Sweating—particularly when working out—is your body’s natural defence from over-heating. When sweat evaporates from your skin’s surface, it removes excess heat and cools you down. But if you’ve spent a sweltering dry season trying to keep cool and avoid getting sweaty, it’s time to rethink your relationship with sweat as the rains arrive! With cooler weather on the way, it’s time to get your sweat on—but on your own terms. While experts say there’s no relationship between sweat and calories burned, sweating can be a sign that you’re working at a certain intensity during your workout, because your body is generating enough heat that it needs to cool down. So, even if you’re not a fan of getting sweaty, don’t let it put you off getting the benefits of higher intensity exercise because the pluses far outweigh the negatives. Think about the positive feelings you probably experience due to the satisfaction of moving your body and getting closer to reaching your fitness goals. And there’s mo...
