Dealing with sweat...

I never used to have any issues with too much sweat, but lately it seems like the minute I start doing heavy cardio it just starts pouring...it's gross.

It's super distracting to be in a group class and have to constantly be wiping at my eyes/forehead because the sweat keeps getting in my eyes.

My question to you guys is - how do you combat the sweat? Is there an amazing headband/sweatband out there that helps prevent sweat from getting in your eyes? Please recommend your favorite method/product to solve this!

    Does it stay in place throughout a vigorous workout, or do you feel like it slips?

    I'm super sweaty, and I just deal with it.  If I'm lifting, I'll have a towel near me, but a lot of the time, it just is what it is.  I do get sweat in my eyes, but most of the time I end up wiping more forehead before it gets in my eyes.

    I literally get teased at Crossfit for using so much chalk because my palms get so sweaty!

    EMBRACE IT!!

    The fitter you get, the more your bosy sweats. When you start working out, it basically says, "oh CRAP HERE SHE GOES!!" and gets a jump start on the sweating because it knows how intense you are. Take it as a compliment from your boy and embrace it!! 

    Or just roll your eyes and call me a hippie ;) 

    Also,  lululemon tops hide my sweat well, but the hair/face thing is just one of those things I deal with. I have a great absorbant towel for that.

    I just deal. A little sting in the eyes every now and then while I'm working out doesn't bother me. The only time I do anything about it is during spinning. I bring a towel for that, but otherwise I don't mind it. Honestly, if I'm not sweating I don't feel like I'm working hard enough. The sweatier the better!

    Oh, I totally understand that it's GOOD that I'm sweating, It's just sort of irritating. I was hoping more people would have ways to combat it dripping into your eyes while working out though.

    Guess I'll be taking a look at that headband Stage suggested!

    So do we all here sweat more than other women do, or do just all women sweat more than society thinks is supposedly attractive and acceptable?

    Well I'm talking about an actual increase in my sweat production - I was extremely overweight when I started exercising and I've noiced that I sweat significantly more now that I'm in better shape. I could give less a cr@p what society thinks about my sweating one way or another.

    I believe all of us are approaching this as a fitness thing, not a "dainty woman" thing.
