best watch for runners and swimmers image
Hawaiian g
I am a competitive swimmer and track runner so I have very big muscular legs. I am now trying to tone them differently so they are much smaller and thiner. Does anyone know a way that I can do this? Please no stupid answers like "just stop swimming and running" or "just swim and run less"
Answer
I have never answered stuff like this but I feel like I have the same legs as you. I've always been an athlete and have the build that can really put on muscle if I want to.
I think the important thing to know is....how is the rest of your body? Do you feel like you are in shape everywhere else or do you have a few lbs you could lose that could help you lean up a bit? sounds like your real active though.
One thing that has worked for me is alot of endurace lifting...so light weights more reps. AND eating right....EAT CLEAN. Watch your sodium intake because sodium causes us to retain alot of water, I don't know what your eating habits are but most of eat a ton more than we should, you'll feel better and you'll tone up cause your cells wont be bloated :) I finally got a six pack following this rule.
Hope that helps.

I am a swimmer and would like to start running?

What kind of running should a person do to get a faster mile time AND let it improve their swimming for a child, who is 13?
Answer
running is a great cross-training option for swimming. in my experience, it helped me get leaner (something swimming doesn't do very well for me) and allowed me to get better cardiovascular capacity.
i suggest a combination of middle-distance sprints and some long distance (4 miles or so) endurance runs. just watch out for injuries: many newbie runners fall victim to this. make sure your child eases into his/her running regimen, doing around half or three quarters of a mile two to three times a week for one or two weeks and increasing it by increments of no more than ten percent per week.
