I'm part sloth but wanted to start exercising. I hate running/ jogging and once did a 10k, after swearing the whole way around the course, I swore I'd never run again... Several additional stone later, I've sadly kept that promise.
So I'm thinking of starting to swim two nights a week. However, will it help my fitness levels and weight loss? I ask, as I am the slowest swimmer known to man! I can do a sort of front crawl but after one length I'm left gasping for breath and knackered. When I do my breast stroke/doggy paddle I can do more lengths but Jesus, I'm slow! Octogenarians overtake and I'm conscious of how slow I am. So, any tips? Will it help? Should I consider another exercise instead? Or if I persevere, will I get quicker? Also, due to how slow I am, I don't do many lengths. Does a little help and is it worth it?
