If you’re not sweating anywhere, you’re not getting anywhere.

Not only is it a great quote, it’s our topic for the day.

It’s like this. Body fat is burned off in the form of heat. So if you’re working up a sweat, you’re burning off the fat. Remember that the next time you’re working out. It makes me feel better anyway… I often wonder if I’m the only sweater in the gym. Everyone else seems so dry! Then there’s greasy me. Not pretty.

The benefits of a good sweat are this. You improve sleep (that’s me!), relieve symptoms of depression (me again), boost immunity and reduce stress levels.

The perspiration achieved by exercise also boots out toxins and disease from our system. Another bonus is it softens skin and keeps pores clear (I’ve noticed that this month!).

Sweat is simply an indication that our body temperature is rising. All that’s happening is internally we’re burning calories and fat, turning them into energy. Remember what I said yesterday? Fat is just energy we haven’t used.

As I lose the weight, I’ll sweat a little more and in turn I have to remember to really up my water intake. All these things are a good sign that my metabolism is increasing.

So today’s challenge – Sweat like your life depends on it. It kind of does.
