The article from MSN, written by a personal trainer, debunks common myths about sweating during exercise. It explains that sweating is not a direct indicator of how effective a workout is or how many calories are being burned. Instead, sweating is primarily the body's way to regulate temperature.

The article highlights that while sweating can indicate exertion, it doesn't necessarily mean you're working harder or burning more fat than someone who sweats less.
