I used to be an avid runner, but one day I injured my knee....that was 4 years ago, and to this day I still can't run, do the elliptical, do lunges, etc. Even sitting in a chair for a while hurts my knee. I've gotten really flabby and chunky over the past few years because I have given up on exercise. I'm thinking about getting a membership to a gym that has a pool, so that I can start swimming.
If I swim, say, 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week, and do yoga for 50 minutes 5 days a week, will that tone my body and help me to lose weight (in combination with a low-calorie diet)? I'm 5'4", 24 years old, female, and currently weigh 130. My goal weight is 105 and I want to have lost the weight by Thanksgiving.
Correction...I'm 5'3".
