every time i work out really hard and sweat a lot, after i cool down and shower and get dressed, i am cold for the rest of the day. very cold. like in the summer i am wearing jackets and sweaaters. it is very annoying, as i am sensitive to the cold anyway. i have had some people tell me that it is from dehydration. UNPOSSIBLE i say because i drink plenty of water daily. does anyone know what could be causing this?

Don't know, but I'm the same way!!!!!!!

I kinda have the same deal...mine never lasted all day though, only an hour or two...im a pretty hefty guy so Im usually hot rather than cold. I found that the hotter the shower after the workout, the colder I was after getting dry and such. Especially if I hit the steam room or sauna..then I just freeze my ass off. I now start with a warm shower and slowly turn it cold. (<-also known as the Ancient Indian Secret...to be used on passed out people) People have told me that its dehydration too....maybe..read on...

One thing that I have noticed about gulping lots of water is that if I dont eat something that at least has some sodium in it, the water just fires right through me..no matter how much Ive sweated during the workout, all the water that I drink heads straight for the bladder..which basically leaves me dehydrated..i.e no water retention. If I throw a tiny bit of salt im my water (not so much that it yucky) I never have the problem..

just my thoughts

i might add that about 2 years ago i lost about 80 pounds. since then i have been more bothered by the cold. my insulation is gone.

i usually keep my sodium intake at a good level because, well, i love salt. but when i work out i loose A LOT of salt. in the summer i am covered with a film of salt after a ride or a run. i have to keep that in mind.

I was going to ask you that. My cousin went though the same thing. She lost a lot of body fat and cannot gets cold very quickly.

I've never heard ot that before. Weird. I am the opposite way, especially if I do cardio in the morning. My heart rate stays up longer and I am very warm for hours after the workout.

I am also sweaty for hours after a workout. Maybe it is just a male female thing. Seems to me that women always seem to be colder than men.

I'm the same as you guys. I get rididculously hot after working out or cardio. The heat will be gone in 45 min to an hour, but I keep on sweating long after that.

well it depends i'm usaully warm for the rest fo the day but say i go on a 3+ hour ride and i'm totally physically drained of energy like no glycongen left i'm very cold. Usaully for me workouts under 3 hours wouldn't make me cold instead they'de make me warmer but if you really tire yoursefl out you'll be cold.
Like you see marathon runners get those thermal blankets after their race to keep them from getting cold.
Atleast thats what i think.
