    I have never liked it either, but I like that I am using some of the excess sodium in my diet (I love salty) and I shower right after so it is a temporary yuck.

    Looks like most everyone here likes to sweat. It doesn't bother me but you don't have to sweat to burn calories when exercising. Just do moderate things. In fact you don't NEED to exercise al all to lose weight. Just don't take in more calories than your normal daily activities burn.

    Good luck! :smile:

    If your T-shirt is the same colour before a work out, as it is after one, you're doing it wrong!! lol

    Seriously though, sweat is all part of exercising, I don't think anyone "loves" it but it doesn't bother me.

    I love sweating... :O
    I don't feel like I'm doing well until I'm breaking a good sweat.
    At first that wasn't the case,
    but as I started to lose pounds I associated the loss with the amount of work I put in. (:

    You need to just get over it if you want to be fit. Fit people sweat, period.

    IDK what to tell you to me sweating is the best feeling its so primal and intense. I love when I take my hair out of a pony tail the band is soaked or your bra feels like you ran through a rainstorm even there isnt a cloud in the sky. You are sweating because either its really hot and you are being drenched in the glorious sun, youve had the best schmexy time of you life, or you pushed your limits beyond and are rewarded with little dew drops of love.

    Not much help. Thats what showers are for afterwards.

    I'm actually allergic to my sweat, so when I exercise hard I also get itchy all over - and if I don't shower at the gym I break out in horrible little rashes by the time I'm home. There just has to be a point where you just suck it up for the end goal!

    Gosh I love a good sweat.
    If you think sweat is gross, try scrumming in rugby when it's 80 degrees.....

    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!



    yep! i agree with both of the above!

    I'm with the OP, I hate to sweat. I like the feeling you get when you first come out of the shower. I like feeling clean, with my makeup & hair freshly done. But, sweat is necessary, so I just press through. Then I shower ASAP!

    Sweat during normal regular days is not cool. I hate it.

    BUT...sweat during a workout? They are my temporary, itty bitty badges of honour. I love that slick feeling after a hard workout. It's even better if i have to watch out for sweat on the floor so I don't slip ;) Then I go shower.

    Sweat it. It's cleansing. Keep a towel nearby. use sweatbands like Bondibands (awesome IMO), shower right after. It won't be such a big deal...

    Good luck

    Cardio isn't the only way to lose weight. That is a misconception. Honestly, most people believe they should significantly drop calories and start doing cardio like crazy. This is actually a terrible idea and makes for unhealthy weight loss.

    But back to the point. Just get over it.

    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!

    If that's the case...I'm one of the most highly evolved people EVER! lol

    Me too! It can be below freezing outside and my armpits will still sweat when I walk around.

    Me three. I'd have a big problem if I was that grossed out by sweat.

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

    Swimming was my sport when I was a younger man - and our coach used to yell "Its only pain, men" as we trained.....:bigsmile:

    I am not a fan of sweating either. When I am home, I use a towel to cover the entire seat and back of my stationary bike and I have hand towel to wipe myself. At least that way I am not dripping all over the place. However, its another of your body's ways to rid itself of toxins and thats a good thing.

    I make fun of my sweat. If I don't have a frowning face on the back of my t-shirt, I wonder if I worked hard enough that day!

    Sweat doesn't bother me, probably because I am used to it.

    I shower after and before the gym, so it doesn't hang around for long.
