== == Sweating is your body's way of cooling itself off. And everyone has a different sweating pattern. How much you sweat is affected by gender, genetics, age, fitness level, and environment. Humans can have between 2 and 4 million sweat glands - it all depends on what you're born with. The more you have, the more you'll sweat. Women tend to sweat less because they are better able to regulate the amount of water they're losing. They also begin to sweat at higher temperatures compared to men. Fit people sweat more efficiently by sweating sooner in their workout, when their body temperature is lower. However, a sedentary person doing the same intensity workout as a fit one will get hot a lot faster and possibly will sweat more. Overweight people sweat more profusely than normal weight individuals because fat acts as an insulator that raises their core temperature.

Heavier people sweat more because it takes more energy to move around if you weigh more and as you use energy and exercise you get hotter and naturally sweat more to cool you down.

Sweating easier or more freely does not necessarily mean you are in better shape than someone who doesn't. Everyone has a different sweating pattern.

Why do we sweat more in humidity?

It is actually not a matter of sweating more but of it being more difficult to evaporate the sweat. If you are in a dry and windy place it is very simple for sweat to evaporate, in a more humid area there is more water in the air already and therefore makes evaporation of the sweat much more difficult. Then it would appear that you sweat more because you are seeing the sweat, however it is a matter of evaporation.
