    I take a towel. I drip at the gym.

    Today was a cardio day (slept in too late to run outside). I ran 8miles on the treadmill and was leaving little droplets on the belt.
    My towel was soaked by the end.

    My view is if your not sweating your not working out hard enough. Forget about those "I don't sweat when I work out cuz I wore makeup and did my hair to go to the gym" types, when your looking awesome and they're still doing the same lame elliptical they always do, you'll be happy you sweated so much :)

    I don't sweat a lot. It's annoying sometimes because I know I work hard and I feel like you can't tell by looking at me. But in the end what matters is that you know you're working your hardest, I guess :)

    I wear my soaking sweat stained spots with pride. Yes, I'm that red faced, panting girl.

    Could be the clothes? I dont go to the gym but when i go outside I sweat bad in the 90 and above heat so I put money into getting workout bras and clothes that really help hide the sweat and never sleeved clothes till winter.

    I feel like this in my Zumba class! Anytime I work out I sweat like crazy (especially in my face) and I get really red.

    I sweat pretty easily too. And to add to that, I'm rather pale and get a lovely shade of red! At least I know I'm being productive.

    I sweat a lot. Almost too much sometimes. I wear a bandana that starts right at my hairline and one on my right wrist so I can wipe of the sweat from alllllllll over my face and neck and even cleavage. Lol

    I found that when I was at my heaviest, I barely sweated during my workouts (though I would get extremely red). Now, I'm dripping within a few minutes. Not sure why.

    If you're ever feeling self-conscious about it though, you should work out with my mom (who is a serious fitness and weightlifting buff); she sweats so much the ground is soaked within a two-foot radius around her!

    I am drenched in sweat. It was so bad that my hubby bought me an industrial size fan for our basement after seeing me during Insanity workouts. At the gym, the trainer "can tell it was a good workout if you look like you already showered."

    I sweat an incredible amount however i dry almost immediatly after my heart rate goes down. They are sweating ;) its just a matter of the type of clothing they are wearing, how their skin looks when they sweat they could look dry but if u went and touched them im sure youd be surprised lol

    during my teens, i would barely sweat. Track and field, basketball or soccer, it did not matter which sport, i barely sweat at all.

    Now in my 30s, i sweat easily during my bootcamp classes.... i wonder if it is due to age.
