SWEAT and cardio. important enough to turn off the fan?

Question:

i understand you must be doing cardio hard enough to make you sweat to be losing wieght, but i personally dont like the hot feeling and get tired quicker, so i have a fan on right in front of me.. does allowing your boyd to sweat more actually burn more calories or will those calories be drankin back with water? im confused.

Answers:
You'll sweat just as much with the fan on as with the fan off. Sweat is not the result of your skin temperature, but rather your inner-body temperature. The fan makes the sweat evaporate faster so it doesn't collect on your skin. You think swimmers don't sweat just because they're in cold water?

Also, sweating does not burn calories because your metabolic rate is slowed to cool you down. When you shiver, your metabolic rate is raised and thus you burn (just a FEW) calories. Don't depend on temperature to do the work for you.

The weight you lose from cardio is all water weight, and you will gain it back when you drink water. Don't count on that to lose weight, either. Just keep working at it, because cardio DOES burn fat. And it's a lot more satisfying to lose fat weight long-term than water weight over the course of a day or so.

Other Answers:
It's ok to have a fan close to you, it doesn't stop the sweting, and you sweting is not going back to your body. You will be fine

what is burning more fat is keeping your heart rate up, not how much you sweat during the work out. If you feel better with the fan then keep it on, just make sure you keep your heart rate up.
