Speaking of sweat, I take a yoga practice 3x a week here in Mexico. It's not "hot yoga" per se, but it's conducted in a room without A/C or even fans. Sometimes there is a bit of breeze through the screened windows, but not much. And I sweat HARD. I drip all over my mat (which I cover with a towel less I slip and slide everywhere) and I see sweat droplets in all sorts of odd places like the inside of my forearms and my shins. My hair gets soaked (I wear a band to soak up some of it) as well. I just never used to sweat like this! I'm not sure it's because I'm post-menopausal now, or just exercising in warmer environments.

I've read that heavy sweating can indicate good fitness, but I've also seen some obviously very out of shape people sweating heavily, so I am not sure if I believe that or not. I just know that it's a bit embarrassing, especially when I look around and most of the other participants are not sweating at all in an obvious way. Sometimes there will be a man in the practice, and they tend to sweat more, I've noticed.

So, I definitely feel your pain, Marni!
