[Closed] Sweat

Some people sweat more then others. Its just how it is.

Maybe wear different clothing, something that keeps you cooler and wicks away sweat? Cold drinks will help cool you as well, and stop you sweating as much.

I have a feeling that the general consensus will be that this thread needs pics.

I guess when you say "Pole Fitness" it isn't full of plumbers.

Pole dancing classes you say?
Maybe it's just the bodies form of natural lubrication for the other half to take advantage of. 😯

Trolling, Shirley?

I can just move and sweat my ass off, I went to the doctors and they said not to worry. Not that they know anything......

I didn't used to have this, my father has it too so for me it's a family thing but it can be thyroid related.

Ohh and i'm quite fit and not overweight!

You get hot.
You sweat.
Everything seems to be working perfectly.

You could always use anti perspirant and keep it locked in the body, lovely!

Trolling, Shirley?

Some people are just sweatier than others - embrace your sweatiness! Although interestingly I find that when I go to hot places, after a couple of days I stop sweating quite so much. Maybe due to drinking less fluid.

I assumed the OP was from Poland. Ahem.

I'm male, 38, 5'10" and 11 stone, and if sweating was a recognised sport I'd be an Olympic contender. The reason I'm the size I am despite an unhealthy appetite for real ale and chip butties is, far as I can tell, that I have a rapid metabolism. I'm not exceptionally fit or unfit, but I always seem to be running 'faster' than most people.

For an extreme example of this, see Lee Evans. I bet that boy can eat for his country.

As an aside, when I was growing up it was primarily my hands. They poured. Saying prayers in assembly, by the end of the lord's prayer it was running off my elbows.

Cue lots of abuse from other kids, childhood trauma, complex, etc etc, aside from the practical impact (try writing an essay with permanently wet hands; or, try taking up rock climbing as a hobby). Got taken to the doctor who said "he'll grow out of it." And I largely did, what he failed to mention was it'd take about 30 years.

As another aside,

I think this is the first time I've openly thrown this into discussion in public, so I guess it's not just the physical effects that take 30 years to deal with.

Meh. As you were.

you lot make me laugh tis not a troll honest, if i wanted to troll I would say in response to Realman that I could wear some biking gear I suppose but that would cover too much flesh, you have to be pretty bare in order to stick to the pole. However, because I sweat so much I tend to slip off or down a fair bit. 😛

No Ian, no photos sorry..... Realman, I take loads of drink i.e. like a pint and a half and drink it all, no one else even usually takes anything!

Harry - I don't believe there are any plumbers sorry.

Flatfish, I think you are wrong.

I dont like being sweaty in that sort of situation, it feels normal in a gym when you are running your arse off but doing pole it doesnt seem right so I may just have to deodorise my whole body in future if there is nothing else that can be done. I did hear years ago that you could have your sweat glands removed?

Do any of the other girlies do the bright red face trick instead of sweating?

I did hear years ago that you could have your sweat glands removed?

There is a medical condition called hyperhydrosis, which can be treated surgically by cutting or clamping a nerve in your chest; from memory it's the T3 or T4 nerve (or maybe it's between T3 and T4 ribs or something). It's a while since I looked into it.

Oooh I want to have an aside...

Some young 19 yr old girl (friend of a friend on facebook) has just started advertising her own mobile pole dancing lesson business...... she's going to get one hell of a surprise next Tuesday!

Thus,

Stop doing pole.

Next problem.....

Where's someone that comes along and suggests that this thread is useless without pictures when you need them..?

sounds like you are sweating from tension.
you will get used to it.

househusband:

Also where is the person who posts after only reading the OP's post....oh there they are! 😉

Tension? Soo-you mean like when you strain when you do weights or tense stressed out tension?
TSY-you will be very disappointed if you go along I think. However, male pole dancers are truly awesome to watch, so strong. Google badazz pole dancing if you fancy giving it a go & want some inspiration.
Cougar-might be a bit extreme just to help me out with pole dancing on reflection!

Well, yeah. Having just read the link I posted, I've changed my mind myself.

You can get heavy duty anti-perspirants, might be the answer. Driclor and suchlike.

This sounds just the ticket as I'm not riding and need a challenge. 😉

Emma - where can I purchase some 'suitable attire' [s]as well as net curtains[/s]?

I'm sorry but don't know the answer to your question. 😳

I never used to sweat very much at all. Now, the fitter I get the more I sweat (I also drink more water). Its an efficient way of cooling the body, just shows your body is used to exercise. climbing chalk will stop you slipping off the pole.

Cinnamon, give it a go it's wicked fun and a bit different. Just wear hot pant top type shorts, a bra you won't fall out of for inversions (upside downsies) and a vest top.Google pole classes, you'll soon find something in your area.
Meehaja we have chalk, my friend wanted to cover me in it tonight let alone the pole!!

You need one of those 118 118 outfits complete with wrist and head sweat bands! You could even buy a comedy tash to mop up the excess facial sweat. That's what i'm talkin bout willis!

I think I might sweat a bit too much for pole dancing classes, they wouldn't want my clammy mitts on their pole.
Some would say I sweat like a fat b***h in a cake shop..... probably fairer to say I'd sweat like a single bloke at a pole dancing class!

So ... Yeti ... you booked in for Tuesday?

What does a guy wear then? 😉

C_G she's a mobile pole dance instructor... she's coming to me!
To make her feel more comfortable I was thinking of wearing full drag?

I sweat a lot. I only have to look at a bike and I start sweating. I'm skinny and pretty fit. Just one of those things I guess. It's annoying certainly, especially when I'm in work and the temperature just gets a little bit high and out it all comes. I guess it might have got worse the fitter I've got. Dunno.

You're welcome to pictures of me sweating if you want.

Yeti - I'm 😯

OK, avoid lycra at all costs. Bin liner?

Sounds more like singletracksordidworld to me. 🙄

[s]Crosses TSY off daughter's suitor list[/s]

😆 But then you crossed that out too!

I'm not really taking private pole dancing lessons, but I sure as hell would not let any daughter of mine start up such a business... I mean just what sort of deviants would think of booking sessions? 😳

There's a possibility that there's now a psycho-somatic element to this. You worry that you sweat alot in this pole class, which causes anxiety and you now associate that pole class with sweating alot...therfore when you go into this class you don't have to actually DO very much before you're sweating like a...well...you know...

Of course it could just be that you sweat more than most. I'm told that it's something to do with having a very healthy lymphatic system...but that could be complete rubbish.

I can only wear black or white t-shirts/shirts. As my underarms get ridiculous. Which is a shame as i'm freaking gorgeous otherwise obviously 😆

I'd hope so, if you're wandering about with just a t-shirt on.

I wouldn't say it was for deviants, she probably wouldnt go to blokes who she didnt know, our instructor does private sessions but not at home but she does get to know the people first I guess, but like I say it's always at the studio. Big money to be made in teaching pole at the moment, my instructor makes a frigging killing! One of the girls who works at class brings her daughter, she's 16 an been doing it two years and she's amazing, cinnamon you should take your daughter, she could double death lay (that's a move) with TSY!

Think I'm just going to have to accept that I am just a sweaty Betty from now on then,'perhaps I should wear sure for men!! That's bound to be stronger than the womens stuff no?

Then you'd smell like a man!

Went to spinning yesterday, the puddle under the bike at the end of the class was far worse than usual - and far worse than under my relatively unfit mate's bike... Perhaps you're just trying/working harder than the others in the class?

I don't think so, we all have a fair go. Think I'm just sweaty 🙁
Just so you don't all think I'm totally gross I'm not always sweaty, it's only exercise related!!! And it doesn't smell either, ever which I've been told is a bit weird? Sorry, too much information probably 🙂

If you're clean when you start sweat doesn't smell. It gets smelly when you don't wash it off!

Sorry, too much information probably

Not enough actually.

i'm one of those people who seems to have too much blood in my body, always hot, cant stand being in the sun too long as it just makes me angry, any biting insect can spot me a mile off and heads straight for me... and as a result my body works a million times harder to cool me down when on the bike etc... so.... very sweaty!

but think of it this way... if you're attacked and stabbed, you'll survive for longer. my other half appears to have no blood, always cold, never gets bitten, never gets sweaty... but at least she'll die before me in an accident and i'll have the last laugh!!!

In 'the escape artist' Matt Seaton talks about becoming much sweatier as he went from 'quite fit' to 'really fit'. That's my excuse and I am sticking to it!

Having been both very fit and currently very unfit, I can categorically state that the amount you sweat has nothing to do with fitness - I always sweat lots (plus I'm almost always hotter than everyone else - eg still happy enough in t-shirts when everyone else is wearing jackets).

Sweat doesn't smell - or at least it doesn't until bacteria start to make it smell which takes a few hours so wash it off before then and you'll be fine.

I did pole dancing once, don't think I sweated that much, was hard work though.

[i]that would cover too much flesh, you have to be pretty bare in order to stick to the pole.[/i]

[b]THIS THREAD IS USELESS WITHOUT PICS[/b] 👿

I used to have problems with excessive sweating since my teenage years and it was particularly bad last year when I was going through a bad patch of anxiety and depression 🙁

However, a couple of months ago there was a thread on here about sweating and someone recommended anhydrol forte, which I have tried and it certainly helps with my sweaty armpits.

I think that I tend to "run" on the hot side and I need a lot of air going past me to cool me down. The worst situations are when I have been running or walking fast and then enter an area where there is little breeze and I am unable to loosen my clothing to allow the sweat to evaporate. Thankfully I do not have to wear a suit anymore, but that may well change soon.

I sweat plenty when exercising. I almost never need the loo on rides, despite drinking more than my mates.

I guess it's to do with your physiology and metabolism. I know that different metabolic pathways use up fat or glycogen differently and produce different amounts of CO2 and other waste products - so I wonder if they therefore produce different amounts of heat too?

I've always wanted to do a pole class, they run them at the local dance centre here, but i can't fit another sport into 7days of the week.

Re the sweaty question, i've been thinking about this over the summer. I'm now pretty fit as a result of road riding and running, and i sweat a lot more now than when i thought i was fit.

In my early 20s (before i took up mtb'ing) i was a gym bunny, and thought an hours cardio plus weights meant i was fit. I didn't sweat a bit on the treadmill in the gym, etc. When i started riding, i realised i wasn't outdoors fit, or very fit at all! Over the years, I've been training harder, and I sweat a lot more. An hours run can leave me soaked from sweat - especially in the summer - and during a 45min spinning class, the sweat will run down my arms because I'm working hard. There's other women in the class who are totally dry during and after the class. I think its to do with how fit you are - the fitter you are, the more efficient your body is and the more you sweat to cool your core down. Or at least, that seems to be my experience of it anyway.

Either that or at age 30, I'm starting the menopause!

If you are stressed/anxious, that can also make you sweat more. Plus, during the time of the month, our core temp is hotter than at other times of the month, so you'll probably sweat more then.

I think a lot of women just don't work very hard at sport, and therefore don't sweat.

DGOAB - that just sounds like you didn't realise what training hard was previously...

If you work harder, you make more heat, so you need to sweat more. The fitter you are, the harder you'll work, so more sweat - no?

When I was really fit (2 years ago now) and cycling or spinning nearly every day, the amount of sweat I'd produce, especially in the spinning classes, could be embarrassing!

[edit] I understand Botox can be used to reduce sweating, unsure of the science behind it though!

I imagine this is the key

necessarily what you would call gym bunnies, some of them are quite unfit, either quite large or just not interested in cardio exercise and they do not get the same problem

I imagine they just arent working as hard as you and also might have less muscle mass so wont be able to generate the same amount of heat as you.

Botox! Not got wrinkles yet? How does that work? Perhaps I should just accept that I am awesomely fit and work much harder than the others in class. DGOAB you should deffo give it a go, makes you much less tired riding I've found, good for core strength and balance. thanks all
Yours
Sweaty Betty 🙂

No doubt the pole you use is vital to the overall performance?
