...or do you LOVE soaking your entire shirt during a workout?? Sometimes I'd rather measure my progress in the amount of laundry I have to do each week instead of the pounds dropped :)

    not just you. i dont shower at the gym since its just a few blocks away from my home. i always take an extra tee with me in case the one i wear just gets TOO soaked.

    and yeah i love having to put the old tee in one of those plastic bags my gym has in the locker room

    I get it.

    There's something very satisfying about feeling/seeing the sweat and knowing how hard you've worked. I usually count that by the amount of mascara I'd managed to smear across my face.

    Ha.

    I wish. I just don't sweat that much. Not before, not now. If I get a ring near my neck, I know I've really killed it! Otherwise, not so much.

    My HRM reassures me though. It knows how hard I worked :laugh: :wink:

    I sweat a lot! I had a different sports bra than I normally wear a couple of weeks ago ~ it resulted in just boob sweat rings. NOT CUTE!!!

    In my logical mind, I know that the amount I sweat isn't a great indicator of my calorie burn or the quality of my workout...but, I still FEEL like I've been more productive and kick-@ss when I am totally drenched with sweat!

    My favourite part of my workout is heading into the locker room, and catching my reflection in the full length mirror on my way to the lockers. Lets me see how much sweat I put into that t-shirt, and how hard I worked it.

    Definitely not just you. :)

    I am a firm believer in kicking my booty in the gym; I lift heavy and sprint hard. I never leave the gym without becoming a sweaty mess - but I view my sweat as evidence of a job well done!

    I feel like im the sweatiest girl in the gym when I finish!! all the other girls have their hair done nice and are wearing makeup not dropping a single bead of sweat and then theres me on the rower covered in sweat looking like a feral!! If you still look cute after your workout you didnt work hard enough!!

    Haha I always feel so proud of myself if my top is drenched with sweat, how gross does that sound!

    Don't so much love my super bright red face after a good cardio workout. Seriously, takes an hour to return to normal colour.

    No, I sweat like crazy. I am soaked every time I leave the gym.

    Definitely! Especially when you see the posers who think they've worked out but have barely broken a sweat. I've noticed a few times people will check out their shirts when I walk by after a workout drenched in sweat. I measure my workouts by the sweatiness of my shirts.
