Work out: does more sweat = health issue?

[Anonymous]

I've been going to the gym for a bit (a month or so), but for the past week i've noticed that i've started to SWEAT alot!

im sweating when i reach 15mins in when im on the treadmill, and i never used to sweat this much-> im sweating everywhere, on my chest, neck, bum, hands, face, its so gross

is this a good thing or a health issue i need to address?

I hate to come off as rude but if you are out of shape, overweight, or obese you are much more likely to sweat more than what is expected because you will strain and tire your body quicker and excess fat increases this. It also could be if you are wearing heavier or more covering clothing than before. Also If you have started taking any new medications lately it may have sweating as a side effect, I recently started taking a anti-depressant and I sweat in even very cool temperatures because of my medication. Also I suppose even though I think it is unlikely but Hyperhidrosis is a possibility, it is a condition where you sweat in excess (even in cool temperatures). I don't think this is a real concern but I suggest you just consult with your doctor about it.

Agree with Blondie over there...
Sweating is good. You're getting rid of toxins, plus your body is working hard.

No! Excessive sweating can usually be down to excess body fat OR in the very fit it can be due to high thresholds of exercise -meaning a fit person such as an athlete can output more power (for example to run faster) than an unfit person, burning more energy means more heat, more heat more sweat. Of course you could just be slightly overweight and be starting to work a little harder at the gym... which without knowing you i'd say is most likely

1. check room relative humidity first
2. consider that your body is adjusting to internal water dependability - the more dependable the source (re hydration) then the easier it will release it for cooling purposes
3. what you eat/drink in days prior may have an effect, keep a diary
4. you may be making a break through to a higher workout/health plateau - research this

it means your working out hard so it s a good thing! !
as people get older they sweat more during exercise so don't worry your doing great!
if your really worried get with your local doctor but you should be fine

I sweat more when exercising now then I did when I was in worse shape.

I think its your body becoming more efficient at exercising.

Sweating is a good thing it means your body is tiring and working hard the harder you work the more you sweat just remember to hydrate and drink water.

[Blondiee2014]

Sweating is a good thing don't worry the more you sweat the harder your body is working, just remember to drink plenty if water.
