Exercise Bike and Sweat

[Splash]

While i wait for my carbon frame to be repaired, i ride my stationary exercise bike at home in front of a large fan.

i know i sweat, but the fan blows it dry straight off my body.

is not allowing the sweat to naturally mature and drop off the body unhealthy and stops weight loss?

Funny.

I think I have naturally (and organically) mature sweat.

Sweat is merely your body's way to cool itself by evaporation. No more.

If you're sweating you are more likely to lose weight as it speaks to a more intense workout, all other things being equal… whether you allow the excess to drip off... or not.

If you position the fan behind you, you'll actually GAIN weight, so be careful. :cool:
