If you’re chasing sweat in the gym, you need to read this.

It’s confusing AF when you have memes insinuating and straight up telling you that your sweat is a badge of honour. ⁣ ⁣ 👉It makes you wonder if you worked hard enough in your workout because your sweat angel isn’t as good as Cassie’s.⁣ ⁣ 👉You feel cheated if you don’t finish your workout dripping. What a waste of time.⁣ ⁣

How much you sweat is literally your ability to sweat. It has nothing to do a workout being beneficial. ⁣ ⁣ Sweat is to do with your genetics, your core temperature, how much hair you have on your body—there is not a single thing that correlates sweating with losing weight or changing your body.⁣ ⁣ It’s your body’s ability to cool itself off—is vasodilation, dwag.⁣ ⁣ What is a good workout? Being a little bit better than when you walked into the gym across a broad range of what ‘better’ could mean for you.⁣ ⁣ On any given day it could be:⁣ ⚡️Performance: increasing load, volume, capacity, progressing with an exercise.⁣ ⚡️Feeling more energised⁣ ⚡️More mental clarity⁣ ⚡️Less stress⁣ ⚡️Proud⁣ ⁣ It could be a PR on your bench press, it could be the integrity with which you moved, it could be feeling less pain.⁣ ⁣ I love getting sweaty in the gym, but that’s correlated with working hard. Some days my hard work doesn’t make me sweat.⁣ ⁣ If you feel jipped because you could get away with wearing the same shirt tomorrow, what does your ‘better’ actually mean? ⁣ ⁣ Is your better is to be smaller? Or to fix?⁣ ⁣ There’s so much more for you to chase than smaller. When you choose something different you get better every⚡️single⚡️time.⁣ ⁣ At any given time you have the opportunity to choose your ‘better’ from a place of empowerment or disempowerment. You’ll probably still get sweaty, because that’s how your body works, but you can you detach from that as being ‘better’ by giving it a new meaning.⁣ ⁣ Soooo, what’s it gonna be? What’s your better?!
