They produce a thick fluid consisting of proteins, fats and steroids.\u00a0When this fluid comes in contact with bacteria on the skin\u2019s surface and is broken down, the result is that characteristic &#8220;body odor&#8221;.Perspiration from these glands is mainly emotionally activated, such as when you\u2019re nervous or stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eccrine glands occur over most of your body and open directly onto the surface of your skin. There are about 2 to 4 million of these glands. They secrete water and electrolytes, primarily sodium with a little potassium, calcium, and magnesium.\u00a0This type of sweat does not feed the bacteria on our skin so doesn\u2019t produce a smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary job of these glands is thermo-regulation. When our internal body temperature increases our endocrine system sends a message to these glands to release sweat onto the skin that cools us down as it evaporates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"why-do-we-sweat\">Why Do We Sweat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many reasons why we sweat.\u00a0 A lot of them have nothing to do with working out. We can sweat as a result of emotions like nervousness, anxiety, pain, or stress. Being in a hot room or wearing too many clothes can cause us to get sweaty. We can also sweat when eating, especially when eating hot and spicy foods thanks to the receptors in our mouths that detect heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"is-sweat-the-sign-of-a-good-workout\">Is Sweat The Sign of A Good Workout?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/workout-sweat.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-865\" width=\"390\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/workout-sweat.png 500w, https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/workout-sweat-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If we used sweat as an indicator of a good calorie burn then why doesn\u2019t lying in the sun on a beach help us lose weight? Man, I wish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also we don\u2019t sweat when we are swimming so does that mean swimming isn\u2019t a good workout? Of course not, we don\u2019t need to sweat because our body is being cooled off by the water we are in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also reasons why you might NOT sweat during an intense workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>First off, 2-4 million sweat glands is quite a range.\u00a0 If you are a person with closer to the 4 million number you likely produce a lot more sweat than your workout buddy who has half that amount.<\/li><li>Secondly, If the ambient temperature is cool, your body won\u2019t heat up as much during your workout and won\u2019t be cued to release as much sweat.<\/li><li>And lastly, your fitness level can have an impact on the amount you perspire during a workout but it\u2019s not as straightforward as you might think. On one hand, people with higher fitness levels may have a more efficient cooling system, so it may trigger sweating earlier in preparation for what it knows is to come. On the other hand a fitter person may sweat less at the same level of intensity as someone who is less fit.\u00a0 If their heart is more efficient it won\u2019t have to pump as hard and their body may not heat up as quickly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"other-indicators-of-a-good-workout\">Other Indicators Of A Good Workout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/fitover40.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-866\" width=\"259\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/fitover40.png 940w, https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/fitover40-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/fitover40-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So as you can see sweat is a pretty poor indicator of a good workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s best to focus on a few more reliable indicators like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>your rate of perceived exertion (check out episode 43 for more on that)<\/li><li>an increased heart rate and breathing rate<\/li><li>muscle fatigue<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Even better focus on the benefits of that workout like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>improved strength, mobility and flexibility<\/li><li>increased relaxation &amp; decreased stress response post workout<\/li><li>the sense of accomplishment and improved self confidence from taking the time out of your day to take care of yourself and your body.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no wasted workouts!&nbsp; Every time you add activity into your day you win whether you soak through your t-shirt or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus on how you feel both during and after your workout and you will always reap the rewards &#8211; willpower not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you looking for more tips to keep you motivated and on track to reach your goals, willpower not required?
