Q: I am probably only 10 pounds or less. probably like 5 pounds overweight. I am on a high school football team. But I am wondering what is the fastest way to lose weight is? Is swimming the fastest? If so what type of swimming should I do? Like freestyle, butterfly, breast stroke, etc. Please dont suggest running as I am already working out 4 times a week for over 3 hours each time.

A: The fastest way to loose weight is exercise. Granted, swimming works your entire body, and is great for you, but it may not be the best thing for you. The best thing for you is what you want to do. Effort is a key factor. If you force to do something that you find miserable, you might start out trying real hard but in the end you will loose steam. In this case, you wont get the results you want. Since you do football, maybe just try running more often. Give swimming a try. Swimming as exercise is really rigorous. It is like comparing a walk in the park to mile sprint. People think they can just go in the pool and get a great workout, feeling great afterward. The truth, when a person starts out swimming they hate it because their body is not used to this kind of work. This is when most people drop it. If you do stick with it, try and do distance freestyle and sprints. There is no need for you to do the other strokes, because you will have to learn them and that is a waist of time, Maybe backstroke, play with it. Try different things, What ever you feel the most comfortable with is what you should do.
