I have a question and wondered if any here might know. But what is the best swimming stroke for core muscle work (abbs)?
I'm not trying for a six pack lol, am a keen runner and training for a half marathon. I need to do more core work and don't like hell on earth, I mean the gym lol. |

Keen swimmer, do about 1km per day always mix it up, between forward crawl and breast stroke... Both are fairly good for the core but varying strokes is good for chest and shoulders.
Pilates is fantastic for core! |

"For core I would say butterfly, the strength comes mostly from your torso."
Well I signed up for full package at local pool so might take advantage of their lessons. Because I truly don't know where to begin with that stroke. Just as I'm increasing running distance I need better core work. I'd prefer a 10 mile run to an hour in the pool though lol. Thanks for the advice  |
