[QUOTE=JibJab;45407851]It's mostly genetic but also partly to do with cardiovascular fitness. The better your circulation system works the better you can regulate your temperature without sweating.
Then again the harder you're working (more weights etc) the more heat you generate.
So sweat = (Amount of work, minus capacity of circulation system to regulate heat) multiplied by genetic tendency to sweat.
I'm a sweaty guy myself but doing hard cardio has reduced the amount I sweat during weight training.[/QUOTE]
agree!! I don't really sweat when not doing cardio...and I sweat even less when I'm getting a better enduarance;)

guys, with training sweat glands produce more sweat. sweat is how the body cools itsself. if you are in shape, you are more efficient at cooling yourself back off, hence you SWEAT MORE.

yeh, exactly, the better shape you're in the more you will sweat.. wish it wasnt so :p
I sweat a lot when I workout - during my 45 minute sessions I consume half a gallon of water, and I see other people not consume any liquid during their workouts!? I can't understand that - but i guess since I keep feeding my body water every few minutes it just keeps sweating.
I read up a bit more on this subject and excessive sweating could also be due to smoking - which I do. ::ducks the flurry of punches:: Yeah i know smokin is baad
i sweat more then anyone i know..soon as i step outside i bust a sweat..no idea why

What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a common disorder which produces a lot of unhappiness. An estimated 2-3% of Americans suffer from excessive sweating of the underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis) or of the palms and soles of the feet (palmoplantar hyperhidrosis). Underarm problems tend to start in late adolescence, while palm and sole sweating often begins earlier, around the age 13 (on the average). Untreated, these problems may continue throughout life.
Sweating is embarrassing, it stains clothes, ruins romance, and complicates business and social interactions. Severe cases can have serious practical consequences as well, making it hard for people who suffer from it to hold a pen, grip a car steering wheel, or shake hands.
What is the cause of hyperhidrosis?
Although neurologic, metabolic, and other systemic diseases can sometimes cause excessive sweating, most cases occur in people who are otherwise healthy. Heat and emotions may trigger hyperhidrosis in some, but many who suffer from hyperhidrosis sweat nearly all the time, regardless of their mood or the weather.
What is the treatment for hyperhidrosis?
Through a systematic evaluation of causes and triggers of excessive sweating, followed by a judicious, stepwise approach to treatment, many people with this annoying disorder can achieve good results and improved quality of life.
The approach to treating hyperhidrosis generally proceeds as follows:
Over-the-counter antiperspirants -- usually tried first because they are readily available. Antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride (for example, Certain-Dri) may be more effective when other antiperspirants have failed
Prescription strength antiperspirants -- those containing aluminum chloride hexahydrate
Iontophoresis -- a device which passes direct electricity through the skin using tap water
Oral medications -- ones called anticholinergics which reduce sweating
Botox (botulinum toxin) -- recently approved in the U.S. by the FDA for treating excessive axillary (underarm) sweating
Surgery -- cervical sympathectomy, as a last resort
Sweating is normal and definitely indicates a healthy lifestyle but excessive sweating is a bit annoying and it ruins your lifestyle...
does cardiovascular fitness have anything to do with how much you sweat? im assuming someone who gets tired from walking up the stairs would sweat more than someone who can run a mile without gasping for air. my resting heart rate is 80 bpm which isnt great and i sweat alot.
