Okay, I know I am not the only one who doesn't sweat like crazy after an intense workout! I ran 7 miles the other night and I barely even broke a sweat. Am I not drinking enough water? The most I will get is some on my forehead and under my chest. That's it! I kinda want to be a hot sweaty mess LOL! It's kind of sexy ;)

    I don't sweat much either. After an intense ellipical session last night I was still fresh as a daisy. Some people do, some people don't. I'd prefer not to be drenched after a workout. I drink water all day too. I've just never been a sweat-er...if that's a word! :smile:

    I'm pretty much just like you. I'm not a sweaty mess either.

    Well, it makes sense, because women don't sweat... they glow. Or so I am told.

    Me neither! But I notice that when I am having a good workout, my face gets really red and hot, almost like it needs to release some sweat for relief, but it doesn't happen. Anyone else have this??

    Man... I wish I didn't sweat. I am pouring buckets just sitting on a hot-ish day. I'm jealous! :flowerforyou:

    I was basically the same way. Never sweat. I go to a Chiropractor who recommended I take a supplement for thyroid support..(kelp, zinc, iodine, I believe)..so I did. It wasnt until I started taking it that I started sweating. Not sure if there is a link to both, but must be somehow!:)

    I could only wish I was glowing. Then my hair and clothes wouldn't be drenched. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I have no problem with sweating when I workout. I am soaked when I finish.

    I generally do not sweat lifting weights (only some on leg days)
    But turn into the waterworks after about 10-15 minutes of brisk walking on the treadmill

    Keeping body temperature slightly on the low end tends to keep me from sweating, ex. working out at 5 am (body T rises slightly throughout the day), and drinking ice cold water and resting more in between sets (you can't do that with cardio!)

    I sweat and also my face turns bright red....people stared at me before at the gym. I think they thought I was going to have a heart attack or something....very embarrassing.

    I'm not sure that not sweating is a problem or not??

    Same thing happens to my mom! Sometimes she even feels like she may pass out if she gets too hot for too long. I'm not sure what causes this. However, I guess I took after my dad because I sweat like crazy! Just walking to my car after work on a warm day makes me sweat...and if I have an intense workout I'm dripping sweat!

    I sweat and get a red hot flushed face. Sometimes on my long runs though I don't end up with sweat because the breeze and dry air dries it onto me... then I feel grainy and salty but I'll be sweat free!

    I don't.

    Which is really annoying, because they don't run the AC during my muay thai classes. I nearly get heat stroke every single time. :|

    Yes! But I think for me it might be due to not enough water intake. I'm gonna try it for a week, to drink the water amount I need (2.8L) and see if anything changes. If not, ill go to the doctor.
