stupid question about exercise...

ok, i just need to ask this. when you work out while carrying twins, do you ever sweat?

i have started back at the gym, finally, and am scared to get myself to sweat. doctor said i shouldn't be out of breath at all.. but i'm not sure what that means, because unless i'm working really hard, i can still breath. she said that if i'm out of breath it will take oxygen from the babies and that's a no no.
