to see what fits your face shape, nothing more annoying than getting constant leaks. No need to get anything that's over $30 imo.Silicone cap. Bathing suit slip or boxers depending on what you are more comfortable with, with the latter just don't get anything that's too loose. If you're in EU you can get everything at Decathlon for cheap

They don’t look like that because they swim. They swim because they look like that. Play to your strengths
>>77312332Would I be better at swimming if I was gay?
>>77312332theoretical: yes because extremly joint friendly and whole body involvementpractical: no because you need a lake or swimming pool which means for most alot of friction to get to the place first. also you need a closed facility in winter.conclusion: the best form of cardio is what you do regularlybecause you like doing it
>>77312966For me, walking. And you??
>>77312985hear me out: walking uphill (and then downhill)Craziest shit ever, I'd like to meet the guy who invented it
>>77312985walkingjoggingbicylingthose 3 in rotation depending on what time mood and regenration allows. i think the trick is to be less dogmatic about things.
>>77312839You can do swimming and not be competitive. It's still fun if you like it.>>77312649Try to get briefs that are on sale. Anything skin tight is the best for leg mobility and briefs are the cheapest option. If you head shape is normal any googles should do.
>>77312332If you fucking LOVE it, then yes. But for most people, no. Its annoying and expensive. Every swimmier I know has shuldr problems at a young age. Its also gay and when you get out of breath, unlike everything you else, you starte to choke and drown.Seems less than optimal.
>>77312332no because I will only swim in a private pool full of distilled drinking water and that's "not realistic"
REMINDERThe op (kekke) is a 38 year old trooned out wog from australia. He doesn't work and literally does not go outside. His life revolves around spamming 4chan
>>77312332Jump rope by far but cycling gets fun points and also allows you to never have to do leg day.
>>77312332Discuss my bollocks.
>>77312332From left to right, if I'd suck their dicks:1. Yes2. Yes3. Yes4. Yes5. Yes6. Yes
>>77312332why does every good form of cardio overdevelop your obliques? picrel would be so aesthetic if they didn’t all have teenage mutant ninja turtle bellies from massive swimming obliques
>>77312332dude on right has absolute flippers for feet. natural advantage
>>77314317why are you so focused on his feet
>>77312649>bathing suitsTurbo swim briefs for me, €30. Spanish brand, I believe. Excellent cut and durability, better cut than Speedo and Arena in my experience. Plain classic colours (black, blue, red, etc), various designs, also custom designs for swim teams (including mine)>gogglesTyr Blackhawk and Arena Tracks for me (pic related, £15), plus Tusa anti-fog once the factory coating has worn out. I struggled to find a model that fit my face well and doesn't leak. Those ones work, so I'm not changing. Adjustment loop in the back is more practical than on the sides. Clear lenses maximize visibility indoors. I don't know why brands are selling so many tinted and mirrored models, those only make sense to me for outdoor swimming>>77314243>shuldr problems at a young ageWrong technique, but many such cases. Swim instructors as a whole are not as good as they should be>when you get out of breathHere too, wrong technique, but common>>77314296Bit gay but I can't say I wouldn't
Kek the meta thread got beleted
>>77314480:(
I get cramps when trying to basically HIIT swim :(
