Swimming’s really good for losing weight, no sweating and less knee pain involved. Wish I had a private pool too, you can definitely tell the public ones are 30% filled with piss.
My private pool would be 70% filled with piss.
20% cum, 10% shit and 100% drinking from it
I don’t blame you

I find it funny that there is an acceptable level or urea in a pool and it’s like 10% lol
This is sort of how everything works, unfortunately! Guaranteeing 0% of something is really hard. Your flour probably has a small percentage of bugs in it, for instance. Urea is a relatively small molecule that I imagine you can find tiny amounts of pretty much anywhere. I would be unsurprised if there was at least one molecule of urea in literally anything you eat!
That said, dear god I hope I’ve never been in a pool that’s 10% urine :(. Those kiddie pools at the water park are probably like 90% urine, though. Sometimes I wonder if by volume adults pee in the pool more than kids, though. I have a suspicion a good chunk of adults think it’s fine or will do it secretly anyway.
It’s not even unfortunate. We’re a lot more robust than we think we are. We have two sets of organs designed to filter shit we consume out of us, and in quantities less than a certain amount, whatever it is isn’t noticeable. Also, chemicals used in public pools are designed to neutralize things like that. If the water isn’t noticeably tinged, you won’t even know the difference.
You definitely sweat when you swim. People need to rehydrate while swimming, even indoors
I would imagine a private pool would be annoyingly small to exercise in, only ever seen one that seemed big enough and that one was way too expensive for any normal person to ever afford. Every other one has been more like for chilling in.
Your metabolic rate can be several times higher in a pool or other body of water than it is on land without any exercise at all. Body heat is lost at a much higher rate when you are submerged in water and your body will burn more fuel to maintain core temperature.
So why isn’t “a long cold bath every day” the trendiest weight loss method??
This is something fighters do when they’re going extreme weight loss before a weight in. I’m addition to dehydrating themselves and eating clean, they have several different cold exposure methods that causes the body to burn more calories.
several different cold exposure methods
“Cough in my face, I need to lose weight!”
Yes, get sick, increase that body temp, increase that thermogenesis , burn those calories. Don’t be weak.
because then they wouldn’t be able to sell weight loss products and gym memberships
Because it would be too difficult to monetize that trend, maybe?
well, it cures ALS at least…
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was wildly successful, raising over $200m and leading to identifying 12 genes that play a critical role in ALS
yes, that is indeed what i was referring to
Swimming is amazing for the elderly as well as the heavily obese. Buoyancy takes all the load off joints/cartilage and significantly reduces wear or arthritic pain while still providing consistent, firm resistance to movement that burns calories.
In Iceland all the public pools are full of old people. Due to geothermal energy, all outdoor pools in Iceland are heated, even in winter. I think it’s a really great public health program honestly.
All you need is rich parents
Or the wherewithal for and availability of a public one
Jokes aside now anon’s gotta make sure to use sunscreen, or he’s only trading in one killer for another.
Indoor pool?
What do you think this is, a serious conversation?
Eh a good diet and acclimating will help with that too.
This is why they say find an activity you enjoy.
30lbs in 2 weeks using this one neat trick.
Ok anon.
Well, they never mentioned they ate anything in those two weeks, just bobbed around in the pool
Anons mom refuse to bring Cheetos to the pool.
I’d argue the most difficult part about losing weight is boredom.
Yeah. You can’t outrun your fork, but you can’t mindlessly snack because you’re bored on a bicycle.
You underestimate my power
consistency son
