夏说英语新闻晨读 第395期:流汗越多 强度越大?

 本期内容：

How much you sweat doesn't necessarily correlate with the intensity¹ of your workout. It is due to a number of factors, including gender² (men tend to sweat more than women) and age (younger people sweat more than older people) as well as genetics, temperature and humidity.
Don't be misled by the loss of a few pounds after a high-sweat workout. This is simply water weight that you will gain back when you rehydrate and doesn't necessarily mean you've burned lots of calories.
On the flip³ side, don't assume that a low-sweat workout means you aren't burning enough calories. It could be that your sweat evaporates quickly. Or you simply may not sweat much.
