How can I stop sweating so much in the gym?
I've been going to the gym regularly now for about 6mo, started off with just cardio and in the last month switched to mostly strength training.
But I sweat so much. I leave the gym and my workout clothes have doubled in weight. I'm a bald guy so on my head it's got nowhere to go. I tried wearing a cap but it just seems to pool up in there. I carry a towel around with me but within half an hour it feels soaked.
I'm working out, so I know I'm gonna sweat, but already self-conscious it's putting me off sticking with it. It wasn't such a problem when running/rowing/etc., because I'm both zoned out and not affecting anyone else.
I will wipe down equipment after use, but my gym is so busy by the time I get back to the front desk where the wipes are kept someone's already on the way to the machine I was using.
I don't think I've got hyperhidrosis, I'm fine otherwise. I don't want to go to a doctor to be told, yeah dummy you're working out, you're gonna sweat. But Is there anything I can take to sweat less? Does anyone else have to deal with this?
