| By Barbara Bourassa Swimming is good exercise, whether you are new to fitness or a practiced marathon runner. And for runners, in particular, swimming helps build muscle in the upper body, according to an article on www.runnersworld.com.Runners who regularly cross train in the pool may also recover from their injuries faster, the article says. "Swimming gives you active recovery, free of the impact forces of running," one expert says. "The hydrostatic pressure and coolness of water promote blood flow, which carries waste products away from sore muscles."You can get a good workout in a pool or in open water. But open water swimming is more challenging, in the way running up hills is harder than running on a flat road, and it burns more calories, the article notes. | | | | |
