Is

Is
it necessary to sweat when I exercise to lose weight?
The
answer may shock you.
Take a look at the little
"question/follow-up" I posted below. I was up to my old
tricks again. You know, browsing through blogs and posting
dynamite answers. The kind that I should be charging
thousands of dollars for.
Anyway, I won't let it go
to my head any more than it already has.
A person
named Zalak asked the following question at nowloss.com...
"hi
adrian,
whenever i exercise, i dont sweat. still will i b able to lose weight
or my body fat? i mean is it necessary to sweat while exercising?"
Here
was my short "No B.S." answer..
Hey
Zalak,
Jason here.
Great
question. The answer is no. It is NOT necessary to
sweat when you exercise to lose weight. In fact, there are
many people who don't sweat when they exercise. I'm talking
hardly a drop! But many of them get even better results than
those who do.
Here's the main thing that will
determine how fast you lose weight when you work out... the exercise
TYPE. (Actually there is one more... the INTENSITY you
exercise.)
Get this...
From my
research I've found that most of the time people who focus on gaining muscle mass when they exercise don't sweat as much as those who do nothing but
cardio... but they seem to get exponentially greater results.
Everyone
has their own opinion, but I'd place my money on the muscle development
any day. (Of course, I had
to add the "everybody has there own opinion "politically correct" mumbo
jumbo in there" so I don't get kicked off the blog... but truth is -
while everyone may have there own opinion, most are just flat-out
WRONG! Muscle development is king when it comes to losing
weight and keeping it off!)
Hope this
helps,
-Jason
Anyway...
I
hope you found this little post useful. Bottom line is... no, you don't have to sweat when you exercise to lose weight.

P.S.
There is one thing that makes my "blood-boil". Find
out what it is in my next post. (I suspect I'll lose a few of
my subscribers when I drop this bomb")
P.P.S. Would you like a surefire way to lose weight without exercise? Then you should get 5 step fat loss here.
