I'm goona back hutchy on this.

i didn't sweat much and I was averagely fit. Then i started fell running & got marathon fit and the sweat would start in minutes like a tap was being turned on even if I was doing something relaxing like tai chi.

Now i'm back to normal and not so sweaty

well tbh id say some really fat guy is goin to sweat a sh*t tonne more than me so i cant see how being fitter means you sweat more

Yes it's a common misconception that fit people don't sweat as much as unfit folks. A fat person may sweat more because there moving a bigger mass hence a more stressful workout. Generally the more fitter you get the more efficiently your body regulates its temperature by sweating, moving blood to the surface etc.

But sweating isn't a true guide to fitness level rather a good indicator of how well your body cools itself during stress. Each person is different.

That would depend on how fit you are and how good your body is at cooling itself down. Generally during exercise the fitter you are the more you will sweat as your body attempts to regulate it's temperature.

i dont see how you guys sweat that much when snowboarding anyways, its hardly the most physical sport when piste riding, onto edge-carve-swap edge-carve ....etc... they only time you would sweat is if its a hot day and youre wearing a thick ass down jacket and hitting some steeps or bumps

Back to the original question..a diary is a must for me and pick up the different writing styles. For instance i write in short bullet points include drawings and other dribble. I also allow others to write in it.

I'd be really surprised if you don't break a sweat when hiking with a full pack of Avy gear on your back along with your board...!

The guy at work who empties the bin also is "deodorant free" and his nickname is Stig of the Dump.

Cheers guys for the feedback and hygine tips Was wondering how worthwhile a laptop would be as I will hopefully be in meribel/courcheval so will there be internet cafes etc., also what type of travel insurance would be worth investing in?

Cheers

how exactly is having regular showers gross? deodorant does nothing but cover up body odour which i dont seem to suffer from, and i dont sweat a sh*t tonne anyways.

its not like im gonna be taking lessons smelling like stig of the dump just because i dont bother with deodorant.

LOL I've got some mates like you who don't get that they honk either
