Swimming Vs. Running.... Which is better for you? Which do you prefer? What areas of your body does this workout? I heard swimming is a really good work out. Just really wondering is it cardio? Or?

    I usually swim everyday and have found that it burns more calories than using the treadmill or the bike

    It's an easy choice for me - I hate running and I love swimming. I think swimming works more muscles all around and is less stress on your joints but if you have the option split it between both. Especially now that it is summer... <3 swimming.
