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!

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...
