You need to be more consistant with the cardio not just here and there swimming is great as you get resistance from the water but you can add weight the same as I mentioned but they are water proof and they work great. If you do make sure your in a pool not a lake cuz you will tired a lot quicker with the added weight you may need to take them off quickly. -------------- Never be afraid to try something new.

Intruder: sorry i'm replying to your question late i actually just want to get stronger, but i also want to build muscle mass if i can-so i'm doing a bit of weight work at the moment. i'm training my abdominals at the moment mainly, and then also the arm and chest muscels a bit.
