Sweat easily

    Hi, I dont know if this is the right forum but I figure its a good place to start. In the past few months I have noticed the sweat rolls out of me. Ok obviously in a gym I dont give a damn , Im there to sweat.

    But even in work, it rolls from my forehead and body. Now the work I do is slightly physical to be fair, but nobody else I work with sweats like I do. It only happens if Im actually doing something that causes someone to be slightly 'warmed up'.

    Im just curious, has this any relation to the fact I go running and go to the gym?

    Or could it be the opposite? I smoke and perhaps thats whats causing it? i dont know.

    Is it to do with skin or fitness? Even in the gym when i meet someone they slag me saying "your working hard, its pouring out of ya!!!"
    THanks

    IMO it's nothing to do with skin or fitness or weight, some people just sweat more than others.

    Big thread about this in the last couple of weeks, but can't think of the name off hand. Keep your fingers crossed that someone finds it for ya! Or do a search...

    Definitely some people sweat more than others. There's a theory that says the fitter you are the more you will sweat, as you have become more 'efficient' at sweating - exercising regularly and getting fitter has fine-tuned your response to exercise, so you sweat more easily and efficiently.

    I don't really buy into the 'big guys' sweat more theory either - I'm not particularly big and I break a sweat just walking up the street in mild weather (with a t-shirt on). I look at people wearing jumpers/jackets and wonder how they're not boiling, even on a cool/mild day.

    I don't see how that relates to my post, which, incidentally, I edited before you quoted it.

    Now look above - it's fixed :)

    You could argue that the fitter you are, the less you sweat.

    If two people were walking up a hill, the fitter of the two would find it less work (their heart rate wouldn't be high) therefore their body would not be 'taxed' as much and they would sweat less than the unfit person, who is finding this tough.

    I sweat like a saturated tea bag. The smallest amount of excercise will get me sweating. I'm actually quite fit I think - regular sports and working out etc. Tis just the way I am. Most days after work my shirt needs a wash from the sweat on the pits - and I sit on my arse all day!

    Another sweaty whore here!.

    I'm on a Judo training camp, training Judo from 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday and I'm going through two judo suits a day, plus changes of underwear & rashguards.

    I'm a big bloke (120kgs) and fit and strong as an ox.
