Get yourbody moving: she swam off her postretirement pounds GET YOURBODY MOVING: SHE SWAM OFF HER POSTRETIREMENT POUNDS
If you need proof that swimming can help you slim down, look no further than Betty Johnson.
All her life, Betty had enjoyed swimming for recreation and physical fitness. While working as an elementary school psychologist in Jacksonville, Horida, she swam for 45 minutes, twice a week. She rounded out her exercise program with step-aerobics classes and strength training.
Shortly after Betty retired, her regular workouts came to a screeching halt. She took time off to decorate her condominium and spend 2 months traveling across the United States, Canada, and abroad. Betty returned home renewed and invigorated—but discouraged about her 15-pound weight gain. She decided to jump back into the pool to work off those extra pounds.
Betty swam for an hour, 3 days a week. She also lifted weights twice a week and enjoyed an occasional bike ride or long walk.
Within 3 months, Betty lost those nagging 15 pounds. She has maintained a healthy weight of 133 for 6 years.
At age 67, Betty, now a resident of Show Low, Arizona, remains passionate about swimming. In fact, she even began entering competitions. To date, she has won 11 medals—many for first place— and has advanced to national competition in backstroke and breaststroke.
"Swimming is such a peaceful and relaxing sport," Betty says. "When I do the backstroke, I stare up at the sky and daydream. I know what runners mean when they talk about a runner's high. After a challenging swim, I enjoy my swimmer's high."
WINNING ACTION
Slim down in the swimming pool. You may have heard that swimming isn't an ideal activity for losing weight. But in one study, women who swam burned the same amount of fat as women who walked. The trick is to make sure the water is the right temperature—at least 80°F. If the water is too cold, you may start feeling hungry as your body craves extra calories to burn for warmth. Also, be sure to swim continuous laps, rather than stopping each time you reach the wall. Do as many laps as you can in 20 to 30 minutes.
