NSV!! I think??!

So, for as long as I can remember, when I decide to exercise (which wasn't much!) I wouldn't sweat. I would just turn as red as a beef steak tomato. Highly embarrassing to me. Well, I decided to push through the embarrassment and keep plugging away at Zumba.....hard. Well, I've been at it for two months, 5-6 days a week. Two classes ago, I felt something drip into my eye. At first I thought the lady in front of me slung her sweat or something! But NO!!!! I couldn't believe it, I was actually sweating!!!! I did it the next class too! So, I did a little online research and found several places where it claims that it all has to do with a better metabolism and such. I feel silly for being so excited about this, but I feel like it's a breakthrough :laugh:

    i'm the same way!!!! i would watch all these people in my kickboxing soaking wet at the end of class, and I would just have what I wiped off my face on my shirt. The past two weeks, I have been dripping. Maybe it's the metabolism, maybe it's that I'm actually hydrated enough to be able to sweat that much, i'm not sure... but either way, i'm thrilled to be sweaty!
