Is it normal to sweat excessively during exercise?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes—sweating a lot during exercise is usually normal; it’s how your body cools itself. How much you sweat varies with the workout, temperature, clothing, and your own body.

Some people naturally sweat more than others, and you may sweat more in hot or humid weather or during a hard workout. It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re less fit or doing anything wrong. Drink water and take cooling breaks as needed.

If the sweating is a sudden change, happens even with light activity or at rest, or comes with symptoms like faintness, chest pain, or unusual shortness of breath, get it checked out.
