Im new to the gym, Im doing an hours cardio session a day to loose weight and to feel firmer but what i wont to know is it normal for sweat to pour off my face and body in bucket loads? (the sweat is litrally drip drip dripping of my face and all over the machines.) the reason why i ask is because i dont actually see anyone sweat as much as me. :(

    Oh yeah, completely normal. I first noticed this when I made my move between dry climate to humid. All of a sudden my workouts involved sweat dripping on to the floor.

    I hope you show etiquette and wipe off the machines when you're done with them. Take a few breaks to wash your face with cold water.

    Yes. If you're working really hard, you'll sweat a lot. Don't worry about what other people think. They should be there to work out, not to look at you.

        I don't know how long it will take. Everyone's different. You could try bring a sweat headband and a towel to dry yourself often. If you aren't sweating, you aren't trying. Ladies also like a sweating man ;).

    If you are somewhat overweight this is totally normal, especially since it's hot out now. Your body gets rid of water weight first so if you carry extra water you are going to sweat it out.

    Answer mine please?
