Doing 5-10 minutes of strength training with resistance band gets you sweating HARD
But 15-20 minutes of cardio gets you sweating some

    When you're running or walking there is more wind which dries your sweat.

    Depends on how hard you're working doing either one. I can work up a damn good sweat doing HIIT for 15-20 mins.

    Running my *kitten* off on the treadmill makes me a sweaty mess. If you dont sweat doing cardio, youre not going hard enough... IMO.

    I don't sweat that much during strength training.


    However, 10 minutes into HIIT, I'm a sweaty mess. Takes a little bit less time if I'm just straight running.

    I sweat like a pig when I'm running. I hardly sweat at all when I'm strength training. And I know it isn't because I'm not working hard, my heavy breathing and shaking muscles proves I am!

    Not true. I sweat more during cardio. And why are you even watching me and taking note of how much I sweat? I feel creeped out now.

    I hardly sweat during exercise, but even less so during strength training.
    Though I am only lifting 10kg at the moment. :laugh:

    I sweat way more doing cardio. Maybe you're going too slow?

    I can say I almost always sweat more while doing cardio as opposed to strength training. I mean I deff go hard when Lifting, and even do supersets and minimize the resting in between sets. But nothing beats the sweat I get going from cardio.. Almost like clockwork when I hit the 6 minute mark I break the seal and begin to sweat... For me its the constant movement of the entire body that causes more sweating during cardio

    Honestly if you are sweating "some" after 15-20 minutes of cardio.......Or sweating more from lifting weights......You aren't doing the cardio right.
