Do you HAVE to sweat during resistance training?

Question

I do resistance training with Resistance bands...And just about when im finished, i start to sweat a little on my forehead. I can feel my body just starting to get that sweat cool feeling on your skin? But do you have to sweat during resistance training?

Answer 1

no, not necessarily.
during CARDIO work (like running, biking, power walking, elliptical machines...), you should be sweating... if you're not, you definitely aren't working at a hard enough intensity.
however, as you specified, with resistance training, you don't HAVE to be sweating, you may sweat... and that's not something to worry about if you do get sweaty, but you should be more concerned with the fatigue level of your muscles to gage whether or not you are working hard enough, not by how much you've been sweating.
...hope i helped, take care!

Answer 3

you dont exactly have to sweat when doing resistance exercises..you still get a good strenghtening workout

its when you do cardio that you want to sweat that is the whole idea of it that is how you know your heart rate is elevated which is the point of cardio..

Answer 4

there is no direct corelation between sweating and how effective your workout is. so, to answer your question, NO, you DON'T necessarily have to sweat.

Answer 5

you should but why work out if you arent sweating? when you are sweating you are burning calories

Answer 6

i would say so
