    embarrassing? That's an accomplishment. You earned that sweat. That's what you're there to do. You should be prideful about it! You exerted that much more effort!

    I sweat the same way. It ends up looking like I showered in my clothes.

    OMG! Me too!

    I don't mind the sweating whilst exercising, it's the continued sweating after I've stopped. It can continue up to an hour after I've finished a run. And that's after a cold shower for fifteen minutes.
    It seems to be getting worse the fitter I'm getting as well.

    Your not the only one.

    I've always been like this. I moved furniture when I was younger, I had to bring two shirts, because first shirt was always soaked.

    After playing hockey, I would have a shower, and like you 15 mins later I will still be sweating.
    Just the way it is.
  • I sweat whenever I do ANYTHING. At shows, I often come dressed in my rags, because once I bring my amp and guitars in, accessories, set them up, settle in, I have sweat like I just ran a few miles. Dead serious. It's miserable sometimes, because I sweat when I'm not supposed to. I can sweat in an air conditioned room! Some of it is because I'm overweight and some of it is because the south is the worst place ever for humidity, lol. I often bring just a cup FULL of ice with me to try and keep my body cool.

    OMG! I sweat profusely! No glistening here. I sweat more than some men, I think. Even when I'm at the skating rink. I'm working just as hard as the other skaters in the session. Yet I'm the only one pouring buckets of sweat. I bring a towel to wipe off (and I usually use my gloves, too, to wipe away the sweat). When I get really working hard, my head even starts to steam. My hair is soaked yet the cold air causes steam to rise from my head. Oh well. Not much I can do about it.

    I also sweat a lot. I just let people assume it's because I'm working harder than they are.

    FYI,
    Just something that I would mention because I wasn't aware.
    Deodorant doesn't last 8 hours with me. I start smelling BO on myself later in the day.

    Then I got explained the difference between deodorant and antiperspirants.
    I know a male friend I sometimes see, who I know uses deodorant because in the evenings he smells. The next time I see him in a private setting, I will let him know about antiperspirants.

    For the men.
    I use an Gilette triple action and love it. It has antiperspirants with deodorant.

    What's the phrase? Sweat is fat crying?

    I sweat when I run, I call it my 'dazzle' it's like the Tw*l*ght vampires but not lame like their glittered up selves.

    I sweat like a freaking pig no matter what I do.. and it's disgusting to me.

    When ever I see my trainer, I'm like a freaking puddle by the end of our session while all the other girls with their trainers are barely spouting anything.... makes me feel like I'm working harder, but still.. :huh:

    Heavy sweater over here as well. Lucked out with the smell tho; I've been told its very 'musky' :P

    It's definitely genetics though. My parents sweat like me. Some people just have more reactive sweat systems I guess!

    I'm a heavy sweater. I have a dozen headbands in my gym bag. If I don't wear one, the sweat runs into my eyes and stings.

    The "clinical protection" types are very good, but they only block perspiration where they're applied. The rest of me still sweats like a farm animal when I work out. ;)

    And you're right-deodorants add a nice smell to you but do not limit perspiration. Anti-perspirants limit or block sweating. Anti-perspirant-deodrants do both.

    I am my father's daughter for sure. I sweat at the drop of a hat. If it's slightly warm and I do something that is possibly exerting (but usually isn't) I start to sweat. Last time I went trying on workout shoes, I was doing a few squats and lunges and such - like a total of 10 - and I was dripping. It's embarrassing when it's doing something like that.

    I'm always drenched after a good workout.

    The only thing that embarrasses me about getting really sweaty in the gym is that crotch sweat spot...not very lady like! :wink:
