Why dont you sweat the same on your lower part of the body, like your legs ?

1. Your upper body builds up alot of heat because it has less surface area in proportion to heat generated. You've got your heart, and all sorts of core muscles that tend to get involved whether you are lifting, running, or doing calisthenics.
2. You have more sweat glands on your upper body.

Wow, I looked all over for an answer to this online and couldn't find one. Great question. I'll go with that your organs are located there as well, and maybe have more sweat glands. I sweat the most on my face, chest, and the back of my legs. I hope someone finds a real answer for this though!

Must be you. I have a faucet on my face when I work out. ha!
Seriously, maybe it has to do with the local body temp vs. evaporation rate. Maybe you have more water to sweat in your torso than in your legs?

my guess is that's where your organs are located.
Heart and lungs, that are both working hard when you're exercising, so there'd probably be more sweat pores there so cool down your core. You don't want your heart to over heat.
