I have a strange question guys…

The thing I hate most about working out is being drenched in sweat. I love the feeling of muscle soreness, but not being wet at the degree of a shower haha.

Is there a direct correlation between a good workout and how much you sweat? 

Can it be effective to build muscles by working out at a slower pace without ending up totally soaked?

I've found that sweating is less correlated with speed or intensity and more with how much you are using your central nervous system (CNS)

Eg. I'm new to pilates, but almost every session leaves me drenched in sweat even though it's not a fast-paced workout -- I think it's because I'm asking my CNS to do *a lot*

Them sessions are some of the best workouts I’ve done.
