A member asked:
I wanted to know when you exercise do you have to sweat to lose weight/gain muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Not everyone sweats at the same rate/volume. Sweating is the body's mechanism to cool off and is not directly related to weight loss and/or muscle gain (although commonly occurs during a good workout!).
