“This myth of ‘sweating leads to detox or fat loss’ is planted deep in our psyche. Now here’s what happens: when you work out, the core body temperature does get raised and to keep the body temperature at its optimum, the body will sweat.

“As for cholesterol, nothing like weight training and its added advantage of after-burn to bring that LDL, VLDL down and HDL up. Cholesterol is a problem only when the LDL and VLDL along with triglycerides are not being utilized sensibly by the body.
