30 minutes of swimming (lap swim, moderate in a pool) or
30 minutes of cardio (elliptical, treadmill, stair stepper etc)I do both, but what do they all do for me and which is best?
Answer:
Better is a vague term. In terms of calorie burning, you would lose more by doing 30 minutes of cardio (depending on the level). But swimming works out your entire body (esp your arms) while elliptical, treadmills and steppers are more focused on the lower half and torso (make sure you stand up straight while using them instead of hunching over in order to work out your torso and get in proper oxygen levels).So it's good that you do both because that way you can get an all-around work out.
I think swimming is better because it will make your arms a bit stronger too.
