Let's start with: SWIMMING!


Swimming like running should be practiced two or three times a week in sessions of 45 minutes to 1 hour.


Whatever the activity you decide to do you should enjoy it. Swimming is a complete sport, maybe it is a complete sport of all because You use all the muscles of the legs, trunk, and arms. It is a sport that can be practiced by people of all ages and has no impact unlike that which may have been running or walking. We must keep in mind that strength is better That in sports you go against gravity.

Swimming allows you to do cardiovascular work, it helps you lose weight and tone your muscles. It also helps many people who suffer from problems in the back or in the joints due to the weightlessness of the aquatic environment. The style cool or free is which is recommended for faster swimming. Swimming is a complete exercise where the muscles of the body are worked, although when we run or walk we work more the lower train or the front.



And now- RUNNING!


Running is a very effective sport for weight loss, besides that you should not invest any money or maybe if but it is more economical and you need less preparation than in the swimming. Although it should not be practiced by people who are overweight because it can arrive to be counterpoint to your ankle and knee joints. If you are very obese, it is preferable to walk.

Running is ideal for taking care of the osseous system and in relation to bones that need impact exercises to increase the density. Something that can not be achieved by swimming, walking or running daily and adding it to your routine can increase the production of Cartilage that helps prevent arthritis. Swimming or running can increase the blood flow to the ear, being a carrier of nutrients that can help preserve a well-functioning ear, only that people who decide to swim usually have difficulty adapting to the water environment with respect to their ears.

Runners routinely speed up the process by which the body's cells produce new muscles, especially if it is put on grass or sand instead of running on pavement. Be the exercise of your preference, swimming and running has its benefits and also its cons. But it is better to take advantage of all its benefits that in the long run are the best to keep us healthy. You must keep in mind that everything is in discipline and constancy, that Is the secret to having the best results, not only must be a hobby and you must have a certain schedule to practice it and days of the week.



Do you want to be a swimmer or want to run to become the winner of a marathon? 


In both sports you can be a winner, everything depends on your effort and dedication in the sport that you decide to practice, you have the last word, just see which is the best for you and decide to start practicing it as soon as possible.

In my openion running os way better simply because I better at running than swimming haha

But in all seriousness I think running is more assessable especially in areas with little to no safe water to swim in!

Hehehe, I got you buddy. Thanks for commenting, @waphilip!

Anytime my dog!

Hi Lazariko 12 in my openion I prefer running becaise I don't know how to swim

Thanks for sharing your opinion, @abdelaziz!

I think running is easier to do, because you can do it everywhere. For swimming you need a pool or a sea and it winter it is cold:D So running is easier, but swimming is better for the whole body muscles and the joints. I like swimming a little bit more because running is boring. Please compare running and cycling!

Definitely recommend swimming as cardio training for people with joint injuries, far less impact than running.

However being able to run and sprint effectively is a great sign of physical ability :)

The only bad way to train cardio is to do nothing :')

Hahahah yeah... I like to do both cardio and nothing at non-workout days heheh

Nice read and a good comparison. Not in for a marathon, but I love running. Not much of a swimmer though. I guess the only investment you have to make is good running shoes. Buy shoes that support your body and keep your healthy.

Yeah. Shoes are the most important thing to buy before running. Thank you for your comment, @callmephilix!

Photo where the swimmer is very funny :))))

LOL thanks, Tali!

First swim, then run, and after that take your bike! :-) Anyway; not everybody has a place to swim in relatively warm water, running coud be done on Streets , forest, indoor (belt or stadium), outdoor, so actually everwhere,.. But looking at the "bones and connected parts" swimming will be better .....

Yeah... I know. Running is the most simple sport, isn't it? :)
