Have our lives got so busy that we can’t spend the time Waiting for our bodies to stop sweating? Nm Don’t answer that. We don’t even spend enough time sleeping lol
Cold showering.
Use that cool down time for your post workout protein intake (food, smoothie, whatever format you choose). Biggest impact post workout is a little protein fuel, even a snack.
But for the sweating itself, you need to lower your body temperature. Drink ice water as you finish your workout, use icepacks as you cool down, still take that shower but at a lower temperature, or train yourself to take ice cold showers (more effective for you overall anyway not just with sweating). Those are the quickest and easiest methods
100% this, everything this person says. I am also a lengthy post-workout sweater and these things help a lot.
I incorporated some core work into my post workout stretching. While focusing on deep breathing, heart rate & sweating slows down.
I ice bath. I don’t do it to stop sweating (I do it for other reasons), but trust me, you won’t get out sweating. And you will also probably hate me because it hurts.

For the cold shower recs, do y'all just go from workout directly to cold shower and stay in until you're done sweating?
I suffer from the same issue. I find if I get into a warm shower then adjust it slowly (over 2-3 minutes) to cold water, I don't come out of the shower sweating. I will say, I do also let that cold shower sink in...like 5 minutes of cold water.
I incorporate a workout cooldown and enjoy my few mins on the floor towel after. I usually lift for 45 mins then run for ~30 mins. After my run I’ll usually walk about 10 mins, drive home (only a few mins) and then during the summer (I’m in AZ so it’s so hard to cool off) I just sit on the floor under a fan for a few when I get home before a cold shower.
I continue walking slowly or do a cooldown stretch/slow dynamic stretching until I get my breathing under control. Stand next to your door outside to stretch. You’ll still be sweating a little, but not profusely
Breathwork. Your heart rate is high and you need to bring it down. The fastest way to do that is buy doing block breathing for around 5 minutes. That means breathing in through your nose for 4 seconds, holding for 4, exhaling through your nose for 4, holding for 4, and repeating. Had a run today, got my heart rate up to 180, and was able to get down to 90 within 5 minutes doing this.

Okay so everyone who said cold shower - I trialed this today and the verdict is it did not help.
I went for my run then came in drank some h20, a protein shake and jumped into a cold shower. I stood there for 10 or so mins in as cold as my shower could go. I got out and 2 mins later was sweating profusely - possibly more than I had been before as a compensation mechanism haha. I was sweating for like 15 full minutes as I drove to the store 🤦♂️
