Ok since water sucks away body heat at a much higher rate than air one burns a lot of calories when in the water right? Does this mean that that swimming or other forms of submerged exercise burn more calories with less strain than say biking or jogging? When referring to calories (or energy or whatever) here are we talking about those from whatever it is that you've recently consumed or could one actually reach a level of metabolism where fat is being utilized? (Sorry dunno much about exercise pysiology)
So what if I spent an hour bobbing around in the water, but not necessarily swimming laps, would that use more or less energy than if I went and rode my bike for an hour?
