Hey lovely,

Thanks for reaching out! :)

I wouldn’t say it has the same effect. Because you engage your thigh muscles heavily when walking in the water.

If swimming doesn’t work for you, you can just practice power walking on a flat surface and aim for 10 000 steps for great results. :)

If you have any further questions feel free to contact info@rachaelattard.com and we’ll gladly help! :) xx

Love,
Ana

Hi Hun,
just wondering is walking in the water the same as swimming, as im not a great swimmer and hate getting my hair wet all the time so i wondered if 40 mins or so walking would increase my leg muscles ?

Thanks

In reply to Hayley Phillips. Hi lovely, Ben is away getting ready to compete in the Commonwealth Games so I can't ask him at the moment! I assume it's because it increases your metabolism by such a significant amount, that when you stop swimming, your metabolism drops and you can gain weight really quickly. This happens to a lot of professional swimmers, especially women xx
