Cardio Questions - Do I Need To Sweat To Lose Weight

cardio questions answers Cardio Question:
I want to know if I actually have to sweat during my cardio workout in order to burn fat and lose weight. Most of the time, my workouts consist of very low intensity cardio exercises like walking and I don't really sweat that much at all. Is this high enough intensity for me to drop the pounds or do I need to kick it up a notch and start sweating?

cardio questions answers Cardio Answer:
A good rule of thumb is that when you're doing cardio, you should start sweating within the first 10 minutes of exercising or you're simply not working hard enough. Increase the intensity to a level where you break a good sweat.

If you like walking, then a great option is to walk for 5 minutes and then jog for 5 minutes. During your jog, you should start to sweat and then you can cool down by walking. Do this for 1 week and then increase the time to a 10 minute jog and keep the walk to 5 minutes. Try to build up to 15-20 minutes per jogging session and you will start burning serious calories!
