]]>Detoxification & better skin
When we sweat, our glands excrete waste products such as heavy metals, alcohol, and harmful chemicals absorbed from the environment. This process can help to unclog pores and leave your skin with a healthy glow, thanks to the natural moisturizing properties of certain chemical compounds found in sweat.
Immune system support
Skin may not be the first organ to come to mind when thinking of the immune system, but it actually plays an essential role in the body’s natural immune response. Sweating triggers the production of a natural antibiotic called dermcidin, which, when excreted to the skin’s surface, acts as a first line of defense against infections.
Stress reduction
Engaging in physical activities that induce sweating triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good hormones. These endorphins alleviate stress, improve mood, and promote relaxation in the short-term and can lead to better sleep quality and increased resilience to stressors in general.

]]>Deep Clean
Starting with a clean palette is the most important step for maintaining healthy, lustrous hair for days at a time, especially when you sweat regularly. When it comes time to wash your hair, focus on massaging the shampoo into your scalp and wash twice to make sure any oil and buildup from hair care products is completely gone.
Plan Accordingly
Schedule workouts like cardio that make you sweat most on the days you plan to wash your hair. On days between washes, stick with activities that aren’t so sweat-inducing, such as yoga or weight training. Take rest days when your hair is freshly washed.
Use The Right Products
For those in-between days where you may sweat a little but your hair doesn’t quite feel ready for a wash, use dry shampoo to help soak up oil and keep your hair looking fresh and clean. Tie your hair back using a silk hair tie or scrunchie, and wear a sweat-absorbing headband during your workout.

]]>Wristbands and Headbands
The 80s called and they said, “sweat-absorbing wrist bands and headbands are totally still cool to use!” After all, they’re very good at serving the specific purpose that they’re made for: absorbing the sweat that comes off your head and rolls down your arms.
Yoga Mat Towels
Whether you’re doing hot yoga or just tend to sweat a lot during regular yoga, yoga mat towels are a product specifically made to help address the yoga sweat problem. They’ll help stop you from slipping and sliding all over your yoga mat during your practice.
Extra Strong Antiperspirant
Did you know that there are antiperspirants made specifically for people who sweat excessively? Some of these are formulated for hyperhidrosis, a condition in which people sweat abnormally more than others, and require a prescription, but others can be bought without, too.

]]>Itsines is best known for her viral BBG program, but she realized that the high intensity level of this routine doesn’t make it accessible to everyone. That’s why she came up with an easy-to-follow program for women of different fitness levels that involves no jumping whatsoever.
“I know that my workouts will now be more accessible to more women who want effective, easy-to-follow workouts that can be done in less than 30 minutes. They can now be done at a lower intensity with no jumping and are easier on your joints,” explained Itsines on Instagram.
Over the course of eight weeks, the famous fitness influencer will share three workouts a week that can be done in 30 minutes or less. By this point, she already dropped several workouts from this program, including a low-impact workout with her mom. They’re all available through her fitness app Sweat, which offers 7-day free trials to all newcomers.

]]>The post Does Your Sweat Smell? Here’s Why appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>Stress
When we get stressed, it’s common to start sweating. When you get anxious, your body activates the hormone cortisol, which makes you sweat. The sweat then gets trapped in your clothes and combines with bacteria, which can lead to an unpleasant smell.
Clothes
Natural fibers like cotton, wool, and linen soak sweat and allow it to evaporate. But synthetic fibers like rayon, polyester, and nylon repel water and sweat, making your sweat smell even worse.
Deodorant
While deodorants are meant to help keep smells away, they can actually make the problem worse. Ingredients in some antiperspirants, deodorants, body sprays, body washes, and lotions make the smell worse. Instead, wash yourself with plain water or use lemon juice diluted with water or apple cider vinegar to inhibit bacteria growth.
(@dove)Medication
Many medications including over-the-counter pain relievers, allergy meds, prescription anti-depressants, ADHD meds, and birth control have increased sweating or body odor as a side effect.
Foods
Sweets, fried foods, baked goods, onions, garlic, and spicy foods can cause your sweat to smell. So try and avoid these foods if you notice your sweat has a bad odor.

]]>“The reality is that many women don’t train using one fitness style,” Itsines shared in a statement. “They want to be able to include other fitness styles, like barre or yoga, alongside their high-intensity and strength workouts. Women want more choice and variety in their workouts with the freedom and power to exercise on their own terms.”
This isn’t the first time the app has offered yoga, as they offered a Body and Mind Yoga (BAM) program with yoga-inspired movements taught by Sjana Elisa. The app now offers more classes led by vinyasa instructors Phyllicia Bonanno and Ania Tippkemper called Yoga with Phyllicia and Yoga with Ania.
Bonanno’s six-week program is great for people of all fitness levels and it only requires a yoga mat. Each week, you’ll complete three classes that are 15-45 minutes long. The program also recommends two optional low-intensity cardio sessions during the week.
Tippkemper’s program has the same format, with a six-week program with three vinyasa classes and two low-intensity cardio workouts each week. The classes total around 30-45 minutes. This program is beginner-friendly and it includes non-traditional poses, for those looking to challenge themselves. In addition to a yoga mat, you’ll need a yoga black and a yoga bolster.
The Barre program is led by Britany Williams and it features elements of ballet and Pilates with high-intensity movements to build strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance. The program is also six-weeks and it offers four classes per week, with each class being 30-45 minutes long.

]]>Sweat Burns Fat
During intense workouts, we sweat more, which makes us think that sweat is involved in the fat-burning process. But, it’s actually just your body’s way of cooling down. Sweating during a workout means you’re working hard to burn calories including fat, and if you notice you weigh less after a tough workout, it’s due to losing water, not sweat.
. . I felt like an honest sweaty selfie was needed since I was covered in it today. Power ignite is a no holds workout that’s quick and intense. And it’s just long enough to fit in during my son’s nap time. . I’m super excited that was the last one of this round of #mbf because I sure had nothing left in my tank when it was over. . Only one more day

Many people think that people who are overweight or out of shape sweat more. It’s actually the opposite, as people who are fit tend to sweat more because their bodies are more efficient at cooling off.
Sweat Has a Bad Smell
Sweat actually doesn’t have a smell, it’s odorless until it mixes with bacteria and fungi on your skin.
⠀ Life is full of unknowns and the unexpected and right now there are a whole lot of unknowns and honestly those are the worst for me. I am a planner, I need all the info, I need to know everything and where things are going, I need to be able to help anyway I can the people I love, so having this unknown of what’s going on with my dad has been eating away at me. Lucky for me just before things got terrible I made a decision. I decided I was done half assing my journey which I was doing all through quarantine and it was time I get back on track. I made a promise to myself that I would go all in for our new program not just workout wise but nutrition wise, get amazing results, and feel like my healthiest self again! 
⠀ I didn’t know 2 weeks ago how important this decision I made was for me and my mental stability. I have gone all in during this program both my workouts and my nutrition and I am feeling amazing and the best I’ve felt in a while actually. The past 5 days have been the hardest days yet in my personal life but because I formed all these healthy habits of eating healthy, working out every day, reading personal development first thing in the morning, learning to love myself and put myself first, I have managed to stay on track towards my goals! 
⠀ Has it been easy, no, but because I formed these healthy habits it has made it 10 times easier for me to stay on track because I have my routine down so I just have been continuing to follow it even in this hard season. I share this all because life is going to throw unknowns at you and the unexpected and I feel it’s important to build strong routines and healthy ways to cope to help you get through those hard times. ⠀ Continued below 
Sweat Releases Toxins
Do you recall someone telling you to workout to release toxins the last time you were hungover or feeling sick? Sweat doesn’t release toxins, it just cools you down.

Sweating during a workout doesn’t mean it was more effective or that you burned more calories. If you want to know if your workouts were effective, look at how you feel before, during, and after exercising.
