    I've always sweated more than I thought I should but lately, it's like I sweat even in yoga and pilates... but other people do too... I definitely sweat in cardio sessions though; especially cycle... I usually have a drenched shirt when I either run hard or do a cycle class that completely kicked my butt.

    I drink a lot of fluids though, so that might be part of it, but I think some people are just geared to sweat more than others. I'm definitely one of those people.

    yeah same here!! I just was thinking about this the past week cause I always see everyone else not sweating as much as I do in the same amount of time! But i do love it cause it shows me how hard I am working! << agree with that!!

    I actually work at a gym, and there are a few members that say they won't leave until their shirt is soaked all the way through!! < seriously!! which is awesome!!

    I sweat so much I am dreanched when I am done. I wear the wicking material shirts and they are usually dreanched all the way down the front and half way or more down the back. It drives my daughter nuts.....she says "Mom, this is why I wear white shirts to work out in. You did bring a different shirt, right???"

    When I don't drink enough water, I don't sweat as much. Yeah, I get odd looks at the gym, but I know I did a lot and I feel good!!

    I am with everyone else that says the sweat buckets. I actually cracked open my head from slipping in my sweat at the gym. Talk about totally embarrassing!!!!!!! I believe I started sweating more after I lost some weight, started getting healthy and drinking more water.

    I'm the same! I wish I had an answer for it.
    I never used to sweat like... really at all and I drank a ton of water then, too. My answer may be just because my body's still changing since having my daughter but running around the grocery store I break a sweat. It's gross.

    I sweat like crazy when doing Zumba or on the elliptical. I drink heaps and heaps of water too.
    I always make sure I have a towel with me when I go to the gym.

    I actually read about this in a Cracked article (I know, I know). It said that as you become more fit, your body is able to handle more pressure and work harder and in return, your body produces more heat and in a shorter amount of time. So, you basically start sweating sooner and more... something like that. Here's the link they used as their source (I should probably go read it now. c: ).

    I live in Florida--I walk outside for 2 seconds and need a shower. :sick:

    But in all seriousness, yeah, I sweat a lot...I noticed a few people brought up the fact that the more water they drink, the more they sweat? I've noticed when I work out indoors, in my air conditioned living room and sunroom, that I sweat more than ever, and I think it may be that...I was never a water drinker growing up, but I am now, and I sweat even more now. I just tell myself I'm sweating fat off, haha.:wink:

    I can tell how hard ive pushed myself by how far down my shirt my sweat is! Tempted to market a new t-shirt, with like the front of a measuring jug on the front, with words at certain points:

    -
    -
    -
    -- Nice start
    -
    -
    -Getting there!
    -
    -
    -
    - Now you're talking!


    Hard cardio gets me sweating, sure, but nothing makes my head just open like a tap like holding a plank does. Just, from nowhere, drip drip drip drip!

    Why is their such a negative view of sweat? So what if you're drenched in it. You're working out.

    The last 10K in August was so humid that my shirt was drenched before we even started. I could have jumped in a pond and been more dry than when I was done with that race. socks, shorts, shoes. Even my Camelback needed a good ringing after that.

    Well I understand it's a positive sign, but it becomes a real issue for me. I have to carry extra workout clothes to wear AFTER I work out, or otherwise I'll soak right through my silk blouses for work. I sweat so much that I start shivering in the cold and get severe chills. I will be bundled up in a huge down parka, sweating all down my back, and shivering like mad

    I sweat some but I WANT to be sweaty like I see some people at the gym! I want my shirt to look wet when Im done and the most I get is the back of my hair gets wet and a few drips down my forehead.
