Here is a great workout tip

[Spinin28]

Yesterday, while I was doing Gym Style legs and I got to the calf raises off the step..I realized that if I put my yoga sticky mat over the top it kept my toes from slipping off the back of the step, and I felt more comfortable letting a bit more of my heel hang off the end of the step.

Just thought I would pass it along to all of you.

The Yoga mats have so many great uses besides just Yoga!

Great idea, I'll do that next time.

Thanks,

That is a great idea! I am constantly re-adjusting my feet.

I'm going to try that!

Thanks, Melissa

I bought one and cut it to fit and i use the rest for push ups.
It feels good laying on the step for chest work too.

My feet slip all the time, I never thought to use my yoga mat. Thank you for the great tip.

Do you think this would help for static lunges? My feet slip all the time and I am never sure if I have them placed correctly.. sometimes I even get a cramp in my calf of the rear leg.

Yes, this does help for static lunges! I have to use a mat every time for these since replacing the carpet with laminate flooring.
