sweat.... eww

No help here - I love getting a good sweat on! I guess I always have though :laugh:

Agreed! If I'm not sweating I'm not working hard enough!

Mee too!! I love especially when I sweat in odd places like my wrist and elboe creases. I know that .. it's fat melting away

Hi there! I don't know if this is weird, but I think sweat is one of the grossest things ever!! And that's one
thing that snags me up with working out and a reason I hate gyms! I know cardio is big for losing weight
and cardio equals sweating! How do you guys push through it, or what do you tell yourself to get through it?

haha i dunno - maybe im weird but i love when i break out a sweat at the gym, I tend to wear a thick hoodie and do 10 ish minutes on the stepclimber to get a sweat going before i start lifting, I almost feel like I cant get a good workout unless my shirt is sticking to me lol.

My husband has told mer he loves it when I'm sweaty. It can be attractive in and of itself. Though getting used to the feel of it can be an adjustment.

I actually have difficulty sweating, if that makes any sense. I can sit in a sauna for 10 minutes without a bead of sweat, but some people, it pours out of them like rain. I actually enjoy sweating while working out, it makes me feel like I am working out hard enough to break a sweat. I guess a way to get over it, is just to think of it as "clean" water and your body needing it too cool down, because if you're working out hard enough, you will get hot, and you will need a cool down, that's when sweat is a blessing

If I can't wring out my skivies after the gym, I've been slackin'.

Also i have heard people who sweat a lot are more fully evolved because they have a more efficient heating/cooling system. So be proud of your sweat!

In that case, meet the next stage of human evolution.

Unless you sweat as if you hyperhydrosis!

Sweat from a good workout is so sexy.

Pain is just weakness leaving the body. Sweat is the lubrication

This Isn't Sweat.

IT'S LIQUID AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!!! If I don't leave a little puddle of Awesome on the gym floor it means I didn't work hard enough. Granted, I then clean up the Awesome left behind with some spray and a towel so the next person doesn't have to.

I only like MY sweat! It tastes like cherry juice.

I fell in love with sweat.

You could just walk, most people underestimate the power of walking. Compared to doing nothing walking is awesome. Compared to a workout where you really sweat, walking isn't so awesome. Your going to have to walk a lot of hours a day to burn the calories of one good hour of exercise intense enough to get a good sweat on.

Most people still sweat even in cold environments when they do intense exercise.

I's your choice.

If I was a car, I'd need extra antifreeze. About 16-17 years ago, I developed a higher-than-normal tolerance for the cold. I was born, raised, and have always lived in Virginia, but people ask whether I'm from Minnesota or Canada because how I dress. At home, I wear shorts, sandals, and an A-shirt year-round. Outside the house I wear short sleeves everywhere I can get away with it (e.g. will wear long for job interviews, etc.). I haven't worn a coat in more than a year and usually only wear one 2-3 times a year.
Conversely, I get hot very easily and will sweat at the drop of a dime. I've heard stories of people losing weight and starting to get cold. I've lost 15% of my body and I'm still the same. Sweating makes me miserable in general with one exception: working it! I actually get a kick out of sweating when it's done on purpose.
Just last week I did an experiment. I did a 63min, 1,000 cals burn on the treadmill, but I measured water intake, etc. In summary, I drank about 2# of water (~a quart), but weighed 4# less after the workout. In other words, I lost ~6# of water just by walking on the treadmill! :noway: Mind you, my "walking" workout is as intense as many people's running workout (3-4 mph; 6-15% incline). I actually giggle a little to see how I've completed soaked my shirt, sweatbands, and the top half of my shorts! It's my badge of honor!
:sad: :sad: :sad: == my fat crying buckets

I love to sweat. It makes me feel alive.

I really don't sweat, I guess my body's lacking something.

I like to think of how the sweat flushes out all the junk lurking in my pores, from the inside... And then when I rinse all that away in the shower, I am fresh as a daisy!

Otherwise that bacteria and who-knows-what would just settle in and no amount of surface scrubbing would ever really reach it!
