women getting a sweat on at the gym

I think that if I'm not sweating bullets with a red face by the end of my workout, I didn't work hard enough. With that said, I ALWAYS sweat through my shirts, and drip sweat when doing cardio and weight lifting.0

I SWEAT and get red-face...a towel is a must have for me.0

Well thats reassuring haha, cheers ladies there is nothin more annoying than seein someone with a face plastered with nakeup and perfect hair at the gym! Not what you should be,there for
Well, I'm the annoying one...I don't sweat a lot when I work out even when I push myself and if I go to the gym after work I have my make-up and hair done.0 -
Yeah, I definitely sweat like 100x more than the other girls I see at the gym. I used to feel self-conscious about it, like there was something wrong with my body, but then I realized I was there to actually work out and not look cute then complain guys "were staring." Now I feel like if I don't sweat I didn't work my body hard enough. Sweat power! Lol0

If its cool in the gym or the AC is on I won't sweat a lot. Sometimes the clothes I'm wearing make a difference too.0

I am SO sweaty by the time I leave the gym. I know my weight is a factor, but even at my thinnest & fittest [about 180lbs when I was 20], I would sweat a lot. I wear light clothes at the gym, shorts and thin strappy tanks, but still, I leave covered in sweat. I really like seeing it on my arms and shoulders, though! Makes me feel like I'm working super hard!0

I heard (don't jump on me) that you sweat more the fitter you are. When you are unfit you won't sweat as much.
I heard!
I sweat waaay more now that I'm fitter. My shins drip sweat and they never have before. Even when I'm not working out, I sweat if I get the least bit hot :frown:0 -
I sweat a lot!!! I workout before work and sometimes I see women who worked out... and are able to get dressed for work without washing their hair! wth, i usually look like a drowned rat, and have to wash it so that I'm not totally disgusting! I don't understand... I like the sweat though, it makes me feel like I did something good:)0

I've heard that as your body becomes more efficient, you sweat more. I believe that because I've personally found it to be true. When I started working out a year ago, I didn't sweat very much. Now it pours down my body and I'm completely soaked by the time I'm done.
This is me too! Either I'm working harder or I'm more fit...perhaps both. As others stated, sweat is worn with pride!0 -
I am completely soaked by the end of my workouts (every time!). I just take a towel and don't even let it bother me anymore. I know I put in a hard workout and now so does everybody else. Plus because my clothes are so wet, I have to do a load of laundry as soon as I get home so that means I get some housework done because of it!0

I usually have make-up on too cause I'm coming from work.0 -
You sweat more as you get healthier. It's a very good thing too. There are some people that have medical issues that don't really sweat much but I would say most of the women that you see just aren't working hard enough!0

I heard (don't jump on me) that you sweat more the fitter you are. When you are unfit you won't sweat as much.
I heard!
Idk about that because I sweat like a pig and I am not fit at all. In fact, I'm a ***** in the weight section. But I push myself and do what I can so I guess that counts
I grunt too
I'm just all around kind of gross lol0 -
Women who sweat are gross.
I bet they even fart and poop.0 -
I am SOAKED when I leave the gym.
I like it that way. Sweat is fat crying.0 -
Me too...........I'm usually drenched; can't make it without my towel.......he's my workout buddy. I don't know why, but I've also perspired A LOT when engaing in any activity.0

Sweat more as you get healthier. I haven't heard that one before.0

I think there really is a body chemistry thing. All my life, I have been an unsweaty person. I played soccer for 6 years, softball for 5 years, basketball for 4 years, tennis for 1 year, did foil fencing for 2 years, did trail running, and did yoga for maybe 10 years off and on. And I walked or biked everywhere as my sole means of transit. I also spent at least 7 years having gym memberships (I don't have one right now though). I could be working really hard and still I never would sweat, or if I did, it would be like, the tiniest amount. My post-workout shower was basically ceremonial or to remove mud from my legs. And I am NOT a makeup-in-the-gym type of person, I'm like really into being able to lift heavier than the guy who just used the machine before I did, run faster than the person next to me on the treadmill, super competitive type.
Then, while I was pregnant with my first baby, I spontaneously started sweating like C-R-A-Z-Y, and it never stopped (although it did get less than it was the first month it happened), and now I always sweat when I work out, even if I'm barely working.
What's up with that! I like the sweating better, actually, because it helps cool me when I'm running, and I feel somehow more gratified that I did a "real" workout.0 -
At my wonderful stage of life, I can suddenly break into a drenching sweat when I sitting doing nothing, but yeah, I definitely sweat when I'm exercising. You can look at the floor around the elliptical when I'm done and it looks like it's been raining.
And LL (above) -- I can still remember my father coming out with "Horses sweat, men perspire, and ladies glow". Well, by the time I'm done in the gym I'm "glowing" like a nuclear meltdown!0 -
My exercise motto::: Run like there's nowhere to hide....
No such thing as good makeup or good hair when there is a workout involved! I sweat A LOT!!! Who cares! I'm proud, it shows that I worked hard! ;-)0
