I've been thinking about this recently. In the past when I'm exercising often, I am always soaking wet when I'm done. All that would be dry on my teeshirt was the area over my sports bra where it had soaked up the sweat. And I always wore black pants so people couldn't see how wet my legs were or think I'd peed myself!! (Silly, I know!) 2 weeks ago I started working out again after a long break and I'm fairly out of shape. I don't sweat as much. It takes a good 20 minutes to start, whereas when I was exercising all the time and in better shape, I'd start sweating at 5 minutes. And yesterday at the end of an hour on the elliptical I wasn't very wet at all. I wonder for me if itis tied to how fit I am. That the more fit I am the more intense I work out. I've heard that sweating is the body's way of cooling itself down. I actually like to sweat!

I like to sweat too. I was on the elliptical yesterday working pretty hard and NOT sweating. I was a bit disconcerted until I realized that the elliptical I was on was directly under one of the big air conditioning shutes in my gym. The cool air was drying my sweat faster than I could produce it.
