Why do I sweat so much after showering after a workout?

Question

After showering following a workout, I notice that I sweat more than I did during the workout. I dont normally sweat profusely (i.e. sweaty palms, drenched dress shirts, etc...). I'm just talking about after my post-workout shower. If I had to hypothesize, I'd say its some kind of osmotic effect, but I'd like to hear from someone who can describe whats really going on.

Answer 1

Perhaps you don't allow yourself enough time to cool off after your work out. Do that first and then hit the showers.

Answer 2

Next time drink some cold water to help cool your core body temperature; wait maybe 15 mintues and you should be OK  

Answer 3

I also experience this. I started to shower in tepid water longer so my body can cool off. It works so, you might want to try that.......... )
