Because some people sweat more (or less) than others. 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!

dont you lose calories when you sweat?

You burn more calories when your heartrate goes up, that's all. Absolutely nothing to do with how many liters of sweat you'll be leaving on the floor.....

nina is correct, but one thing that you need to review is your water intake; not sweating sufficiantly could be a sign of not drinking enough water.

yeah within this last week, I've been sweating a lot more! It used to take me forever to sweat, now 5 minutes on the treadmill and im dripping. I think its the amount of water I take in now, because the sweat seems clean.

Thanks for bringing this up people - I was wondering why I don't sweat much - someone once told me that once I was truly "physically fit" and in good condition, I would sweat more "constructively". 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 :)
