Hey all since ive joined the gym a month ago, ive been sweating a lot more than i use to when i go out! Am i just being crazy? Or does being more active/fit make you generally sweat more?

if so how are some ways to make you sweat less? i use antipersirant stuff, it doesnt work!

thanks

yeah i noticed lately, that NO anti perspirant works at all.. and i would sweat all the time.. just in my armpit area... i hate it. Its so unprofessional and embarrassing.. and it would always soak through any shirt.

I dont konw y this happens... but i think it may be nerve related, at least for me.. cause its a lot more common for me in public. (the worst time)

do you wear an undershirt? mabye carry a stick of deoderant with you in case it wears off. i dont have the problem.... i dont even really sweat when im working out

I guess one way is to get your body to stop retaining so much water. Drink a lot of water and cut down on your sodium intake. Try it and see if it works.

weird thing is that its only started to happen after ive starting going to the gym?

why?

Do you do Cardio at the gym?

Cardio will train your body to regulate heat better, and at the first indication that it is heating up. What this means is that you will start to sweat at cooler temperatures, and sweat more at comperable temps.

I've been a serious endurance athlete for a few years now, and if the temperature hits around 70F, then NO anti-persperant can stop the sweat from coming. My body thinks I'm working out, and will try to cool down.

This could be the case with you.
