Yes, jumping rope is good exercise for burning calories and it also has a positive impact on coordination.\n\nAt 85 pounds, in 15 minutes will burn 70 calories.\n\nWear good shoes, though, to avoid foot problems due to the higher impact of this exercise.

This depends on intensity and speed, at level 4 (on my x-trainer) and with rpm ranging between 65 and 70, I burn 70-80 calories in 10 minutes, so thats 7 or 8 calories per minute.

it doesn't matter if it is in cold water. i'm on the swim team. and i usually get hungry after practice but i waste a lot of my energy swimming, so i gain it all back with food :) yeah, swimming is a good way to lose calories. i lost about 7 pounds since i've joined.

Swimming is an excellent way to lose fat and very low impact. Just remember that in order to lose weight, you must stay in the heart rate zone (135-160) for a good and constant period of time, like 20-30 minutes each time. Work up to it if you can't swim for 30 minutes straight.

Work on your stroke technique. If your strokes are sound, work on the hydrodynamics of your body. Keeping your body streamlined, in the correct position, and energy efficient while in the water. If you are talking about improving your times in competitive swimming in the pool, work on the transitional parts of your swim, the start, turns, and finishes.

You've got to modify your food intake, and start lap swimming.  There is no more safe or effective way to exercise every single muscle in your body, including the heart, and burn lotsa fat.

You could. Swimming burns a lot of calories as compared to other exercises. As long as the number of calories you burn is more than the number you consume, you will lose weight. So swimming is a good start. Good exercise and eating right will help with losing weight.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SWIMMING! I swim about 20 hours a week training under the coaching staff of 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist Kristine Quance.  It is the best sport ever!

To lose one pound, you have to burn 3,500 calories. Sound tough? Not if you break it down. To lose a pound a week, do an hour each day of any activity that burns an extra 500 calories.\n\nThe number of calories you'll burn during exercise is affected by your body weight, the intensity of your workout, your conditioning level, and metabolism, so burn rates are only an estimate. But here are ten activities that blast about 500 calories per hour, based on the weight of a 130-pound woman.\n    *\n\n      Rowing (vigorous effort): 502\n    *\n\n      Running 5.2 mph (11.5 minute mile): 531\n    *\n\n      Ice skating 9 mph: 531\n    *\n\n      Kickboxing: 590\n    *\n\n      Rock climbing (ascending): 649\n    *\n\n      Cross-country skiing (vigorous effort): 531\n    *\n\n      Swimming laps freestyle (vigorous effort): 590\n    *\n\n      Bicycling 14 - 15.9 mph (vigorous effort): 590\n    *\n\n      Walking up stairs: 472\n    *\n\n      Running up stairs: 885

yes swimming is a great way to lose weight. its a cardio work out which is one of the quickest ways to lose, and it builds muscle tone at the same time.

the thing with just having cardiovascular activity is--\nthe burn of calories happens only when activity is done...you stop burning once you stop the activity, whether its biking, running, or in your case, swimming. \nto be more effective in weight loss--i would recommend doing light toning weights (3 sets of 15) in a whole body workout, then doing cardio after weightlifting. This way, you are using short energy stores like glucose for the weight lifting, and are burning primarily fat during the cardio exercise. Also, weightlifting allows you to burn calories (as the muscle repairs) even after you are done with weight lifting, so you can still be burning calories 8-12 hours after your weight lifting session. \n\nAn additional way to lose some lbs--is by eating 6 small meals over a day, instead of 3 larger meals. The quantity is the same, but you space it out over more increments for a higher boost in metabolism. Hope this helps.
