Sweat is not a measure of intensity

"The process of sweating does not require active calorie burning" says Michele Olson, Ph.D. After all, we can sweat standing in the sun or sitting in a hot yoga room. Sweating is the simple process of cooling the body. Monitoring your heart rate or perceived level of exertion is a better indicator of workout intensity

If you, like me, tend to sweat really quickly during a workout, do not use your sweat as a measure of level of intensity. And if you do not sweat that easily, do not be discouraged by your lack of sweat.
