sweating?!?

spenco Posts: 76 Joined: 2003/07/24	2004/04/13, 10:54 PM ok... i sweat a lot when im running on the treadmill, full waterworks after 5 mins, you get the picture... my boxers are always soaked after 25 mins or so, not so much my shorts cause theyre made of some special fabric or some crap but is this normal to sweat from there so much? It's annoying and embarrising.

You could just genetically be a sweater, too. But your body is just being very efficient at cooling your core. Now go take a shower, i am sure you smell ripe!:big_smile: -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

They all pull moisture away from skin and keep it dry, and the materal doesn't ever "feel" wet. Kinda expensive, but great to work out it in . I'm a sweater too, the girl complain alot cause I sweat on them somtimes at practice( cheerleading) Try some i know you be hooked im lol......just remember the gym is the place to sweat....no if you sitting at work and you butt starts sweating, then we may have a problem. But as long as you don't stink......who cares. -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn

And yes the "Underarmour" dry fit clothing is one of the best out there. I have about 5 of the t shirts.

You are supposed to sweat at the gym. That would be why it is called a WORKout. All those non-sweaters need to be chased around the track until they break a sweat. -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

Be proud to sweat when you work, and another bonus, it shows those muscles off in greater light. And as far as the smell, for me it doesn't come around unless it I have to wait a bit to get a shower (when your out in the feild or doing training you don't always get a chance to shower right afterwerd). -------------- A determined mind is the best weapon in any situation, a strong body is the road to victory.

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2004/10/08, 12:50 PM Okay - here is a new question about sweating - does anyone find that when they eat clean, they sweat more easily? Lately I eat breakfast and after breakfast I have to change into a tanktop because I am overheating. I break a sweat vacuuming the house, almost anything causes me to sweat. I am also doing a system detox program (herbs and fiber) which may contribute...but I was wondering if anyone else finds they are sweating after meals more???? -------------- "Achieving worthwhile goals requires a consistent investment of time and effort on your part....The rewards you receive will be in direct proportion to the consistent effort you put forth."

I always thought it was because I still smoke (and still trying to quit)But it doesn't bother me I know I have met my goals for the day, nothing feels better than that.:dumbbell::dumbbell:
