Sweating is the cooling mechanism of the body and it is not a scorecard to quantify exercise intensity.

Is a soaked T-shirt the badge of a hard workout? Not quite. 💦

Sweating is the body’s natural air-conditioner, its cooling mechanism, and not a scorecard for exercise intensity. How much you sweat depends on the ambient temperature, your acclimatisation to the environment, genetics, hydration and body composition.

And that drop on the weighing scale after a sweaty session? It is largely water weight, not body fat. You may be soaking your T-shirt, but you are not necessarily soaking away the kilos!
