Hey everyone, i have a question. If you don't sweat when your working out do you still burn calories?? I have been doing physical therapy and all my exersizes are light. I can't do anything strenuous. I don't sweat when I'm doin the exersizes though. Am I still burning calories??!!!!

Well, I also recently found that the calories you lose in cold temperatures are from the glucose in your blood, which is burned instead of fat in cold. Stick with normal or hot temperatures. It doesn't seem like cold is going to help much. Sorry about so many updates

However, some scientists tend to believe that being in cold temperatures INCREASES your weight.

If you are eating correctly; yes, you probably are still burning calories. However, studies show that the body may lose more calories when it is placed under temperature stimulus, i.e., hot until you sweat or cold until your teeth chatter. I may be able to find more info on this but only if you would like me too; I tend to ramble (LOL). ^_^

I think u still do and i way not to have to loose as many calories is cut ur portions in half and drink A LOT of WATER and just do sit ups and leg lifts and do some walking instead of getting a ride some where if it is close enough ride ur bike or walk then you dont have to do sweating activities and things that will hurt u and u will still loose weight. want more advice email me at sweetie1855@msn.com or im me at lilislander07 on aim!
