Busting, a Common br Myth Aboutbr Sweating, and Exercise.br According to Lifehacker, br how much you sweat is not br a reliable indicator of weight loss, .br fitness level or how br hard you are working out.br When your body br gets too hot, br beyond a br temperature br that’s healthy, .br little glands in your skin br secrete droplets of moisture.br Those droplets evaporate and br help lower your body temperature. .br It's just your body's way br of keeping itself cool. .br While exercising, your muscles br generate heat, raising your body's br temperature and causing you to sweat. .br Sweating more during a workout br doesn't mean that you're burning more fat.br It means that your body temperature is high and your sweat glands are trying to cool you down.br Sweating a lot can shed excess water weight.br However, losing water br weight is only temporary. .br Every pound of weight you shed br while working out is equal to br two cups of water, or sweat. .br It will be replenished the next br time you take a drink of water. .br Don't feel like you have to end every workout dripping in sweat to accomplish your fitness goals. .br Don't sweat it.
