How much do you sweat after a long workout?

I am a Tennis player, and a soccer player, I usually work out at least 2 hours a day. After my work out I relize that I am drenched everywhere. I was even wearing some really loose clothing, just tank top, and shorts. Is this normal? How much do you sweat after a workout, and where do you sweat?

You might want to pay more attention to your hydration.....





Your athletic performance can start to suffer with as little as a pound or two of water loss. Electrolytes can become an issue as well.





Everyone's sweat rate is different. I've had mine measured at over 2 liters per hour for a hard cycling workout in 85掳 temps.

It really depends on what type of workout I have. I dance and sweat more in my hip hop classes then my ballet classes. I also do bikram yoga and sweat a ton since the room is 100 degrees. i sweat a lot on face and back...weird.
Reply:Everyone sweats differently. For myself it takes an extreme amount of heat for me to sweat. Others it takes much less. I would not worry about it.
Reply:Sweating is your body's way to combat heat. The sweat is your body's natural cooling system. It's ok to sweat, it means that you are properly hydrated.
Reply:I work out fairly often.


3 days weight training/ cardio


2 days of 45 minutes of cardio.





I sweat most on my cardio days.


By the way, I'm a 26 year old male, who has started working out frequently only 5 months ago.





Either way,


The top of my chest gets real sweaty, my arm pits get sweaty, my face/hair gets sweaty, and (nasty) my belly button area gets sweaty.





Yuck, I wish I didn't sweat so much.
Reply:I have been working out everyday for the past month at least 2-3hrs a day, and I too am absolutely drenched by the time my work out is finished. It will start from my head and all the way down to my legs. Surpringly enough, the only place that is not that bad are my arm pits, probably because of the great deodorant I use! This is deemed to be normal, it just means that you are healthy and are releasing toxins out of your body. I would only get concerned if you were sweating profusely without working out, then I would definitely see someone about it, but because you are active, I see no reason for you to be concerned.
Reply:After soccer I used to be drenched also! Its alot of running.
