NT help me with an argument: what burns more calories, swimming or the eliptical?

[Shanegerous]

I know that swimming is more of a full body workout and less pressure on your joints, but I always thought overall, you would burn more calories from being on an eliptical. I've tried researching the calorie comparison, but haven't really found a good place of reliable sources.

Help me out, maybe I'm wrong here.

What burns the most, was being so close Op.

 

[bendover]

What burns more calories is being on that track 1sh.

I'll chime in as I swam competitively for 8+ years.

Pros

- Full body workout helped me build flexibility and really leaned me out

- A lot of fun when you get faster and build stamina/endurance

- Even better if you're swimming in a team/group

Cons

- Most pools use chlorine -- I smelled like funk funk all the time

- Swimming is essentially cardio -- I had abs and a V shaped body, but really lacked muscle --> I recommend lifting hard + swimming

- Workouts if you're a part of a team/group can go really long (average 1.5+ hours)

I'd personally say swimming.

Swimming is the answer. Intensity of the activity is the caveat.

My man slighted just made up his own question.

It may depend on body weight, light people don't have to use much effort to swim fast.
