Who just doesn't sweat?
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 ;)
