Do you sweat a lot?
It's summer time in the Northern Hemisphere and the heatwaves are rolling in!
And if you're like me, the sweat stains are evidence that you're hot!
My granddaddy always said "a lady perspires - a man sweats"! But I figured I'm sweating so much something must be wrong.
That was until I learned that the fitter you are, the more you sweat!
Look around your gym and you'll notice that fitter people start sweating sooner & more than those who don't work out regularly.
It's because their bodies have learned to anticipate the heat that's generated when they get active. Blood is pumped to the surface of the skin more quickly to release heat, while the sweat glands also increase their output.
When sweat evaporates, it cools you down.
So - be grateful for your sweat - it shows your body is efficiently regulating your temperature
