as a swimmer it’s really hard to suddenly get into a pool and force yourself to float in water early morning. GOOD JOB ANNIE!
Especially in the winter when the water is FREEZING
@@beatriceolderog6994 dude you have pools that are warmed up and have a fkin roof and walls😂Olympic pools
@@haloo3951 the pool is not warmed tho. And its not olympic. it is a normal pool size
@@beatriceolderog6994 i was not talking about this pool…i sayd they got olympic ones to go winter
Wet your hair in shower, put on Lycra, then latex cap before swimming.
The fact that she continued the challenge when she was on her period is just *chefs kiss*
Haha I know I would’ve just given up after that
Won't the period leak to the pool
@@mochakookie7481 idk i mean I’m on my period but I’m not swimming until I finish
@@mochakookie7481 if you use Tampons then no
@@emanuella0076 no your period don't leak in water
UR DEDICATION + THIS EDITING is amazing omw
Hi erika
OMG HI ERIKA LYSM
Hey ILYY
hi erika ilysm, you and Annie are the best!! So hard working and fun to watch
OMG HI ERIKA ILYSM
I can confirm this. I swim 2 sets everyday - 5am and 6pm.
I can say that swimming is another form of proactive meditation. If you work in a high stress environment, you definitely should try swimming.
You want to be a professional swimmer??
Because in my country I started to have a full schedule of 5days a week of swimming to go to regional competitions, but I had like 4 hour of swimming
I swim every day, one hour 60 laps international pool size. Life is amazing. Cannot live happily without swimming
@@khadidjaaddi9081you can’t be a professional swimmer it’s not a thing even Olympian swimmers are classed as amateurs as it is an amateur sport because you can’t directly get paid from it on a regular wage like a job.
I think a lot of gen z doesn't go to the gym yet because of our parents. They don't feel like driving us. So a lot of us resort to home work outs.
so true
This but my mom has membership and said she would take me but now I have my License but im broke so cant pay for it 😭
@@leah7697 I felt this 💀 Plus I just dont have time to take 20 extra minutes to drive. Working out home when you are young is still just as effective 🥰
Now I feel weird because I'm technically Gen Z but already graduated college and I drive myself to the gym lol 😭
same my parents dont like taking me three times a week but i’m glad it’s become routine because they can’t really say no anymore lol 😆
Girl, I just need to say that as a swimmer I eat 2 dinners after a 2 and a half hour practice and still manage to maintain my weight while building muscle. I dont think that swimming is counterproductive to losing weight, it's just that everybody has a different metabolic rate. Also it depends on how long you practiced and the intensity of the workout. 300 calories doesnt seem like a lot for a swim session.
Hey i am planning to do swimming to lose weight, can you tell me some tips on how u lose fat while maintaining/gaining muscle?
i 100% agree
I agree!!!
@@khushilangia86 swimming itself is a full body workout so will help lose weight all over anyways. the main tip is consistency, the effort you put in is the results you'll get out. work out on technique, it'll help you swim for longer distances without as much effort so you wont be as tired and be able to achieve better results.
as for gaining muscles you can isolate your kick with a kick board or use some fins for added resistance, this will build your leg muscles.
you can isolate you're pull with a pull buoy and use paddles for extra resistance, this will build your arm muscles.
you should follow a training plan based on your needs, itll help you stay motivated and allow the session to flow easier
As a swimmer, i can confirm that swimming makes your life much harder 😂
yes ahah, always waking up early or late workouts
yess omg and i get so hungry after i swim
yes oh my gosh! the amount of food I eat after practice is insane!
LITERALLY
Same lol I always go swimming everyday
Annie romanticizing her life gives me such inspiration
yep i have to do that every morning and night as a swimmer 💀
ME TOO
Yup pretty much
Me too
I rlly admire u all because I would be too lazy to do that
yes!!!
WOWWW i was in swim and water polo for all of high school, and it is definitely hard to get out of bed for those morning workouts
AHH I LOVE UR VIDSSSS SO MUCH
@@notmebutu6240 AHHHH THANK YOUUU THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME
@@crystalliveslife AWW THANKS
omg water polo is the bestttttt!! so much respect 😘😘😘
@@thebrosasfamily7200 THANK YOUUUU🥰
7:21 yep!! As a swimmer who swims during the summer and for my school I recommend using hydrating shampoos and conditioners, if you want to continue doing skincare make sure it’s gentle and hydrating (if it’s harsh your skin most likely will peel) and ofc hydrating soaps, body washes and lotions. Even still it definitely is a sacrifice I find worth taking because I do always feel productive after.
I think losing muscle was less about swimming and more about the weightlifting stopping abruptly
Yes, thank you for pointing that out. Almost got discouraged from starting my swimming routine today for weight loss but thank god I have a brain and you also confirmed this point.
Not to mention the amount of appetite after swimming is strong. If you eat of the wrong items you can gain those calories right back quickly. Its likely that she did burn alot, but maybe the fat came back in combination of a high appetite and wrong food choices?
But wt lifting gives you fake muscles for pictures!!!
I think that it is important to note that you are training at a different level than competitive swimmers who have been doing this for years, so while you may not be seeing as good of results I’m about 90% sure you aren’t training nearly as hard as you are on land. It’s the same for me as a swimmer, me doing dry land workouts for 2 hours isn’t going to be nearly as effective than me swimming for 2 hours. It takes practice and time to get at a place in the sport where you are actively losing weight or gaining muscle,whatever you’re goal may be. So please remember this before you go and join a different sport or start doing a different type of physical activity! ❤️
swim caps don’t look the best, but they’re LIFE SAVIORS for my hair lol
as a swimmer, props to you annie for doing this on your own because i could NEVER
Swimming is the only workout that I enjoy, I've been swimming for 20 years+ and I look forward to every time I go swimming, its hard sure, but it just feels amazing swimming and pushing yourself 😄
That gym is literally the best! It’s so close to my house and the pools are all amazing 10/10!
My favorite part about swimming in the morning is riding my bike to the pool. In such a loud world, the morning is so quiet. It’s my favorite part of the day
Annie is literally so motivating with all the challenged she does 😍
I used to swim competitively and I stopped bc of an ED that i developed during that time but lately i realised that swimming was never the problem in the first place, the problem was the team that I was working with. This video actually made me want to start swimming again bc I’m not searching for a perfect body but just a place where I can be alone with my thoughts
fun fact about swimming:
michael phelps eats 10,000 calories every day because he swims/works out so much (at least he did during the olympics) (this may not be accurate but somebody ik said this lol)
i’ve heard that before!
didn't he eat like a tub of vanilla ice cream before every race or something lol
He does
@@emmazini3723 oop i haven’t heard that before but dang lol
I heard he ate 12,000 calories a day 😳
i’m swimmer. and i just wanted to say that you’ve got to mix things up. in the gym, doing the same routine consistenly for weeks on end will do little muscle growth. when lifting weights, you probably focus on your arms one day and your legs another. the same principle applies with swimming. u can swim w kickboard, to focus on ur legs. swimming is a great way to stay toned, but it shouldn’t completely replace traditional strength training. building muscle through swimming is a great way to stay lean and toned if you go about it the right way. swimming is ideal for just about anyone. regardless of age and condition, the benefits include improved recovery, a solid cardiovascular workout and of course muscle toning and growth. swimming surpasses most other sports in this regard by providing an ideal stimulus for muscle growth right across the body. in particular, the shoulders, abs, back, legs and triceps get consistently worked while swimming.
btw i really enjoyed this video, wish u the best! saying hi from czechia🤍
Hey mate, I am about to start swimming in less than 10 days, can u guide me a bit about pre/post lotions for body and others necessary things.
@@PrinceSingh-tm7hb Ok I'm a swimmer and like if you can get shampoo and lotion that works for you it can work wonders. Paul Mitchell has a great shampoo for getting chlorine out of your hair, and I would use moisturizing lotion or what ever works best to try to rid your self of dry skin. Good luck!
I love swimming. Also since I gained lot of weight it is the most safest on my knees. Haven't swim for about 10 years now and I'm gonna start this week. Super exited. Can you explain more about how to swim for muscle growth?
@@zacharymangoba3128 thnk u mate
Hey ! I have one qst: how do you protect your hair like which shampoos etc do you use so it won’t be damaged?
lol I'm a swimmer and we're about to start our summer season and our practice time is about to be 7:00-8:30 am. One thing I've found helps a lot with the dry/damaged hair is wetting it after putting it in a bun, and then swimming. You can also put conditioner on your hair to create a protective barrier.
I'm not looking to build muscle, but rather get very toned and tighter, so I think this is a great workout for me.
Me as a swimmer watching this video: mhm yes literally enduring this everyday
I just got done at a swim meet right now 😭
Most don't account that the hunger you get after swimming could just be you being thirsty. I see many people doing a lot of time on the pool and not have a source of water during their workout. Same as if you lift weights or do cardio running or cycling you normally take sips of water during your workout. Many ignore hydration during swim workouts because they're not sweating since they are in the water when you actually still lose fluids in your body.
as a swimmer: just want to say you did such an amazing job especially w/o swimming consistently recently. v proud of u & love your vids❤️❤️
Also swimmers have to workout on land a few days a week, so they usually don’t just swim all the time.. Love yaaaa
You've literally tried and mastered every single workout challenge that exists. You're so amazing because I would never be able to do that. :D
my physics teacher actually swims everyday at 5am!! idk how she does it tbh haha. but she’s very active and when it’s class time @ 10 she says her body already feels accomplished
Oh I swim almost every single day of summer! My weight never changes b/c swimming also makes me hungrier than anything else, but I do notice that in dance practices in the fall, my stamina is peak! Others be panting & I just feel and energized - which I’m pretty sure the daily swimming plays a big pt in. Cardio, breath control, some resistance for muscle maintenance-it’s got it all
ANNIE WHY CANT I BE AS FIT AS U? I CANT EVEN GET OUTTA MY BED IN THE MORNING OMG
haha mood
For an I guess answer for your question. Yes swimming will make you so hungry after any workout no matter what. I am on a swim team swimming 6 days a week and 2 hours per day. Sure you may feel so hungry but if you keep doing swimming a lot during one week to me it won’t really affect you. Sure you may be losing the same amount of weight just by lifting but swimming is to me way more physical, you have your whole body involved to each stroke you take. I suggest maybe zoning out before the pool, by listening to music, or even stretching out your muscles. Zoning out or stretching is a huge role in swimming no matter what.
YES I agree where is Gen z at the gym ?!?!? I go to the gym and wake up every morning at 6 am too and I see no one that's my age. Waking up early to the gym is such a growth and mature thing that you learn from and I wish more of our generation saw that and start that at an early age. When you do that at an early age , your already steps ahead from everyone else
I think it may be bc some people can’t drive themselves there or they don’t have money for a gym membership + sleeping in lol
@@jessicameza742 yea that's true
i usually go after school 💅
I want to go to the gym but my dad said that he won't let me go because he doesn't want creepy older men to hit on me 🥲
@@ihatethescammys.loveyn.5979 My mom worries about that too lol
OKAY I LOVE THIS!! as a swimmer this is definitely inspiring
as someone who’s a swimmer and who does morning practice, i have major respect that you do this willingly!! barely watched but already knows this video is gonna be great! also i used to swim for lifetime back in california! good luck!
as a swimmer this is awesome! love your videos keep it up 💖 (don’t forget you can mix lifting and swimming. lots of swimmers do this for equal gain and loss)
I'm a beginner swimmer. I taught myself to swim and it's really a great feeling. But I definitely can relate to having to push myself to go every day or atleast 5x's a week. Thanks for sharing!
Awww! This touched my heart! I’m a club swimmer and HS swimmer. I wake up at 3am to go workout and swim multiple times a day while managing a lifeguard job. It’s hard, but in the end I love it! It pays off. But literally there’s no one my age in the mornings there. So it’s nice not having to feel crammed. Glad you enjoyed it! Keep working! Love you!☀️
3am! That's so early i could never😭
I recommend swimming and weight lifting! I do that. I do weight lifting first and then I do swimming. I’ve been swimming every day for over 6 months and recently added in weight lifting. I noticed a lot more muscle definition and a faster metabolism. As for hunger, yea, I get you. I try drinking more water and I add lemon for electrolytes, and just bringing some small but filling snacks with you. Idk that’s what works for me. Thanks for the video! ❤
oml I was literally thinking about starting to swim at the gym and then you post this??!? what a coincidence it must be a sign. thank you for the vid Annie ☺️
YES. self reflecting is amazing from swimming. I have had real crying session while at swim practice.
im listening to this while i do my business homework - u inspire me so much so imma gRiNd
the things Annie does to make high quality content for us 😫
Heyy !!
I am a swimmer and I know how it feels when you wake up and don't feel like doing anything but i promise after the swim session i feel so good and refreshed .
It's like a part of my life and it hurts my heart that I have not been able to swim for more than a year because of the pandemic .
I wanna go swimming 🥺
It's very hard to not swim at all when you used to swim 4 hours a day 🥺
I hope the pandemic is over ✨
And i can finally reunite with the love of my life which is water and food 😂 swimming makes you hungry but it actually helps me cause i dont like to eat much .
I hope ypu enjoyed swimming ✨
Love your channel 🌻
Lots of Love 💕
I DEFINITELY agree with the fact that swimmers are always hungry, as i am😀😂, but its bc u literally work with EVERY single part of ur body, u burn alot of calories too, it makes ur body much more stronger, its just great, BUT HARD, and for the hair and skin part, that’s totally true, but u just need to take care of it yk, like i’ve doing swimming for 8 years now and my hair is long and my skin is all good ;)
( and the fact that she was on her period and she still did the challenge, like sissssssss u made it omg...❤️😍)
6:45 lmao if u go swimming you're still building muscle, so you'll stil be burning calories to do so.
More resistance from the water as well
Swimming reduces your body temperature. Drink hot water after leaving the pool. It will make sure you don't over eat. Stick to swimming for upper body workout. Hit the gym for lower body. Sticking to free style and Hip Thrust, Squat, Leg press, Hamstring workout gives a balance body. Great for rock climbing or free climbing.
You’re set up for the BRIGHTEST future, Annie. Keep going ❤️ you’re so amazing and who I aspire to be

i love how this vid was kinda like a science project with an experiment and a conclusion! was super fun to watch n I love your dedication :)) definitely gets me motivated to go out and do things
so excited for this video because i do competitive swim so i’m excited to see the results :)
I used to go swimming a lot just because I really enjoy it (gets me to stop thinking for a while) starting to make it a priority again and go at least 3 times a week alone and on the weekends for fun . "Only" doing three times since I also have Taekwondo training 4 days a week every evening. You really encouraged me to start swimming again though , you have a lot of dedication and that's admirable .
annie you look so good!! i can tell al of the work you’ve been putting in the gym is paying off. keep it up❤️❤️
AHHH i swim year round and i have practice everyday 5-8am it’s hard to sustain but i love do it so i continue to go everyday‼️‼️
As a swimmer I can tell you that swim is so difficult but so fun and worth it
As a swimmer who gets up at 6:00 am during the summers I can say its normal to be STARVING and you have to do you swimming for about 4-5 months (this was for me) to start to gain muscle. But it does feel super rewarding! (I used to hardly be able to swim and now I just 5 of the 7 events I saw at my long course state ) so if anybody is thinking about starting I totally recommend! It is super fun
as an ex swimmer, swimming gives you so much time to think like my best ideas came from long sets that lasted up to maybe an hour where i could just let my mind wonder
It's also a good stress reliever. I remember feeling down during school and so I went to practice after that and felt good and relaxed
Hi Annie and thank you fo the video. I just wanted to point something out that my father explained to me. He was always (and still is despite his age) very muscular and fit, much more than younger men. I asked him how he did and he told me: don't make the muscles bigger e.g. by going to the gym, because this is the kind of muscles that look good but are "fake" aka you loose them quickly as soon as you stop training. Make them instead longer by doing other kinds of sports that combine aerobic exercises such as swimming, basketball, tennis and so on. The muscles you build up like that stay longer and are healthier. If you want to add lifting and gym, that's of course fine and healthy. But Don't build up your muscles entirely on weight lifting at the gym. That's gone in a month or two when you stop. Do instead something that increases long lasting your health, even though it takes more to see results.
I'm so glad I found your comment cause I just started weight lifting (for weight gain) but i also wanted to increase my stamina and strength to be able to feel good and not only to look good. I was thinking of starting some sort of sport activity or aerobic training along with gym. And this comment proved to me that i should improvise this. Thanks 🤞
@@thisnotme8319 I'm glad that my dad's advise could help :). Good luck improving your health and your condition.
Swimming just feels so good! it makes my day feel so much better 💗 thanks for posting annie 😊
the video rlly made me want to workout in the morning to start off my day! love ur vids. they are really motivating and encouraging! it's especially important for the current generations.

annie’s videos are so motivational! like i just went swimming and now i want to go again lol
As a swimmer that swims every day we are supposed to eat double the calories just to be able to last 1-3 hours of swimming. After you swim you have to rinse or shower every day.
Swim hunger tip.... I swim every day (meaning 7 days a week and twice on Mondays) from 5AM to 7AM and here something I learned years ago. To trick your body into not being soooo hungry throughout the day, give your starving body (due to the workout) food and water within 15 min of the completion of your workout. This can also be a protein shake plus water. I usually leave a banana on the console to eat as soon as I get into the car. I then have an egg or two once I get home. I have a feeling that if you did not do the Chipotle, you would have had better results with the body fat measurements. Also many of these scales with body fat measurements are not exactly super precise. Keep that in mind.
My average distance is about 2.5-2.75 miles depending on whether I got in the pool on time (talking to the older folks) and on the mix of fin swimming and non fin swimming. I typically do a quarter to half of my swim with fins to ease the stress on my previous non swim related shoulder tear. I am 43 years old and recently retired from the military but got fat during covid.
Since I care about this subject, I have a followup to this.
I also drink about 23.7oz of water (Sams club bottles) per mile while swimming. When I get home, I eat previously air fried turkey slices in a nice romaine lettuce salad with a few olives and ginger dressing. I will then drink 16oz coffee. I am good until the end of my work day after that. If I get hungry before dinner, I snack on roasted no salt sunflower nuts or healthy popcorn.
The more workout you do, the more eating required. You can stay in calorie deficit and still not die of starvation. Pick lean protein and stay away from fast food. My cold turkey slices are a God send for me. Each slice is about a half dollar coin in size and about a quarter inch thick. Get hungry, grab 3 or 4 slices out of the fridge. Go about your day.
Have you lost weight with swimming? I've been making diet changes for a couple of months now and am trying to now find ways to add working out. I've been doing the resistance weight machines but no cardio because I injured my back and find that the impact of jogging puts me out of commission of anything for several days. I've swam the past two days and really enjoyed it. There's a peaceful aspect to it and my back isn't out at the end of it. In fact, my back feels better today than it does most days. I usually avoid working out in the mornings because of the amount of time to get my back warmed up and moving. But I think swimming is something that I could make part of my morning routine. I'd love to know if it will actually help me with not only my health goals but my body weight and appearance goals.
@@charitylmc Wow....let me try to say this clearly. Swimming is an "all over" exerise. Not ony should you lose weight and tone your body all over but it will benefit your heart, lung and mind health. If you are able to keep that after swim hunger in check and the swim coma under control, you will have energy, you will be more alert and feel better during the day. The overall benefit of swimming is one that I have never been able to match.
I use swimming as warmup ana also as a recovery for other exercises too. Swim 30 min before or after a workout or both and you will pump a ton of blood through your achy muscles which will help reduce much of the soreness. Do not forget about water. You lose a great deal of water while swimming but you do not realize it.
Congrats on finding this secret gift of swimming. Many people never find it. Just remember, swimming is perhap the only workout that you can do daily from the time you are born until you die without a huge impact on your joints. It is a gift 🎁. Enjoy it!
@@AbstractDreamz Thank you for such a full response. I greatly appreciate the encouragement. I think the notion of no pain no gain is often a detriment to people (myself included) engaging in exercise activities. Swimming doesn't have that same sore factor (more of a tired muscle than aching like with weightlifting) and if you were to break a sweat, you wouldn't notice because you are already wet. I think it gets stuck in this subgroup then as being "not serious exercise." I followed up my question to you with my health coach and she completely agreed with everything you said. So, thanks, again!
Ive been having si joint pain( back issues) for a long time. Ive tried walking running gym other excercises but nothing has helped it inturn increases my inflammation and back pain. Hopefully swimming can help.
I’m a swimmer and swimming is an amazing workout if you diet and if you don’t it’s good to maintain weight
I swim every morning! For the beauty side I always put a hair mask into my hair while swimming and apply a oil to my skin. Trust me it makes a huge difference. Having a designated swim bag and my stuff laid out the night before helps a lot in the morning!
Also hair clips instead of hair ties. For the hunger: eat breakfast first and have a healthy second breakfast ready for when you get home. I usually make a big breakfast with like eggs and fruits and just split it up.
honestly, if youre going to continue swimming as exercise, I highly recommend investing in some one piece suits (they have less drag) and yes, swimming does make you eat A LOT OF FOOD but it is really good for your body coming from somebody who swims over 22 hours a week.
Your persistence and determination are SO inspiring!
As a person who wakes up at 5 to swim at 6 to 8 because I’m a swimmer I respect her dedication bc sometimes I just want to belly flop and drowned and swimming is NOT EASY so good for her
YESSS ANNIE!!! i love how productive you are : )))) I do swim everyday for 4 hours 2 in the morning and 2 in the night its really fun and its a full body workout!
Your hair looks so much better !! I’m glad with the progress you’ve been making for the past year ☺️ Love you so much !! 💕🥰✨You’re so inspiring :)♡︎
Even though I’ve been swimming for years and if I had to do this challenge, I would be playing in the water instead of swimming and wonder why I woke up at 5am.
this video is seriously so good. i don’t usually comment on videos, expecially when i’m not even done with the video. but the editing is so great and this video is informative, entertaining, and motivational.
Annie is just …. PERFECTION!
I do swimming 6 times a week and it took me a LONG time to get used to but girl you definitely seem to be more dedicated then I have ever been and I literally eat 7 meals a day lol
I love how every time you go and do these challenges I get so encouraged to do it too. I love your videos so much thank you so much!
I am a competitive swimmer and it’s hard but I LOVE IT,it’s my passion and I don’t let the mornings at 4:00 am,the strokes,the other team being better than us,and knowing people are better than me. So you have to NEVER GIVE up
She is so inspirational! Ilysm annie! Loving the vids ❤
Anybody else love her?
I am a swimmer myself, and I learned that swimming really helps you lose weight and helps you gain endurance:)
THE DEDICATION IS IT FOR MEEE😭❤️
Drink water post swim. From my personal experience, one is dehydrated which your body tricks you into thinking you're hungry.
i literally love swimming but I just can't do it early in the morning
😭 I wish i could do it like you
As a swimmer, morning practices are the worst so its awesome that you forced yourself to do this! SWIM IS EXHASTING!
girl i’m on swim team so i have to swim everyday for 2 hours-
I think I want to start swimming myself now. I've been a little demotivated by the gym and doing some swimming every now and then during the week sounds like a lovely thing to make myself happy tbh.
Tips for any new swimmers out there (this is purely based on my personal experience and opinion, you don’t have to agree with me! just do whatever works for u!) :
1. i would swim in the afternoon instead of morning. i can make myself go to practice way more often (stay consistent) and after a hard day of school, practice beats it out of me and i become way more relaxed! also if where you practice is outdoors, the temperature will be warmer at 3 pm rather than 6 am for example. however, i love occasional morning practices to get my morning started or just change up my swimming motivation.
2. swimsuits, caps, etc from the company TYR are super good and stay on well. that’s what my team uses and i have never had any issues with my cap or suit (comp suits will obviously be super tight but that’s just how they are)
3. remember to pace yourself. lots of new swimmers, including me when i was new, think that they have to measure up to the varsity swimmers. do not have the mindset! go slower than everyone else in a practice or race if you need to. when i started swim i couldn’t even swim a 25 without feeling like i was going to drown, but with time and practice i got up there. you can too!
3. everyone on my team does it differently but i would wear a high bun with no stray hairs out for when you wear your cap and put the sides of the cap over your ears. that with your goggles will keep it on super good. again, the caps from TYR are my personal fav. if you can’t put on the cap yourself then ask someone to help you. there plenty of people around that have helped people get capped before and they won’t refuse
4. Use very hydrating shampoos/conditioners/other hair products to try to fix your hair issue. your hair obviously isn’t going to be perfect (because your hair will get wet no matter how well you cap is on) but it will make things much better. also stick to that skincare routine AND SUNSCREEN EVERY DAY to keep that skin good!! body care too. gentle body wash, lotions, shaving creams, etc.
that’s all i can think of right now, i’ll come back if i think of anything else! amazing job to you, annie for WILLINGLY getting into the pool at 6 am!! i would genuinely never get in that early. it takes serious willpower to do this every morning and it will seriously pay off. i would love to see more swim videos!
As a swimmer in training and in team, i also confirm its SO HARD to control hunger. I eat a lot of junk food and a litttlleee healthy food so its hard for me to have the stamina i used to have b4 covid. You did amazing tho!
The fact that u can wake up @ 5am to go swimming and have a lot of motivation is 🤯
i love how this whole video was just a huge motivational pep talk
love the video!! but I advise you to not get too overwhelmed about your body fat %. there's no way your body fat % changed so much in only one week, don't worry about it. :)
You can't lose 6 lbs of muscle in a single week, even if you try really hard. You should get a different scale / have your body composition checked by a professional for more exact numbers.
AHHH OMG "you can't expect different outputs if your inputs remain the same"
ikr she’s so smart to think of that
the results also could've been affected by your period
