Sweaty workouts tend to be more cardio (as you move around so much you break a sweat therefore your heartbeat goes up) which means these might be more targeted towards fat loss rather than muscle training. It is up to you to try both and see what works better for you and your fitness goals<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-2171947343\"><div id=\"thefa-2017384478\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Start living your best life<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Try now<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Isabella C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Not necessarily.  It depends on the workout.  You can still get your heart rate up and not break a sweat.  Walking and yoga are both great workouts, but you might not sweat at all.  And if you&#39;re exercising outside, the airflow from your movement, and any breeze might make it seem like you&#39;re not sweating.  Sometimes, if you&#39;re just starting out with an exercise routine, it might also take some time to start sweating in response &#8211; possibly several workouts.  Keep drinking water to make sure you stay hydrated, and the sweat will come.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ingetraud I.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think it is, but you don&#39;t need to neccessarly do it with hard workouts you don&#39;r like doing. You can easily break a sweat with just dancing in your room, playing sports or doing something else that you find interesting and engaging.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marco U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">No! I do a five minute yoga routine each morning, and there are some days where I don\u2019t sweat. As long as you feel refreshed, I think that makes a great workout \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Same P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Not neccesarily. It reall depends o  thr workout you&#39;re doing. If you are doing cardio, or weight lifting you can expect to sweat, but there are other good workout routines that will help you tone up without as much sweating if any. Ex. Strength Yoga is one that you may not really break a sweat doing, but will help to tone up target areas.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nataniel C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes because if you don\u2019t feel worn out your muscles haven\u2019t really been working or pushed to their limits from where they can get stronger.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ramiro E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think so.  A really challenging work out that takes you out of your comfort zone (and maybe gets you a bit sweaty) is more engaging than one that\u2019s too easy. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Justine F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">No. People sweat glands and fat content are different. Some folks after a workout look like they just took a dive in the ocean, while others who completed the same workout look like they never even finished the warm up. \ud83d\ude0f <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Terrence Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Depends; do you sweat easily? Dometimes it is more about actually working out than thinking about it. A good workout is a workout.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Santina Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Not really. The workout can be very simple without any unrealistic push. It has to be regular, and that can help form a habit, which is a bigger win than breakibg sweat. Slowly the workout can be made more rigorous. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Luis T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I mean if you are sweating that means you are working hard. But you could go to the swimming pool and swim for a workout and their you don\u2019t sweat so it depends.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dean C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I don&#39;t think it is about that, it is more about fulfillment of the plan. It is important to keep going, sweating is not that important. I feel energised just by getting myself to move in the first place<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Randall F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">No, sweating is the body&#39;s mechanism to stay cool. If you&#39;re doing an anaerobic workout and your not overheating then you won&#39;t sweat. Also going for a walk is a great workout and you don&#39;t always sweat on walk. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Johnny U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">No, a good workout is a good conversation between your mind and your body.<br \/>\nIf your heart is beating fast then you are doing cardio. Pay attention to your breath at this point.<br \/>\nStretching is very important after to soothe.<br \/>\nHope this helps, good luck! <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tyler E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends on your reasons for working out. If you&#39;re aiming for a high intensity workout or cardio, sure, but for me a good workout is one that I complete. I don&#39;t feel the need to sweat or even breathe hard so long as I have the accomplishment of doing whatever is within my limits at the time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mathilde Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Not necessarily. Each person is different. I have some friends that sweat while sitting still and others that seem to barely sweat at all. You know better than anyone else if you have pushed your limits or challenged yourself in your exercise. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ethan F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think it depends on the person. Some activity is better than no activity, but for me personally, I know I haven&#39;t pushed myself hard enough if I&#39;m not sweating. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kenzo Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">No I don\u2019t believe so&#8230;.but I myself on the other hand do sweat very easily&#8230; so it isn\u2019t very often that I do a workout and not sweat<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Waltraut O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I actually think you do need to break a sweat to have a good workout. But any movement contributes to your overall health and well-being. I don\u2019t break a sweat walking from the car to walk across a parking lot, but it helps.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coline T.
