What Causes Excessive Sweating After A Work Out?
Question: When i workout i sweat a lot, even in the AC i sweat till im all shiny, this also happens during sex, is this normal??
Brief Answer:
it is normal
Detailed Answer:
HI XXXXXXX
It is absolutely normal to sweat while you are working out
Your metabolism increases when you work out
Your oxygen consumption increases.
This will result in increase in heat production and therefore also the body temperature
The body's method of normalizing the temperature is via sweating
So yes, you sweat no matter what the outside temperature is
Best of luck
