What's the best sport to lose weight rather quickly?

Boxing is great, but I agree, soccer is good, too. Basketball could also be helpful.

If I were you, and this comes from experience, never a fat man, I have always loved getting

drunk on pints of lager, beer, cider, ale, etc! I love my booze bigstyle. So much so, that over time, my belly has fluctuated from big to medium… Let me stress that I am an active guy, who walks home from the public houses and cycles

to work. Normally the balance is okay, but I can never seem to shift the beergut.

Recently I started swimming. Along with everything else I did before I started swimming,

doing this is really helping. I’m going at least twice a week, but I always do as much as I

can in around an hour, and I always strived to do more than I did the last time. I have only

gone about twice a week since I started, and I really enjoy it now I find it relaxing and

rewarding. In fact I’d been working to my target to do 64 lengths in one hour, which I

recently achieved… This equals one mile, when swam in 25metre pool.

But, for my first time in the pool for years, after having been a heavy smoker for around ten

years. Althought lately, as I said, I had been an active guy. Out the bike everywhere, and

walking round town for hours and hours… Including the fact I have done double figures on

some of the highest highland munros! So I was okay on my first visit back, I managed

around thirty-five to forty minutes… I could do a few lengths, but not too much… I got really

sore arms at first after swimming. It was hard to get used to breathing, I was out of breath

at the end of each length and had to stop to rest!

But soon each time, aiming to swim a little further… even 1 length at a time, it started to

get easier…

I was really rusty so I downloaded the instructions from here;

and it soon got me going properly - I really wanted to do it, so I put in a lot of effort to

improve. Now I am really happy with the results and am aiming to shave the minutes of the

hour it takes to swim a mile!

Good Luck!
