Sweating

Don’t sweat about sweating……

    Sweating…I encounter many people who I feel are scared or embarrassed to sweat when exercising. This is totally understandable, as sweating is an involuntary action controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which is basically the part of our nervous system over which we have no control.

Do you need to worry about coconut oil?

      ‘Don’t worry about it’…….……….that’s what I told her.
