The Sweat Factor: Why Sweating During a Workout is More Important Than You Think

If you’ve ever finished a tough workout dripping in sweat, you know the undeniable sense of accomplishment it brings. But sweating is more than just a sign of hard work; it’s a critical bodily function with a host of benefits for your health and performance.

No Change in the Comfort Zone

A professional fitness competitor once said to me that “there is no change inside the comfort zone.” Indeed, that is the truth. In fact if you are standing still in a comfort zone then you are actually moving backwards while others are passing you by. In my opinion, the only “comfort zone” that is worthwhile is a good vacation to recharge your batteries for even more action at a higher level.

Game Ready with Infrared Training

I have written a couple of blog articles about the impact of upcoming vacations as motivational events for your workout program. A planned vacation such as a trip to Tulum for the beach or an escape to Aspen for a ski trip can do wonders to motivate you to workout. But it doesn’t have to be a full blown vacation to motivate. It can be a simple weekend college football game that drives you to give your best effort at the gym or studio.

Small Group Infrared Training Session Defined

I have been training clients now for three decades. Since my days of training for bodybuilding competitions I have known from experience that it is always more motivating to train with a partner, or even two training partners. There is no doubt that training with others is more motivating than training alone.

Infrared Workouts and Irisin

To gain an understanding of the exercise hormone let’s first look at how fat is stored and released. We store fat when we eat more calories than we burn. We know that body fat is found inside of white fat cells. The main function of white fat cells is to store fat.

Detox BPA through Infrared Sweat

Every now and then I see an article published by a well known periodical proclaiming that there is no way to detox through sweating. What planet are they from? Surely not Earth, and those writers are certainly not paying attention to the scientific evidence. The question of whether or not sweating is detoxifying has already been answered over and over again through scientific research. The answer to that question, then, is a resounding yes, sweating does release toxins and toxicants from the body. The real question is how should the process of sweating be formalized into therapeutic detoxification protocols.

The Truth About Body Toxins

First of all, let’s clear the air when it comes to the way we throw around the term toxins. Most people use the word toxins to describe all toxic substances. This is wrong. There are two forms of toxic substances, toxins and toxicants. The word “toxin” should only be used in describing natural forms and “toxicant” should be used to describe non-natural sources.

Take Action for Your Health and Fitness

Those who know me well know that I have great respect for the historical figure General Patton. Indeed, I do have a fascination with America’s most successful general. Patton’s army gained the most territory, killed and/or captured the most number of the enemy in the shortest amount of time of any other American general. When I think of Patton I think of results. In fitness, the only way to obtain results is to take action. Patton believed that an army should always be on the attack. He never believed in falling back to regroup, and in his words “I don’t like to pay for the same real estate twice”.

The Importance of Discipline in Fitness and Franchising

It should go without saying that you have to be disciplined if you expect results from your fitness regime. Only YOU can get yourself to the gym on a regular basis. You must find a way to muster the self discipline that it takes to keep yourself going consistently. Make your workout regime a part of your life in the same way that you brush your teeth in the morning. Working out can be fun if you train your mind to become a fitness enthusiast. Training your mind to create a good habit takes discipline.
