Swimming is an upper body exercise. Biking is probably my favorite of the three but honestly swimming has really grown on me. It might be the single best workout I've done. I've swam 2+ miles in open water, I've never come out of the water and felt sore or tired. It's zero impact and I plan to mix it in until I kick the bucket.

For me, I would run every day if I could, but each run is always a warmup for full leg/core lift day, so legs are shot the next day. And rowing is dull unless out on a yak, so swimming is the only way I can cardio on days after running. Ultimate fav is cardio hiking tho which I do every fri/sat/sun morn
But yea as heavy as I am no one really recommends running anymore due to the impact, which might be what’s going on with these shin splints. Everyone both friends and online influencers are recommending cycling instead
