Hmmm, time to go back to the gym?

I picked this little bit up at Dr. Joseph Mercola's blog via Cotton-Pickin' Days. Here is a rather interesting observation about this type of exercise

Another problem MS patients also can have in relation to working out: A painfully heightened sensitivity to heat. Although previous studies on the effects of aerobic exercise on MS patients showed promise, many doctors have been hesitant to prescribe exercise regimens as treatment, thinking it could do more harm than good. Strength training, however, does not increase body temperature like aerobic exercise does, and it focuses on muscle mass, one of the primary targets of MS.

I'm heat intolerant and will sweat out pretty quickly with aerobic type exercise. I still heat up a bit with anaerobic, but I wonder if I could get away with it and not blow a gasket.
