Break a sweat

Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours

How much should you sweat when you’re working out? Obviously, the answer is different for everyone. Factors like fitness, weight, ambient temperature and genetics play a role. Still, experts agree that sweat is one part of the exercise intensity picture. For example, moderate exercise usually causes you to break into a light sweat, breathe a little faster and strain your muscles a little. Today, challenge yourself to get to the gym. While you're there, push yourself harder by using sweat as one basis of comparison: how long did it take you to drip with perspiration? Are you able to jog along your usual path without breaking a sweat? You may want to up the intensity a bit. _Always consult a physician before starting any exercise routine._

    Did 2 miles on the treadmill today (haven’t been to the gym in ages) and once I turned the darn fans off I was sweating :).

    I went to the most intense spin class on purpose. I can tell when my workouts are the most intense when my socks are sweaty after taking off my spin shoes. This happened today.

    This was so God that this was today’s challenge! I’ve been taking final exams and letting myself off the hook about physical activity just because of the time constraints. But as soon as I get off work at 7 tonight, I’m hitting the elliptical machine until my t-shirt sticks to my back. :)
