how do you get comfortable sweating??

I know this sounds pathetic, but it's really not. I love exercising, but I am starting to realize that unless I am sweating really sweating, I am not doing ENOUGH. And I have a hard time with this, I am by no means lazy, but you know how when you work outside and it's 90 degrees, and you're burning up, and you go in and sit in the air for 15 minutes to cool off, I dread the idea of needing to sweat like this every day for my exercise. I am a SAHM so I clean all day, and run errands, and we are a big outdoors family so I dont mind breaking that sweat outside 3 or 4 times a week depending on what we are doing, but I cant make myself get on the treadmill and sweat like that for an hour when I know I am not going outside that day. How do you guys get comfortable with the sweating? Do you drink cold water through your workouts? Exercise naked? Tips please, or is this just my problem?? :huh:

Haha I hate the gym partially for that reason.

I like sweating outside :P

sweating is good for you. my dad always said it gets the poison out. as for whether or not there is scientific evidence for that, i really haven't looked into it. but, it sounds good to me. my TI used to say "pain is weakness leaving the body," which also sounds good, but i'm not too sure about the scientific evidence behind that one either.

I don't really mind sweating, its more that I get really overheated. I usually work out with a fan blowing on me so sweating keeps me really cool.

that is my main issue, right there. I get overheated, if the sweat would actually make me cool, then I would love it, but instead it just makes me feel hotter, and makes my skin itch, that may be because the poisons are coming out, makes sense to me, you drink water to flush your system out, so why not sweat it out too. I did get up this morning at 6 while it was still cool and workout and opened all the windows, and then jumped in the shower, and it was much better!!
