    Default How bad do you sweat?

    Ugh, today a man that works at the gym commented on how much I was sweating after my (rather intense) cardio. It was embarrassing! I am definately going to switch to black & less clothing, but I was curious as to how everyone else is with this. Basically I just need to know if I'm normal lol!

    you were doing cardio....after about three songs you should be sweating more than just a mist on your skin...its totally normal....true I can see where it would be embarrassing being said like that ...but you're normal.....he was probaly just trying to come up with something to start a conversation and failed miserably.....its not like he said you smelled..lol

    I guess I'm not normal I hardly ever sweat. Even if I'm outside pushmowing the yard in 100 degree weather, i might have a very fine misty layer but not sweat.

    I have always been like that though.

    Sweating is good.It lets all the toxins out of your body.

    That's good to know! So I guess the more you sweat, the more toxins are released? Sounds good to me!

    I sweat alot. If I'm even just sitting in a room thats normal temp I will start sweating. It sucks I hate it, but whatever. There is stuff you can use to make your pits stop sweating though. Drysol is one, and CertainDry is another. Works like a charm. You can order it offline w/ out a prescription.

    ^^I used to sweat for no reason, I used the CertainDry but it has too many rules lol. I'll have to look into the Drysol. That type of sweating isn't necessarily a problem for me anymore (not sure why, but it just stopped) but it may happen again! Thanks for the advice! What I'm concerned about now is the *pouring* sweat during workouts. It's all over, especially my chest. But apparantly it's nothing to be concerned about, just wear black clothing lol.

    look up ayurveda, and see what's your type is. there're air (vata), fire (pitta), water/earth (kapha). if you have a lot of fire element in you, you sweat the most. are you also really sensitive to heat? depending on your type you can then look up or read some books on what to eat/lifestyle most fitting to your element and being balanced and comfy.

    just had to throw this out there, lol.

    also i heard that when you take the kind of yoga where you seriously sweat, after a while, when you sweat out all the toxins, you stop sweating no matter how hot it is. from my own experience, when i don't practice at a studio for a while and come back, at first i sweat buckets. after 3 weeks practicing 4 day a week, i hardly sweat at all. maybe it's all about effort/conditioning. the easier something becomes...

    When I was a teenager, I had anxiety problems that made me sweat much more than normal. I went to Walgreens and bought CertainDry, and it was awesome. You just put it on every night. After about a week, I was hardly sweating at all. Yes, it's normal to sweat, especially when you're exercising, but if you sweat excessively all the time, try CertainDry. I love it.

    Like Kitana, I hardly ever sweat, so I guess it depends on your body.

    You have a Pitta consitition, with some degree of Kapha constitution followed by some degree of Vata constitution

    I checked out some of those sites on that stuff, and they seam pretty cool.

    I'll update you on how this goes.

    I actually like the feeling of sweating. I am a fire sign though so I am naturally hot. Sweating seems to make me horny.... not a bad thing at all as far as I'm concerned. I find the more I sweat the more energy I have also. I do my cardio in a pool so I don't get the sweat all over effect unless I use my eliptical machine or ride the staionary bike really hard.

    On a related thought, I have probs w/my hands sweating. Could I use this "CertainDry" for this?
    Esp when there are rapid temp changes (ie: dressing room to bathroom to floor in our club are often drastic temp changes), my hands wind up clammy - quite the prob when introducing myself to a custy and he wants to shake my hand - goodbye dance, lol.
    Anyone else have this problem? Ideas?

    I wish I had that problem! As much as I sweat I'd be in the locker room the whole time!

    I am a fire sign too (Leo) so I'm going to check into that a little more...

    I'm sure you could, but as soon as you wash your hands it's gone. When I had the arm pit problem I looked into getting botox. Hands were one of the approved areas listed.

    Don't be embarrassed, you're human... you're suppose to sweat when you work out. And that shows you're doing a good job at it. If you don't want sweat excessively, don't drink caffeine before working out. Caffeine(esp. coffee) makes you sweat alone.
