You have probably stopped sweating because your body is used to the intensity of your workout; it's not making the same effort it used to make; you should probably increase the intensity or do intervals at different speeds.

You need to monitor your pulse when doing a cardio work out, and make sure you’re keeping it at a targeted range for a sufficient amount of time. You can find information on the internet that will teach you how to use age to calculate a target pulse and duration for exercise. Once you start working out at a sufficient intensity you should begin to sweat again.

You built up endurance. Your getting used to your workout so you don't have to exert as much energy or work. When I feel like I'm building up tolerance I usually increase my workout. Have you tried running? That will get you sweating like crazy!

Okay, sorry I was unsure of your age. Anyway, you could pick up the pace of walking. That will give you a better workout.

lauriebells, thanks 4 the replies. 4.1 mph is fast 4 me. i've heard that switching to other cardio will help. how about elipical(sp) basically that's all my gym has for cardio, oh it has spinning but those are kinda rough on the buns.

The eliptical machine is definitely a lot higher intensity than the treadmill. It's a good step-up.

I agree, depending on how fast you go. It really gives you a good leg workout also.
