When I was on a high school swim team, I found that the calories burned increased dramatically in colder water (both due to thermogenesis and due to it being possible to work harder). Also, we averaged 65k yards/week.

People need to understand that doing 20-30 minutes on an elliptical, even 7x a week, is not "working your butt off". But that is what people think is "working your butt off". People don't realize how calorically dense our lives our, how sedentary they are, and the actual scale of work necessary to counter that. And once you've spent a decade being sessile, you no longer have the endurance capacity, tendon/ligament strength, or muscles to sustain the work that is needed. So people if they want to do an exercise routine need to become athletes. Athletes train. They don't "exercise". They aren't "active". They train, a word that implies repeated almost seemingly unending repetition. Train, as in having a destination/goal and doing what is necessary to get there.
