Too much sweating - Exercise & Fitness Message Board

I've been working out (both cardio & weights) a lot harder and more consistently. I'm in better shape than I was last year...I've lost weight, more toned and the intensity that I work out at is higher. But I've noticed that when I do cardio I sweat more and a lot more easily than I did before. I've also noticed that I've been sweating a lot more generally. I'll be standing around and people will tell me that I'm sweating like crazy...while they look normal and it's not really that hot.

Is there a correlation?

isn't that a good thing? sweating regulates body tempt and also get's rid of toxins. as long as u watch ur h2O's intake, should b ok, no?

I started strength training and doing cardio in Jan. I hardly ever sweat then but now after my workout my clothes are soaked. I actually feel like I just stepped out of the shower. My trainer says the more you sweat the more conditioned you are.

That's awesome if the more you sweat the more conditioned you are! When I'm on the treadmill, I have sweat dripping from my body...kinda gross, I know. I've always thought of sweating as a good thing!

Thanks Guys

Well, at least I know that sweating is a good thing. When I'm on the treadmill or any kind of cardio, I'm just completely soak (I feel kind of embarrased when I'm at the gym).

But what about just overall sweating...it's like now that I'm "more conditioned", I just sweat more easily overall...anything I can do about that?
