Calories burned when sweating?

Do you burn more calories when you sweat more then you would doing the same thing and not sweating as much, like for insteads if im mowing the lawn in 30 degrees and dripping sweat do i burn more then i would if i was mowing the lawn in 15 degree weather and not sweating so much?

Well think of this, sweating is only the body's way of cooling off itself. It's like how you can sit outside in 100 degree weather and sweat like crazy but be burning hardly any calories because you are doing nothing. I bet you'd actually burn more calories if you are outside mowing in 15 degree weather, especially if you are cold because then your body is having to burn energy to keep you warm. If by some chance you did burn more calories by mowing while it's hot, it would be so small it would not even be noticeable!
Reply:The difference between the two is marginal. You really wouldn't burn enough calories while sweating to be noticeable.
Reply:The difference is marginal. Unfortunately, the sweat has to come from a hard workout to effectively burn calories.
