Great initiative Chris.

One of the most common myths about exercising is that Excessive sweating during exercise means that you are not fit. In fact, it's just the opposite. Sweating during exercise is a sign of an efficient cooler. While fit people produce more sweat than sedentary folks, they lose less sodium, because more of it is reabsorbed by the body. The result is a more efficient cooler.

So, you should at least be sweating for 60% of your total exercise time.
