Sweat...

Clark hepls his father lift a generator. It's not a tough job for him
since he's Superman. But his father says: 'Don't break a sweat.'
To break a sweat means to get exhausted, right? Is his father
just joking with his strength?

Hi, 'To break a sweat' means to start to sweat. ie to begin to exert yourself a little. Don't break a sweat' here really means 'Don't try very hard at all'.
