sweat more than other people

Postby DevilWrath » Sat Oct 24, 2009 10:07 pm

how come i sweat so much more than other people at the gym? i lift weights for an hour then i do cardio like running on a treadmill and i sweat like hell, after like 20 minutes im like sweating ALL over, my face is lie dripping with sweat. other people only sweat a tiny bit, and some of them are unhealthier than me. and doing cardio after weights is a good idea right?

you got too much water weight that use to be me i use to sweat alot but once the water weight comes off you wont sweat as much, and yes they say if doing weights first then cardio u turn on your fat burning mode but make sure when u do weights its a full body workout to burn more calories and also it can build muscle that way too

I think I sweat a lot more now that I've lost weight...probably varies person to person like everything else. My old trainer used to tease me about my shin sweat. :wink: Just means we're working hard!!

no it might sound weird but still drink water so your hydrated and u need water it the number one fluid for weight loss, dont worry about sweating alot you'll eventually start sweating a little after u lose some more weight just keep doing what your doing and eventually you'll get there.

I don't think water intake is your problem. You risk potentially dehydrating by not getting enough water. Sweat is your body's cooling system. Sweat glands are an autonomic nervous response, not the primary mode of removing water from the body. If you drink too much water, you do not sweat more. You pee more. Additionally, even if you are dehydrated, and out in the hot sun, you will continue to sweat, even though your body does not have as much water as it would like.

Your ability to produce sweat is ingrained. Some people sweat a lot more than others. Hyperhidrosis is an extreme form of this, and can disrupt daily life (treatments include botox, prescription deodorants and anticholinergic medications). This has nothing to do with how much a person drinks, rather how they are wired. Sweat is good and healthy. So enjoy it (: You have a working, healthy autonomic nervous system. I'm with Amatlack -- I love sweating, cos I know I've been working hard, and it means a nice refreshing shower after a workout! Yes!

Water weight is more the result of fluid imbalance in your system, which can be caused by poor diet/exercise.

Yes, cardio after weights is the way to go. And stay hydrated.

I'm sorry but I couldn't disagree with this more. Water weight has nothing to do with how much you sweat. Some people sweat more than others. I have noticed that I used to sweat more than I do now. However, I used to have more body fat so I think that may have to do with it. I've always been a very sweaty person... VERY SWEATY! Again, this is just the way my body works. Going back to the water weight... Every persons body should be about 65% water. Sometimes this figure decreases and increases however you should try to keep your body around this figure regardless of how much weight/fat you have.

Sweat has absolutely nothing to do with excess water in your body. I am with Cassie on this one.

I'm with them, too, for whatever it's worth. I don't sweat more or less depending on how much water weight I'm carrying. I don't sweat any less than when I was 60 lbs heavier, either. I just sweat a lot. It happens.

The diet pills that they make for water weight have nothing to do with sweating.

Sweat is the bodys cooling mechanism. Perhaps at a heavier weight you weren't as conditioned as you are now so your body had to work harder to cool itself down than it does now. Also, body fat acts as insulation. Perhaps at a heavier weight your body had more insulation and had to work harder to cool itself off, thus making you more sweaty then than you are now. Whatever the reason, advising somebody to get rid of water weight is never sound advice as it could lead to dehydration. You're body NEEDS water and your body needs to stay around 65% for optimal functioning. Getting rid of water weight is only going to screw up your system.

Sweating is mainly caused by Thermogenesis, or exposure to heat. You do sweat fluids but also Salts.

So you might from excess sweating, have a slight risk of things like Cramps and Electrolyte imbalance, if you don't temper it, with a moderate Salt intake.

Trying to reduce the problem, by taking things like Diuretics, or products like Taraxtone are not necessarily the answer if you increase dehydration risk.

Yes the excess sweating could also related to subcutaneous fat levels, helping to promote Thermogenesis, in relation to the insulating properites of Fat, so positive alterations in body composition would correct excess sweating, though not completely stem it.

Sweating is healthy, so complete blocking of it, by carpet bombing your skin with associated products, is not ideal. Yes for certain areas, but allowing a little sweating is always a sensible idea.

So as you concluded, don't forget your towel, in fact in some places it's in the rules to have one, for hygeine purposes.
