“ Swimming is going to improve range of motion, flexibility and strength of your arms, shoulders and upper back.”

This is especially true for those cyclists out there. There is probably no activity that has less range of motion for the body than cycling. You won’t need the swimming for even more cardio, but it will do absolute wonders for those upper body muscles groups that get notoriously tight for cyclists.

Great podcast with Andrew Huberman. He discusses swimming and its higher calorie burn because of the perfect heat exchange between the water and the body. Dives into to cold plunge too.

Given the date I thought the freedom reference was going to be approximately 587 BCE when it is said, the Israelites left Egypt.

Enjoying reading about the different perspectives on exercise.
