Why do I not sweat?

Do you sweat at all? Some people just don't sweat a lot. I'm ultra gross and sweat a ton. As long as you're not uncomfortable from a lack of sweat, you're probably fine.

What's your heart rate at during the intervals? If it's high and you aren't sweating you should consider going to a doctor. If it's not high...try to run faster?

Perhaps you're one of those people that just doesn't sweat much or at all! I don't think I've ever seen my dad sweat, even on the hottest days of summer after doing yard work. Some people are just like that.

Are you pushing yourself as hard as you can when you do cardio? If you can't push any harder, you're working out hard enough! Invest in a heart rate monitor, it could give you the info you need about exertion since your body obviously isn't!

If you're literally not sweating at all, I would probably get it checked out. But if you are sweating a bit, even a glisten, count yourself lucky, haha. I sweat enough for three people.

Is your heart rate elevated when you train? If your heart rate isn't raised significantly then you're not working at a high enough intensity.

I sweat a lot but I do a lot of high intensity training (zero running). You SHOULD sweat, at least a little, if you're working hard, but your heart rate is more important.

I would try some high intensity interval training once or twice to see if maybe you feel a difference

When I was your age I never sweat either.
Its a blessing, enjoy your youth !

LOL! I was going to say the same thing. We definitely get sweatier as we get older.

It is not a big deal. I do not sweat either( I do the Insanity work out program and run half Marathons), I just get really red. I have talk to Sports specialists and running coaches and they said, some people just don't. As long as you are getting your heart rate up and do not feel unwell you are fine.

I don't sweat much either. Even when I was in Afghanistan where it was 55 degrees celcius lol. My doctor says I'm perfectly healthy though so I don't stress about it. It DOES make me overheat some when I do really high intensity workouts, and my face gets really red pretty quick, especially when I run, it's not pretty :mad: lol

Do not feel like you are alone with no sweating. I do not sweat. I roofed houses in Abilene, Texas in the summer and did not sweat. I would have to take a hose up on the roof to cool off. I turn red as a beet, heart rate goes sky high and if I do not do something to cool down, I will pass out. I did that in a Zumba class one time, too. Scared everyone. I use those bands you put in the freezer around my neck. I have even tried baggies with ice inside my cap when I am hiking. I drink over a gallon of water a day, so water intake has nothing to do with me not sweating.

Just be careful about getting overheated. It can be very dangerous if you push it too far.

Sweating doesn't determine if a person is working out hard or not. A person doesn't have to sweat bullets, to say that they have being working out. The heart determines if you have been working out hard.

Sweat is nothing but your cooling system. If you are working out in a cool place, you will not sweat as much. A lot of people on infomercials sweat a lot, because of the lighting. Men tends to sweat more than women.

Sweat doesn't equal weight loss.

I don't sweat a lot and I workout hard. I don't have step my workouts. Keep up the good work and don't worry about sweating.

At my tri club's spinning class I look like there's a lake under my bike, some others bike at the same intensity and barely have a damp forehead - everybody 's different (and when I was 18 I'd barely sweat at all unless I was exercising in really hot weather)
