False. In general, the best exercises for weight loss are those that are weight bearing, such as walking or jogging. Up to 30% less energy is used in weight supported activities such as swimming or cycling. Also, because fat floats, an obese individual is likely to use even less energy while swimming compared to a lean individual.
