I am very athletic and in fairly good shape. I'm 6'0 168 lbs. I exercise outside 2 hours minimum everyday. I am a high school senior and i have always sweat more than everyone else in my Physed class. By the end of class, my entire shirt is soaked in sweat but my peers will sweat only a little bit. My dad also sweats with minimal activity. Is this genitic or just my body type?

Dear Swampy,\n\nSomeone with more knowledge on the subject may tell you to stay away from such treatments, but I have a friend that got botox treatments for her underarms to reduce sweating.\n\nDoesnt sound completely healthy to me, preventing your body from performing a natural reaction (cooling your body) but if your worried about the amount you sweat, may be worth checking out.

No> When you sweat it helps you're body rid of toxins. Its great to sweat!\nHe might be eating the wrong foods, or better yet tell him to drink more water when this happens. To replace the fluids.

Girl, go to Bailey's Total Fitness, for like 30 days, I worked out for two weeks and already saw results (at the YMCA). You could do it at your local YMCA, but you have to be SUPER motivated...sounds like you are.  On the day of prom..no carbs (increases bloating), no salt and drink LOTS of water (makes you pee more, reduces bloating also)...that night just have fun.. After an hour of dancing you don't give damn anymore anyways....

Suprisingly enough I would have to say its your diet and physical activity. The same happens to me if I eat unhealthy (example fast food/junkfood). The thing is junkfood has a lot of waste that our bodies don't need. One way of getting rid of the waste is sweating. Exercise and you'll see a whole lotta difference when it comes to everyday life. One extra thing you can do is try to eat fruits, fruits cleanse the body. Cut out the crappy food, exercise atleast 3 times a week if possible, and try to eat fruits, and I promise you, you'll feel drier that ever!

Firstly there are two points that are very good in your question:\n1) School is above all- it is your future.\n2) Fitness is very important for everyday life.\nAs a military fitness coach and athlete I know that fitness and a good sweat helps the mental side of studies and has a general impact on the trainer, but you have to commit yourself and be serious to see any results.\nAs for your parents: My attitude would be to explain that you would like to sign up for a gym as a hobby and try it out. If you do enjoy it I am sure (as an honors student) you will be able to manage both. \nRemember that you cannot train every day. In the beggining you will start with 2, max 3 sessions a week and slowly build up a routine and expand your training sessions. Another point is that your training should be no more than 2 hours (including a warm up, cool down a a good shower, at least at the beggining) which is another point for your parents- your training will not take up THAT much time.\nAnyway good luck... hope you keep to it... a healthy body means a healthy mind!

I think we have the same body type and I have asked personal trainers about this before...go to mypyramid.gov to see what portions of food you should be eating daily.  As far as exercise, try jogging, walking, as well as pilates.  I have a pilates workout video for the legs and I noticed a difference after using it!!  On the bright side, it sounds like you are a "pear shape" as opposed to an "apple shape".  Pear shapes are better because the fat is further away from your heart!

You should wear what you usually wear.  If it's something "professional", great.  If not, that's great too.  I had people show up for my first class in sweats and a tank top - and they were some of the most interesting, and most successful, people in the class.  It's not about what you wear, it's about the attitude you present.  Don't be afraid to introduce yourself to the people you're sitting next to - odds are they're just as nervous as you are.  Ask them where they're from, what they're majoring in, why they chose this college, etc.  Class is one of the best places to meet new people - and it's always nice to know people in your class, should you miss a day, or need help with homework.  Most of all - have FUN!  College is some of the best years of your life - don't waste them being nervous!

Everyone doesn't sweat identically, but too much thirst despite drinking adequate water and negligible amount of sweating - all combined, are symptoms that need a qualified medical specialists testing and advice. Do not just neglect this. Even a medical team of different categories of specialists, may have to carry out investigation and tests before they can diagnose and treat. But consult an expert medical specialist (i.e., specialist in medicine) first. He would know, if other specialists need to see you or not.

1. Bring this up with your parents, and then bring it up with your doctor.  Some people have overactive sweat glands.\n\n2. Talk to your doctor about this.  Start eating more fiber.  Whole grains (wheat bread, wheat pasta), whole apples, beans, vegetables.  This will relax your digestive system and make your bowel movements much easier.  Drink water, and introduce fiber to your body slowly.\n\n3. Don't worry so much about that.  Eat a well-balanced diet and get exercise.  At 14, you don't need to be 80-90lbs.  That sounds very unhealthy for a growing girl.  The very fact that you're trying out for volleyball is a good sign that you're ready to be active and in shape.  Worry less about your weight and worry more about how you feel.  Be confident, and try out for the team.  Even if you don't make it, you'll be proud of yourself.  Get active and stay healthy.  Your weight will work itself out.

I'm a sprinter too, and i'm your age and also run the 100m dash. I always get my heart-rate up before I sprint. I do a couple of stideouts so I can get the adrenaline going. Then right when he says on your marks, I take a deep breath and go. Also when you run don't make a fist, keep your hands loose, it takes up energy when you clench them. I usually am in the 14 secs. \nMy coach told me to just keep lifting weights and that I"m only a freshman so as you get older your muscles get bigger and you get faster. So it will take some time, but for now just keep up the good work! :)

Its just your body's reaction to arousal (by that I mean stress or excitement) If you sweat excessively, try a product called DRICLOR, you should be able to get it in your local chemist. (you apply it the night before and it completely stops you from sweating - armpit area anyway)

Yes. Some people just sweat more than others and some not at all, but I'll bet if you took your workout to 45 minutes you'd break a sweat. It also depends on the intensity at which you are working out. I used to walk a 4 minute mile and not really sweat that much. So it depends on the person.

You sound like your Adrenal gland is over stimulated...  I would suggest that you look at the book: "Dr. Abravanel's body type diet and lifetime nutrition plan"  Read the first 50 pages take the test... If you are indeed an "A-Type" It is typical that you would have a stomach even though you are 15... Follow what is designed for you (By the test)  I am an "A-Type" and I have always had a belly and since I've been on this I feel great and no longer am overweight. (Also I would say sit-ups are not what you need... Sit-ups would build muscle under the fat and you may even look more overweight.  Cardiovascular stuff (Like running) is what I would recommend)

My high school still requires freshman to take the swim test and if they can't pass it, they have to keep retaking it. In fact, all freshman and sophmores have to take P.E. and pass it to graduate. In P.E., we run 3 miles a week and play sports for an hour every Mon., Wed., and Friday. They even offer weight training classes as electives for sophmores, juniors and seniors. Our school has wrestling teams, basketball, volleyball, tennis, baseball, and track teams. Most of the kids in my school are pretty fit, but a small amount of them are obese.

The productive effect of your exercise has to do with the muscles and the effort they exert. Sweating is not a body-building process, it is a temperature-regulation process to dump waste heat generated by your activities.  Your central nervous system starts to break down if your internal body temperature rises above 107 or so! \n\nYour exercise program builds you up by proper use of the muscle groups in a planned manner.  The only difference in your physiology when there is AC around, is a slightly lower loss of water and of the body salts that go with sweat.  If it makes you more comfortable as you exercise, and encourages you to keep to your program, it may make for a much better training experience.

Get the anti-perspirant Certain Dri. You will never sweat from your underarms. Eliminates all odor. Has no smell. Has no residue so it does not stain your clothes at all. It is a roll on you can get at any drug store in the anti-perspirant section. You put it on at night. Go to sleep. Wake up and take a shower. The residue of the deoderant is gone, but you don't sweat or smell at all for a couple of days. And when I say you don't sweat or smell I mean it. I go to the gym and my shirt gets soaked except for under the arms. That is how well it works. I have used the product for over a decade, and have had no unhealthy skin responses from using it.
