women getting a sweat on at the gym

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.

I SWEAT!!!! Even after just a mile on the treadmill, I am soaked. The woman who works there came up to me last week after my warm-up run and said "wow, that must have been a heck of a workout." I laughed and thought to myself...."if she only knew that was my warm-up." I am one of those that drips even, I mean I get off the treadmill and the bottom of the treadmill is spotted with sweat too!! But..I feel like if I am not sweating like that, I am not working hard enough. Besides...guys seem to think it's cool haha.

My coworker & I work out on lunch. Even if we just go for a walk on a cloudy day in cool temperatures, she has sweat rings. She's a sweater (per se). Now we are doing Body Revolution on our lunch break and while I sweat a bunch, she looks as though she jumped in the pool! I don't know why I don't sweat as badly as she does. I know I put in a lot of effort. Some people are just more efficient at cooling their bodies, I guess!!

I sweat a lot! I get super red in the face with sweat dripping off my nose. My arms sweat and so do my legs. Love it!

Not only do I sweat at the gym (when I do go) but I use my lunch break (half of it anyway) to get in a 2 mile power walk up a steep hill wiping sweat out of my eyes as I go, and return to work with my face bright pink after having practically bathed in the sink in the ladies room before putting on some fresh deodorant and getting back into my office attire. I can't stand those people who do their hair & makeup to go to the gym. Why bother going if you're not going to at least attempt a good workout?

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

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! Lol

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!

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:)

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!

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!

Women who sweat are gross.



I bet they even fart and poop.

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.

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.

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! ;-)
