    I'm not a large sweater, (the word sounds funny to me) but when wearing a bandana in the morning when working out my hair is a little damp when I remove my curlers. I sweat in my hair, armpits and ahem. I don't sweat buckets though. Oh yeah, even after being on the treadmill in cardio mode for 40 or 45 mins, I don't have sweat dripping like crazy.

    I think I kinda wish I did after seeing the Insanity and TapouT XT infomercials. I really don't want to sweat buckets but after seeing the infomercials it makes me think they've burned a ton of calories. Leonard Garcia wrings his shirt out in a Tapout XT 2 video.

    Look at the TapouT XT 2 video at 3:03 to see Leonard Garcia wring his shirt out.

    Genteel ladies of the Old South do not sweat or perspire; rather, they are said to "glow." Perhaps your friend glows. :flowerforyou:

    I rarely break a sweat either. The ONLY time I have ever really even had enough sweat to make it wet under my arms was when I took some Thermogenics. I have done p90x, I have done insanity, I have done Tabatas, and Hiit. I wear a heart rate monitor.. I just don't sweat. Weird.

    eta I will feel damp on my forehead, chest, back etc. but I have never been DRIPPING with sweat even after an hour on the elliptical.

    I use to rarely sweat as well, but now that I live in a hot country where the electricity comes on when it wants and I have to work out with no cooling system... boy oh booooy do I sweat! I mean dripping to the floor, drenched never before in my life, salt in my eyes sweat! LOL. And its not like I'm doing anything too hard core, just 30ds at the moment. I would try to get into running but I think people here will look at me funny. "why is this girl running, is someone chasing her?"

    she is very thin naturally, doesn't need to work out...

    Stumbling across this quote and raising an eyebrow in awe... What? Have we learned nothing over the years? So you only need to work out when you are overweight? Hm, k...

    “We know that fitness changes the sweating response,” said Timothy Cable, Ph.D., a professor of exercise physiology at John Moores University in Liverpool, England, who has extensively studied female athletes and how they perspire. As someone becomes more fit, his or her body begins to sweat at a lower body temperature. This is important, because “the body has a critical core temperature,” Dr. Cable said, which occurs at about 104 degrees, after which the brain simply “shuts down the motor cortex.” Unbidden, your legs stop churning and you curl up on the sidewalk until your core temperature drops (or a kind passerby calls 911). Sweating delays the onset of this critical heat buildup by dissipating the excess heat through evaporation. If you start to sweat at a lower temperature and increase your sweating rate as you get hotter during hard exercise, you’re less likely to reach the critical temperature."
