A Reader Would Like To Know
I do resistance training with Resistance bands…And just about when im finished, i start to sweat a little on my forehead. I can feel my body just starting to get that sweat cool feeling on your skin? But do you have to sweat during resistance training?

No. It’s not cardio exercise.
Depending on how you’re executing your resistance bands workouts, resistance training builds muscle, tones and/or strengthens. The resistance is a force against the muscles to coax them into doing one of those things, but has absolutely NOTHING to do with respiration, your heart beat, or sweating.
no, not necessarily.
during CARDIO work (like running, biking, power walking, elliptical machines…), you should be sweating… if you’re not, you definitely aren’t working at a hard enough intensity.
however, as you specified, with resistance training, you don’t HAVE to be sweating, you may sweat… and that’s not something to worry about if you do get sweaty, but you should be more concerned with the fatigue level of your muscles to gage whether or not you are working hard enough, not by how much you’ve been sweating.
…hope i helped, take care!
