berenang lagie

again with the swimming!
since the reason why i started swimming again was because my hips don't lie and i was developing this handle that i do not love. then today i realized, wait~what benefits do each stroke offer? as i have SPECIFIC sites on my body that need immediate fat demolishing, i decided to look up on it and find the best one~ found this:

Breast stroke:

Breaststroke can improve the mobility of many joints

strengthens and tones the quadriceps at the front of the legs and the ham-strings at the back. as despite being the slowest sroke, it burns the most calories.

particularly calming and meditative

Backstroke

benefits postural awareness.

Backstroke strengthens the back, tones the legs and arms without putting strain on the spine, and increases hip and shoulder mobility.

Freestyle

It strengthens the back, tones the arms and legs, increases the mobility of the shoulders and hips as well as improving cardiovascular fitness.

There is evidence that the alternating action of the left and right side of the body balances the opposite hemispheres of the brain.

Butterfly

both energizing and calming. It mobilizes the spine, benefiting those with a stiff or tense back.

People suffering from sciatica and other lower back conditions have experienced relief

The stroke helps to tone the arms and legs, and the wide overarm recovery broadens the back.

so girls, choose the ones best for you ekh? btw, the amount of calories we lose is---------- 500-650 an hour! so come on babes let's swim!!
