Yes, it's true.  I did in fact pull a muscle in my back trying to "twerk".  Ugh.  Why does no one warn you these things will happen.

So, Friday I was in Kazaxe.  This class is amazing and as it was described to me "like Zumba on crack".  I have never done Zumba nor crack thus unfortunately I can not tell you if this description is at all accurate.  What I can tell you is that it is super addictive.

So, as I look around the room I notice that I am covered in sweat while some of my fellow exercise fiends still have their shiny ponytails and mascara intact.  It is then that I began to wonder.. and I am sorry because it is a little bit gross.. Do some people sweat more than other people?  Ewww I am sorry.  Okay, skip this post if you must but don't you kind of want to know too?

I first hopped over to Popsugar which informed me that if you drink a lot of coffee that you will be prone to sweat more.  According to Popsugar, gender, number of sweat glands, the intensity of your exercise, heat and level of anxiety all factor into whether you are the pretty ponytail, or like me, look like you have just gotten out of a long shower.  Wow.  But wait there's more...

This amount also is determined by how many sweat glands are activated and how much sweat each produces.  The body has somewhere between 2 and 5 million sweat glands.  Women are born with more sweat glands than men but men have more active glands.   In general, men and women whose bodies are accustomed to exercise will start to sweat at lower temperatures than people who are out of shape, most likely because fit bodies run more efficiently.

This is based on research done on the internet, so you know it must be true.  Want to know more? Have questions?  Feel free to comment.  Until then, I'll be doing laundry and getting those gym clothes smelling lovely.
