Should you sweat when practicing internal martial arts?

Many think that internal martial arts such as Tai Chi should only be practiced very gently and working up a sweat or physically exerting yourself is discouraged.  While practicing very gently may provide some benefit, you can never gain a complete progress in any of the internal martial arts (or any martial art for that matter) by practicing this way.  "Internal" does not mean without effort or work.  Just like anything in life you must put in quality time and effort to get good at it.  Here are some reasons why you need to put some physical effort into practice and also why some may make this mistake.
