I got a Singaporian girl training in my gym and she only needs to LOOK at the tread mill and she'll sweat all over the place..... Me, I can train for hours and I hardly sweat at all. Everybody is different and sweat ISN'T a sign of hard training! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Huh??? I sure nice to know I can finally tell myself I am in good condition and not have to wait until I start sweating! LOL BTW - I do drink a bundle of water, so it wasn't that :)
