Sweating

[ZONE]

Is it good? If so what for? Does it really release toxins from the body?

Whether or not it is good depends on what you're doing. Sweating is your body's way of regulating your body temperature. When you are working out, your body temperature goes up. To combat that, your body starts to sweat to try to lower your body temp. The more hydrated you are, the less you will sweat. If you are working at a real high intensity level, chances are you will sweat a lot, which is normal. If you are doing mild exercise and you are sweating a lot, chances are you are dehydrated. As long as you drink plenty of H2O, you needn't worry about the sweating. And make sure you carry around a hand towel at the gym. You're going to sweat, and most people (myself included) get annoyed when people leave puddles of sweat on benches and machines.

As far as what toxins get released when you sweat, I don't have an answer for that (other than sodium).

This is getting too easy bro! You keep setting yourself up and I can let only so many of these setups go by.

Hey Zone, I see your trying to loose some weight,(your other post) just in case you didn't already know, sweating has nothing to do with loosing weight. It's just the body trying to cool itself like "I are baboon" said.

Yeah I know that it won't help loose weight but Remember hearing years ago that it was good to "sweat out the toxins" and for some reason this just popped into my head the other day while I was doing cardio. So while doing Cardio its best to dress cool?

Thanks.

I try to dress cool when I do cardio. I'll wear DryFit or Coolmax clothes. They are very lightweight and comfortable (kind of pricy though).
