Stop Slipping When doing Yoga.
When I first started P90X I started doing the exercises on the floor. I soon found out that even on carpet your hands slip. So I went out an purchased a Yoga Mat. I was a little disappointed when my hands still slipped using the new mat.
Yoga is hard enough without having to try and fight with slipping hands and feet. I thought maybe I bought the wrong mat. I was prepared to purchase a new one so I began to search and see which was the best.
What I found was that almost all mats slip. Some people said that after a while the new finish wears and you won’t slip any more. Some said to wash the mat with soap and water. Then I found a post that said to wear weight lifting or biker gloves (the ones with the fingertips cut off). The idea here is that it keeps the sweat off your hands. That made a lot of sense to me. So I happened to have a pair of leather motorcycle gloves and I thought that’s cheaper than buying a new mat, so why not give it a try.
Viola it worked. The gloves grip on the mat and no more slipping. So if you are having an issue with slipping on your mat try running to your local sports store or motorcycle shop and pick up a pair of no finger gloves.
Sincerely,
Coach Glen
